cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:

sLead from lead-based paints.

sCrystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other

masonry products.

sArsenic 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 well­ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are spe­cially designed to filter out microscopic particles

2. READ the entire Owner’s Manual. LEARN how to

use the tool for its intended applications.

3. 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

for which the tool was intended.

9. 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.

10. CHILDPROOF THE WORKSHOP AREA by remov­ing switch keys, unplugging tools from the electrical
recaptacles, and using padlocks.

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

12. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TOOL FROM THE ELEC-
TRICAL RECEPTACLE when making adjustments,
changing parts or performing any maintenance.

13. KEEP PROTECTIVE GUARDS IN PLACE AND IN
WORKING ORDER.

14. AV OI D ACCID EN TAL S TAR TI NG. Make sure that

22. EACH AND EVERY TIME, CHECK FOR DAMAGED
PARTS PRIOR TO USING THE TOOL.Carefully

check all guards to see that they operate properly,
are not damaged, and perform their intended func­tions. Check for alignment, binding or breaking of
moving parts. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be immediately repaired or replaced.

23. CHILDPROOF THE WORKSHOP AREA by remov­ing switch keys, unplugging tools from the electrical
receptacles, and using padlocks.

24. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL IF UNDER THE INFLU-
ENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.

25. SECURE ALL WORK. Use clamps or jigs to secure
the workpiece. This is safer than attempting to hold
the workpiece with your hands.

26. STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING,

AND USE COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING
APOWERTOOL.DONOTUSEATOOLWHILE
TIRED OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS,
ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION. A moment of in-

attention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.

27. ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK TO PREVENT

INHALING DANGEROUS DUST OR AIRBORNE
PARTICLES, including wood dust, crystalline silica

dust and asbestos dust. Direct particles away from
face and body. Always operate tool in well venti­lated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use
dust collection system wherever possible. Exposure
to the dust may cause serious and permanent res­piratory or other injury, including silicosis (a serious
lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing
the dust, and avoid prolonged contact with dust.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay
on your skin may promote absorption of harmful
material. Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA
approved respiratory protection appropriate for the
dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap
and water.

28. 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 at right 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 resulting 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 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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE
TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC
SHOCK.

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAK­DOWN, 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.

DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not
fit the electrical receptacle, have the proper electrical
receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

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.

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.

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 properly grounded
electrical 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
receptacle.

WARNING

This Bench Grinder is for indoor use only. To avoid
serious injury, do not expose to rain or use in damp
locations.
