Bench Grinder in any way.

BEFORE USING THE BENCH GRINDER

V!_I,W_'_;_I10[d

To avoid serious injury and damage to the tool, read and follow all of the Safety and Operating Instructions before

operating the Bench Grinder.

1. READ the entire Owner's Manual. LEARN how to use the tool for its intended applications.

2. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If the tool is supplied with a

3-prong plug, it must be plugged into a 3-contact electrical receptacle. The 3rd prong is used to

ground the tool and provide protection against accidental electric shock. DO NOT remove the 3rd

prong. See Grounding Instructions on page 4.

3. AVOID A DANGEROUS WORKING ENVIRON-

MENT. DO NOT Use electrical tools in a damp environment or expose them to rain.

4. DO NOT use electrical tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gasses

5, ALWAYS keep the work area clean, well lit, and

organized. DO NOT work in an environment with foot surfaces that are slippery from debds, grease,

and wax.

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Any power

tool can throw debris into the eyes during oper- ations, which could cause severe and permanent

eye damage. ALWAYS Wear Safety Goggles (that comply with ANSI standard Z87.1) when operating

power tools. Safety Goggles are available at Sears Retail Stores.

10. WEAR A DUST MASK TO PREVENT INHALING DANGEROUS DUST OR PARTICLES.

11. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TOOL FROM THE ELEC- TRICAL RECEPTACLE when making adjustments,

changing parts or performing any maintenance.

12. KEEP PROTECTIVE GUARDS IN PLACE AND IN

WORKING ORDER.

13. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure that

the powerswitch is in the "OFF" position before plugging in the power cord to the electrical

receptacle.

14. REMOVE ALL MAINTENANCE TOOLS from the immediate area priortoturning "ON"the BenchGrinder.

USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Use

of incorrect or improper accessories could cause serious injury to the operator and cause damage to

the tool. If in doubt, check the instruction manual that comes with that particular accessory.

16. NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED. Turnthe power switch to the "OFF" position. DO NOT

leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop.

6. KEEP VISITORS AND CHILDREN AWAY.

DO NOT permit people to be in the immediate work area, especially when the electrical tool is operating.

7. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to perform an operation for which it was not designed for. It willdo

a safer and higher quality job by only performing operations for which the tool was intended.

8. WEAR PROPER CLOTHING. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry. These items

can get caught in the machine during operations and

pull the operator into the moving parts. The user must

wear a protective cover on their hair, if the hair is

long, to prevent it from contacting any moving parts.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

17. DO NOT STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could result if the tool tips overor you accidentally contact

the tool.

18.

DO NOT store anything above or near the tool where

anyone might try to stand on the tool to reach it.

ing in a loss of power and overheating. USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS A 3-PRONG

GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS

If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is markedwith the suffix "W-A" ("W"inCanada) to indicatethatit isacceptablefor outdooruse.

23. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL IF UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.

24. SECURE ALL WORK. When itis possible, use clamps or jigs to secure the workpiece. This is safer than

attempting to hold the workpiece with your hands.

25. USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD CONDITION. When using an extension cord, be sure

to use one heavy enough to carry the current your

product will draw. The table below shows the correct

size to use depending on cord length and nameplate

amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.

The smaller the gauge number, the larger diameter of the extension cord. If in doubt of the proper size of an

extension cord, use a shorter and thicker cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage result-

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAK-

DOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance

for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an

equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching electrical

receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.

Be sure your extension cord is properly sized, and in good electricalcondition.Always replace a damaged extensioncordor have itrepaired by a qualifiedperson

before using it.

Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessiveheat, and damp or wet areas.

CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel

if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly

grounded.

USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS

A 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE

RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG.

DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If itwillnot fit the electricalreceptacle, have the properelectrical receptacle installedby a qualifiedelectrician.

IMPROPER ELECTRICAL 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. DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal if repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

REPLACE A DAMAGED OR WORN CORD IMMEDIATELY.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an electrical receptacle as shown in FIGURE A. FIGURE A

shows a 3-wire electrical plug and electrical receptacle that has a grounding conductor. If a property grounded

electhcal receptacle is not available, an adapter as shown in FIGURE B can be used to temporarily connect

this plug to a 2-contact ungrounded receptacle. The adapter has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a

properly grounded receptacle box. THIS ADAPTER IS

PROHIBITED IN CANADA.

CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the electrical

receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure have a certified electrician check the electrical

recaptacle.

ALWAYS USE THE EYE SHIELDS AND WHEEL

GUARDS provided withthe grinder.

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 the both sides of the gdnding

wheel. Tighten the spindle nut just enough to hold the grinding wheel firmly to the Bench Grinder. Do

not over-tighten the nut. Excessive clamping force can damage the grinding wheel. Only use the wheel

flanges 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.

THE DIAMETER OF THE GRINDING WHEELS WILL DECREASE WITH USE. Adjust the tool rests

and spark arrestorsto maintaina distance of 1/16"

from the wheel.

DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF THE BENCH GRINDER WHEN STARTING IT. Stand to one side ofthe Bench Grinderandturnit "ON".Wait at the

side for one minuteuntilthe grinder comesup to full speed. There is always a possibility that debrisfrom a damaged grindingwheel may be discharged

towards the operator.

This Bench Grinder is for indoor use only. To avoid

serious injury, do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR BENCH GRINDERS

The operation of any grinder can result in debris being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye

damage. ALWAYS Wear Safety Goggles (that comply with ANSI standard Z87.1) when operating the grinder,

Safety Goggles are available at Sears Retail Stores. Keep

your thumbs and fingers away from the grinding wheels.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

THE BENCH GRINDER WILL PRODUCE SPARKS

AND DEBRIS DURING GRINDING OPERATIONS. Be sure that there are not any flammable materials

in the vicinity. Frequently clean grinding dust from the back of the Bench Grinder.

NEVER FORCE THE WORKPIECE AGAINST A

GRINDING WHEEL, especially if the wheel is cold. Apply the workpieca slowly, allowing the grinding

wheel an opportunity to warm up. This will minimize

the chance of wheel breakage. DO NOT gdnd using the sides of the grinding wheels. DO NOT apply

coolant directly to the grinding wheel.

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.
