GUIDELINES FOR
EXTENSION CORDS
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure
it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to
indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
Be sure your extension cord is properly sized, and
in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person
before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
23. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL IF UNDER THE INFLU-ENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.
24. SECURE ALL WORK. When it is 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 GOODCONDITION. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw.
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 resulting in a loss of power and
overheating.

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.
afety Goggles are available at Sears Retail Stores.

Keep your thumbs and fingers away from the grinding
heels.
w
1. ALWAYS USE THE EYE SHIELDS AND WHEELGUARDS 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.
blotter or label on both sides of the grinding 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.
DO NOT remove the

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
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

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
