27. Remove loose items and unnecessary work
pieces from the area before starting the grinder.
28. Don’t use in dangerous environment. Don’t use
power tools in damp or wet location, or expose
them to rain. Don’t use this grinder in a
flammable environment. Keep work area well
lighted.
29. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
30. Use right tool. Don't force tool or attachment to
do a job for which it was not designed.
31. Use proper extension cord. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one 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 and
overheating. Sect. 6.2, Table 2 shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage
number, the heavier the cord.
32. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and
clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
33. Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur
if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
34. Direction of feed. Feed work into a blade or
cutter against the direction of rotation of the
blade or cutter only.
35. Do not overtighten wheel nut.
36. Frequently clean grinding dust from around and
beneath grinder.
37. Use grinding wheels suitable for speed of
grinder.
38. Inspect abrasive wheels for cracks or other
forms of damage. Perform a “ring test” to check
wheel integrity. Do not use a faulty or damaged
wheel.
39. Verify that maximum RPM of abrasive or wire
wheel is compatible with speed of grinder. Do
not remove the blotter (label) from either side of
a grinding wheel.
40. Allow machine to reach full RPM before starting
the grinding operation.
41. Do not crowd the work so that the wheel slows.
42. Tool rest should be adjusted to approximately
1/16” from wheel surface.
43. Do not grind on the side of a wheel; do all work
on the grinding face or edge near the tool rest.
44. Do not grind aluminum or magnesium on the
grinding wheel, as these may pose a fire/safety
hazard.
45. Use only the flanges that are furnished with the
grinder.
46. Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work
when practical. It’s safer than using your hand
and it frees both hands to operate tool.
47. Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. Make
sure switch is in OFF position before plugging
in.
48. Allow wire brushes to run at operating speed for
at least one minute before using wheel. During
this time no one is to stand in front of or in line
with the brush.
