SAFETY

No list of safety guidelines can be
complete. Every shop environment is
different. Always consider safety

working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result
in serious personal injury, damage to
equipment or poor work results.

9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD

for the tool. Make sure your exten­sion cord is in good condition.
Conductor size should be in accor­dance with the chart below. The
amperage rating should be listed on
the motor or tool nameplate. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. Your extension
cord must also contain a ground wire
and plug pin. Always repair or
replace extension cords if they
become damaged.

Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords

wear loose clothing, gloves, neck­ties, rings, bracelets, or other jewel­ry which may get caught in moving
parts. Non-slip footwear is recom­mended. Wear protective hair cover­ing to contain long hair.

11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.

Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty. Everyday eye­glasses only have impact resistant
lenses, they are NOT safety glass­es.

12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a

vise to hold work when practical. It’s
safer than using your hand and frees
both hands to operate tool.

Before You Begin

Using Your Tool

OPERATIONS

Operating this equipment has the
potential for flying debris to cause eye
injury. Always wear safety glasses or
goggles when operating equipment.
Everyday glasses or reading glasses
only have impact resistant lenses, they
are not safety glasses. Be certain the
safety glasses you wear meet the
appropriate standards of the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI).

The Model G9911 was specifically
designed for cutting, grinding and
polishing. Do not modify and/or use
this machine for any other purpose.
Modifications or improper use of
this tool will void the warranty. If you
are confused about any aspect of
this machine, DO NOT use it until
you have answered all your ques­tions. Serious personal injury may
occur.

Inspect angle grinder before use. The
grinding wheel must be free of cracks,
chips and breaks. If there are any signs of
damage, discard the grinding wheel and
replace immediately.

Use extreme caution when operating this
tool. Always be aware of your surrounding
working area. Be sure to wear appropriate
eye protection and be sure to work at a
safe distance from others in the area.

Be sure to use the appropriate abrasive
and cutting wheels with this grinder. Use
only specified grinding wheels. The wheels
used by this grinder must be reinforced
fiber resin, with a safety linear velocity not
lower than 6,200 RPM.

Damaged wheels can break under normal
use, creating a dangerous situation that
could cause serious injury. If the integrity
of a wheel is in question, always replace
with a new one.

Do not apply excessive pressure to the
grinder while cutting, as breakage of the
wheel could occur. If the grinder begins to
stall, decrease pressure immediately. If the
wheel stops abruptly, turn the grinder off
immediately.

Always use wheel guard. The wheel guard
is an important part of the grinder. Do not
operate the grinder if the wheel guard has
been removed. Do not modify the wheel
guard or make the opening more than
180°.

Your G9911 will give you years of trouble
free service if you keep it clean and free of
built-up dust or grime. Ensure that no air
passages get blocked. If they do, blow
them out with compressed air. WARNING:
Wear safety glasses when cleaning tool
with compressed air.

Plastic parts can easily be cleaned with a
damp cloth, but never use water to clean
any electrical parts. Solvents should also
be avoided on plastic because of the pos­sibility of damage.

Regular periodic maintenance on your
G9911 will ensure its optimum perfor­mance. Make a habit of inspecting your
sander each time you use it. Check for the
following conditions and repair or replace
when necessary:

1. Loose fasteners.

2. Worn switch.

3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

4. Any other condition that could ham­per the safe operation of this
machine.

Since this tool is encased in a double insu­lated plastic cover, leave repair and ser­vice issues to a qualified service techni­cian. This includes brush replacement,
