GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or seriousinjury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
powertool.
1) Work Area Safety
a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas inviteaccidents.
b ) 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 orfumes.
c ) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to losecontrol.
2) Electrical Safety
a ) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electricshock.
b ) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed orgrounded.
c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electricshock.
d ) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electricshock.
e ) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electricshock.
f ) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI
reduces the risk of electricshock.
3) Personal Safety
a ) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personalinjury.
b ) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personalinjuries.
c ) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energizing power tools that
have the switch on invitesaccidents.
d ) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personalinjury.
e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpectedsituations.
f ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in movingparts.
g ) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-relatedhazards.
h ) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power Tool Use and Care
a ) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it wasdesigned.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
berepaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery, pack if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power toolaccidentally.
5
English
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrainedusers.
e) Maintain power tools and accesories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
powertools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier tocontrol.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardoussituation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.

ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS AND SAFETY
Power supply and motor specifications
WARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, fire
hazards, or damage to the tool, use proper circuit
protection. Use a separate electrical circuit for
your tool. Your grinder is wired at the factory for
120 V operation. Connect to a 120 V, 2.1 Amp
circuit and use a 2.1 Amp time delay fuse or
circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, if power
cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it
replaced immediately.
Grounding instructions
WARNING: This tool must be grounded while in use
to protect the operator from electrical shock.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
currents and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with an electrical cord that has an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into a matching receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the
receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualified
electrician.
• ALWAYS EASE THE WORKPIECE AGAINST THE
ABRASIVE WHEEL when starting to grind. A harsh
impact can break the wheel. Use light pressure when
starting to grind. Too much pressure on a cold wheel can
cause the wheel to crack.
• USE ONLY FLANGES furnished with this bench grinder.
• IF ANY PART OF THIS GRINDER IS MISSING or should
break, bend, fail in any way, or should any electrical
component fail to perform properly, shut off the power
switch, remove the machine plug from the power surce
and have damaged, missing, or failed parts replaced
before resuming operation.
• SAFETY SHIELD AND SPARK DEFLECTOR. The safety
shields and spark deflectors are adjustable for operator
convenience. Operating the grinder without these
features attached could result in serious injury. Do not
grind with the safety shield raised. Always wear safety
glasses for personal protection.
• WORK REST. The work rests are independently
adjustable to compensate for wheel wear. Before
grinding, make certain the work rests are adjusted
properly. Generally, the object being ground is done
slightly above the center of the grinding wheel.
• Lawn mower blades are usually sharpened on only
one edge and dressed up slightly on the other. Perform
this sharpening process on both cutting ends of the
blade. After sharpening, balance the blade by removing
additional material.
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
Handling the power cord on this product may expose
you to chemicals known to the state of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Wash hands after handling.

IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor
with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is
the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement
of the electrical cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you do
not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you
are not certain the tool is properly grounded.
USE only 3-wire extension cords that have three-pronged
grounding plugs with three-pole receptacles that accept
the tool’s plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords
immediately.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must
not be less than #18 wire and should be protected with a
2.1 Amp time lag fuse. Before connecting the motor to the
power line, make sure the switch is in the off position and the
electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the
motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the
motor.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS USE THE PROPER
EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. Use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power, overheating and
burning out of the motor. The table below shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good
condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it
repaired by a qualified technician before using it. Protect your
extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or
wet areas.
WARNING: This tool is for indoor use only. Do not
expose to rain or use in damp locations.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle
like the one illustrated in Fig. B . Fig. B shows a three-pronged
electrical plug and receptacle that has a grounding conductor.
If a properly grounded receptacle is not available, an adapter
(Fig. C) can be used to temporarily connect this plug to a two-
contact grounded receptacle. The adapter (Fig. C) has a rigid
lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a permanent
earth ground, such as a properly grounded receptacle box.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the receptacle is
properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified
electrician check the receptacle.

materials.

If possible, take the scissors apart to make the sharpening
operation easier and safer. Remove material only from the
outside surface and work from the heavy end of the blade
toward the tip.
Knives
Remove metal from both faces of most knives, working from
the heavy end of the blade toward the tip.
Screwdrivers
The end of a properly sharpened screwdriver will be a
perfect rectangle, absolutely flat and perpendicular to the
center line of the shank. The two sides and two faces will
taper outward from the edge of the shoulder or shank. They
should be flat with intersecting faces perpendicular. Hold
each face of the screwdriver against the wheel to true it up,
then ease the end straight into the stone to grind it true.
Twist Drill Bits (Fig. O)
Drill bits are best sharpened on a sharpening jig, available
at most hardware stores, but can be “dressed up” on your
grinder. Begin on one side of the point at the existing angle,
then twist the bit while maintaining a constant angle with
grinding surface. Sharpen only the tip. This technique
requires considerable practice, so take your time and make
a few “dry runs” first with the grinder off. Be sure to maintain
the original cutting edge angle as this is important to the
efficiency of your bits. One tool rest has a V-groove that is
correctly angled for most drill bits.
Lawn Mower Blades
Lawn mower blades are usually sharpened on only one side
and dressed up slightly on the other. After sharpening, be
sure to balance the blade by removing additional material
from the heavy end. There are a number of inexpensive
cone balancers on the market for this purpose. Unbalanced
blades can cause serious crank shaft damage to your lawn
mower. Always remove spark plug wires from the mower
before servicing the blades to prevent accidental starting.
Dressing A Grinding Wheel (Fig. P)
Bring the dressing tool forward on the tool rest until it
touches the high point on the face of the wheel. Dress the
wheel by moving the dressing tool back and forth. Repeat
this operation until the face of the grinding wheel is clean
and the corner of the wheel is square.
nOTE: A wheel dressing tool is NOT provided with the
grinder.
nOTE: DO NOT use the wheel dressing tool on wire wheels.
Installing Wire Wheel Or Bung Wheels
(Not included)
When replacing the grinding wheel with a wire wheel
or buffing wheels, it is necessary to place a spacer (not
included) on the spindle shaft BEFORE installing the inner
flange, wheel, outer flange and wheel nut.
WARNING: Since accessories such as a wire wheel
or buffing wheel may not have been tested with this
product, use of such accessories could be hazardous.
All grinding wheels or accessories must fit within the
confines of the guard and must be rated higher than
the recommended speed as marked on the bench
grinder nameplate.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING: For your own safety, turn switch "OFF"
and remove plug from power soure outlet before
adjusting and maintaining your bench grinder. If
power cord is worn, cut or damaged in any way,
have it replaced immediately.
General Maintenance
1. Regularly check the tool and use a soft brush to remove
accumulated dust.
2. Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Do
not use alcohol, petrol or other similar cleaning agents.
3. Do not make contact with the grinding wheels with any
damp cloth.
4. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse
any part of the tool into a liquid.
5. Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes while cleaning.
6. Always make sure the eyeshields are transparent and not
blocking the view of the grinding wheel.
7. In normal use, grinding wheels may become cracked,
grooved, rounded at the edges, chipped, out of true or
loaded with foreign material. Cracked wheels should be
replaced IMMEDIATELY. While any of the other conditions
can be remedied with a dressing tool (included), new
wheels sometimes require dressing to make them
round.
8. If you must replace a wheel be sure to obtain one with
a safe rated speed at least as high as the “NO LOAD”
RPM marked on your grinder’s nameplate. Replacement
wheels must have a 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) center hole, 6 in.
(150 mm) diameter and should be a maximum of 3/4 in.
(20 mm) wide. Test new wheels for cracks and maintain
the existing sequence of retaining hardware. Be sure the
tool is unplugged before attempting repairs.
9. If replacing the batteries, take out the old batteries
and replace with new AAA batteries. When replacing
the batteries, the battery guide should be thoroughly
cleaned. Use a soft paintbrush or similar device, to
remove all sawdust and debris. Dispose off old batteries
properly. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix
alkaline, standard (carbon - zinc), or rechargeable (nickel
- cadmium) batteries. Batteries are to be inserted with
the correct polarity. Do not charge the battery which is
not a rechargeable battery.
WARNING: Never use caustic agents to clean the
plastic parts of the tool.
WARNING: Water must never come into contact with
the grinder.
WARNING: The use of any other accessories is not
recommended and may result in serious injury.
