SPECIFIC SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR BENCH

The operation of any grinder can result in
debris being thrown into your eyes, which can
result in severe eye damage. ALWAYS WEAR
EYE PROTECTION. Any power tool can
throw debris during operations, which could
cause severe and permanent eye damage.
Everyday eyeglasse are NOT safety glasses.
ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (that comply
with ANSI standard Z87.1) when operating
power tools.
Basic precautions should always be followed
when using your bench grinder. To reduce the
riskofinjury,electricalshock,orre,comply
with the safety rules listed below:
1. ALWAYS USE THE EYE SHIELDS AND
WHEEL GUARDS provided with the grinder.
2. REPLACE A CRACKED OR DAMAGED
GRINDING WHEEL IMMEDIATELY. A
damaged wheel can discharge debris at a
high velocity towards the operator. Carefully
handle the grinding wheels since they are
abrasive. Prior to replacing a grinding wheel,
check it for cracks. DO NOT remove the
blotter or label on both sides of the grinding
wheel. Tighten the spindle nut just enough to
holdthegrindingwheelrmlytotheBench
Grinder. Do not over-tighten the nut.
Excessive clamping force can damage the
grindingwheel.Onlyusethewheelanges
provided with the grinder. When selecting a
replacement grinding wheel, verify that the
grinding wheel has a higher R.P.M. rating than
the maximum R.P.M. of the Bench Grinder.
3. THE DIAMETER OF THE GRINDING
WHEELS WILL DECREASE WITH USE.
Adjust the tool rests and spark arrestors to
maintain a distance of 1/16” from the wheel.
4. DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF THE
BENCH GRINDER WHEN STARTING IT.
Stand to one side of the Bench Grinder and
turn it “ON”. Wait at the side for one minute
until the grinder comes up to full speed. There
is always a possibility that debris from a
damaged grinding wheel may be discharged
towards the operator.
5. THE BENCH GRINDER WILL PRODUCE
SPARKS AND DEBRIS DURING GRINDING
OPERATIONS.
Besurethattherearenotanyammable
materials in the vicinity. Frequently clean
grinding dust from the back of the Bench
Grinder.
6. NEVER FORCE THE WORKPIECE
AGAINST A GRINDING WHEEL, especially
if the wheel is cold. Apply the workpiece
slowly, allowing the grinding wheel an
opportunity to warm up. This will minimize
the chance of wheel breakage. DO NOT grind
using the sides of the grinding wheels. DO
NOT apply coolant directly to the grinding
wheel.
7. KEEP ALL WHEEL GUARDS IN PLACE.
DO NOT USE THE BENCH GRINDER WITH
THE WHEEL GUARDS REMOVED.
8. KEEP THE TOOL RESTS FIRMLY
TIGHTENED.
9. ALWAYS USE THE SUPPLIED WHEEL
DRESSER TO RESURFACE THE FACE OF
THE GRINDING WHEEL.
10. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to
see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from tool before turning it on.
11. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a
blade or cutter against the direction of rotation
of the blade or cutter only.
12. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or
attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
13. DO NOT overtighten wheel nut.
14. ONLYuseangesfurnishedwiththe
grinder.
15. FREQUENTLY clean grinding dust from
beneath grinder.
16. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to perform
an operation for which it was not designed. It
will do a safer and higher quality job by only
performing operations for which the tool was
intended.
