warnings can result in serious personal injury. The term “Power Tool” in all of the following
warnings refers to your main operated (corded) or battery operated (cordless) power
tool
Page 4
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. Do not
operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Electrical safety
Before use. ensure that the power outlet you are using matches the plug on your
power tool and that the voltage of the outlet matches that of your power tool.
Only use grounded extension cards with power tools fitted with 3 pin plugs and if
using outdoors ensure any extension cord is suitable for outdoor use.
Always try to avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as radiators, cooking
ranges and any other fixed appliance with metal surfaces.
Do not expose your power tool to wet or damp conditions and NEVER use in rain.
Check regularly the power cord of your machine and any extension cord that you are
using for damage.
Do not carry or pull the machine with the power cord.
Ensure the cord is clear from hot surfaces, oil or sharp objects.

Whilst we warn of all the possible risks attached to using power tools
Page 6

any operator must have read and understood the manual and apply their own
caution and common sense when using this machine.
Following this guide will greatly reduce your risk of electric shock or injury.
Grounding Tools
Electrical Powered Connections
3- Prong Plug and Outlet
Any electric powered tool that is marked Ground Required must have a fitted three
wired power cord. The main importance of this is the green wire within the cord, this
green wire must at all times be connected to the grounding prong of the plug. This
prong must never be removed or discarded. The green wire Must NEVER be conne-
cted to any other prong. The Three prong plug must only be connected to the power
supply through a three prong power outlet
The illustration above shows a three prong plug and outlet.
Only use qualified repair agents to service this machine.
Only use qualified electrician to repair any damaged wiring.
NEVER remove the grounding prong from the power toll or extension cord.
Page 7

Outlets for 2-Prong Plug
Any electric powered tool that is marked “Double Insulated” only needs a two prong
connection and will be perfectly safe to operate.
These tools do not require grounding as they are fitted with an additional insulation
system internally that complies with all relevant electrical safety standards.
Unlike the three prong tools these tools CAN be connected through outlets suitable
for two prong or three prong plugs.
The illustration above shows the outlets that this type of tool can be connected to.
Any power tool marked “Grounding Required”, MUST only be connected to a three
wire extension cord. Only double insulated tools can be connected to twowire cords.
When using any extension cord the machine will suffer a power reduction due to the
drop in voltage caused by the length of the cord. This can be partially offset by sele-
cting extension cords with lower gauge wire.
Double Insulated Power Tools
Plug and Outlet, 2 prong
e.g. Cords marked 14 gauge can carry a higher current than cords marked 16 gauge,
therefore when linking extension cords make sure each cord wire gauge matches.
Note: Outdoor extension cords used in must carry the letters “W-A” (USA)) or “W”(C-
anada)
Check all extension cords for damage before use.
Avoid sharp objects.
Do not position cord where it could be subject to traffic passing over it.
Page 8

Turn on the grinder and wait until it reaches full speed before you start grinding.
Use the tool rest to keep the work piece steady. Keep a steady even pressure on the
work piece and keep moving it from side to side at even pace for smooth grinding and
to avoid uneven wheel wear. Do not push too hard because this may overheat the
motor and prematurely wear down the wheels, work slowly.
Note the original grind angle on the item you are sharpening/grindring and try to keep
the same angle. Make sure the grinding wheel always rotates down onto the object
you are grinding to avoid injury. Obtain a tray with water and place it next to the grinder
to dip your work to keep from overheating or burning as this will weaken the metal.
WARNING: For your own safety, make sure switch is OFF and unplugged from the
power source before doing any maintenance or adjustments. Replace the power cord
immediately if it is cut, worn, or damaged in any way.
Under normal use, grinding wheels may become cracked, chipped, grooved or packed
with debris from materials being cut. If a wheel cracks or chips replace it immediately.
New wheels occasionally require dressing to remedy out of round conditions.
If replacing a wheel make sure it is replaced with the same wheel and specs as the
existing wheel. Maintain the existing sequence of retaining hardware. For your own
safety make sure grinder is unplugged before attempting any repairs.
Your bench grinder can be used for polishing and buffing, you can obtain these wheels
from most hardware stores.
WARNING: The use of any other accessories is not recommended because it may
result in serious injury.
Operation
Always wear eye protection when using this or any other grinder.

No utilice las herramientas motorizadas en atmósferas explosivas, tales como las que
contienen líquidos, gases o polvos inflamables. Las herramientas motorizadas crean
chispas que pueden encender el polvo o los humos.
Mantenga alejados a menores y curiosos mientras utiliza la herramienta motorizada.
Las distracciones pueden hacerle perder el control.

Seguridad eléctrica
Antes de usar, asegure que la toma de energía que utiliza coincide con el enchufe incluido
en su herramienta motorizada y que el voltaje de la toma coincide con el de la herramienta
motorizada.
Use solamente cables de extensión conectados a tierra con herramientas motorizadas
provistas de enchufes de 3 clavijas y si las usa en el exterior asegure que el cable de
extensión sea adecuado para uso externo.
Trate siempre de evitar contacto corporal con las superficies conectadas a tierra, tales
como las de radiadores, hornillas de cocinar y cualquier otro aparato fijo con superficies
metálicas.
No exponga su herramienta motorizada a condiciones mojadas o húmedas y no la use
NUNCA bajo la lluvia.
Compruebe regularmente el cable eléctrico de su máquina y cualquier cable de extensión
que esté utilizando por si muestra daños.
No transporte o tire de la máquina usando su cable eléctrico.
Asegure que el cable esté alejado de superficies calientes, aceite u objetos afilados.
No use nunca la máquina mientras está bajo la influencia de alcohol, drogas o med-
icamentos.
El cansancio con frecuencia puede causar accidentes; permanezca alerta.
No use nunca la máquina sin las cubiertas protectoras correctas en su sitio.
Use siempre protección ocular y máscara antipolvo aprobadas por ANSI. Mientras se
utiliza la herramienta motorizada deberá llevarse en todo momento calzado y auricu-
lares protectores.
Asegure que cualquier dispositivo colector de polvo suministrado con la máquina esté
conectado correctamente antes de usarla.
Asegure que todas las ropas, pelo largo o joyas se mantengan alejadas de la máquina.
Antes de enchufar la máquina en la toma eléctrica asegure que la máquina esté en la
posición OFF (apagada) y que todas las cuchillas y accesorios utilizados estén colo-
cados con seguridad.
Compruebe que hayan sido retiradas todas las llaves de tuercas o de ajuste. Cualquier
llave de tuerca o de ajuste que haya sido dejada acoplada a una pieza móvil puede
causar lesiones.
