IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION

When using electric tools, always read and follow all safety precautions, warnings and
operating instructions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, property damage and personal
injury. Failure to read and follow all warnings and operating instructions may result in
damages and serious injury or death.
1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered work area and benches invite injuries.

rain or water. Do not use power tools in or near damp or wet locations. Do not use tool near flam-
mable liquids, gases or other flammable products.
3. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Do not allow children or visitors in work area.
4. STORE IDLE TOOLS. Store tools in a dry location without access to others when not in use.
5. DO NOT FORCE TOOL. Using the tool for which it was intended will result in a more safe and
efficient job and a longer tool life.
6. USE RIGHT TOOL. Do not use a small tool or accessory for a large job which it was not intended
for.
7. DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair from being exposed.
Loose items can get caught in wheel and cause serious injury or death. Wear approved protective
gloves and slip resistant footwear.

grounded extension cord that is UL listed and is the proper size for the length of the extension cord.
An undersized or damaged extension cord can cause overheating, loss of power, fire, damages and
serious injury or death.

breathing protection.

efficient performance. Follow instructions for inspecting grinding wheels, power supply cord and
safety guard adjustments.
12. REMOVE FOREIGN OBJECTS. Always assure that wrenches and all tools used for repairs or
adjustments are removed and clear of the grinder before turning on.
13. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Do not hold objects in hand while turning switch on to
prevent unintentional starting of the grinder.

aged or loose parts, alignment and binding of moving parts, proper switch operation and proper
adjustment of all safety guards. Do not use grinder until all damaged or defective parts are repaired
or replaced properly by an authorized service representative for safe operation.
