Important Safety Rules
DANGER!! Failure to observe any of the following instructions could result in severe personal
injury to tool user and bystanders or cause damage to tool and property!
WARNING! – Read, understand and observe all instructions in this manual before
using or operating the tool for which it is written and supplied. Ensure that
anyone who is to use the tool has read and understood the instructions provided.
Always wear eye protection that complies with a recognized standard (CSA or ANSI).
Wear a mask or respirator when dust is generated.
Keep bystanders out of the work area while operating the tool.
WARNING! Always ensure that the work area is clear of any flammable materials,
liquids or gasses, because the use of this tool may create sparks.
Tighten grinding wheel lock nuts, securing bolts and all clamps and guards.
During each start-up, stand to one side of the grinder and switch it ‘On’. Let the grinder operate at
full speed for approximately one minute so that any undetected flaws or cracks will become apparent.
Keep guards in place and working properly.
Keep hands clear of grinding wheels.
Never reach behind or beneath the grinding wheels.
Unplug from power supply before adjusting or servicing. The grinding wheels continue to rotate
after the tool is switched off. Always allow wheels to stop before adjusting or servicing.
To avoid electric shock, DO NOT use in damp conditions or expose to rain.
When fitting a new grinding wheel, Always check that the stated maximum RPM meets or
exceeds that stated on the grinder. Also check the new wheel for damage, such as flaws or
cracks. If the wheel appears satisf actory, fit it to the grinder.
When a new grinding wheel has been fitted, stand to one side of the grinder and switch it ‘On’.
Let the grinder operate at full speed for approximately one minute so that any undetected flaws
or cracks will become apparent.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
DO NOT attempt to cut anything with the grinding wheel.
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet that has been properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug
or modify it in any way. Do not use adaptor plugs. If in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded, consult a qualified electrician.
Do not use the tool when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair tied back.
Ensure the power switch is off prior to plugging in the tool.
WARNING! Replace cracked grinding wheels immediately.
Do not overtighten spindle nuts.
Adjust tool rests whenever necessary to maintain a distance of 1/8” (3.2 mm) from the
grinding wheel.
Service on these tools should only be performed by an authorized, qualified technician.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before You Start - Safety
• Always wear eye protection that complies with a recognized standard (for example: ANSI Z87.1)
- (CSA or ANSI).
• Wear a mask or respirator when dust is generated.
•
Keep bystanders out of the work area while operating the tool.
WARNING! Always ensure that the work area is clear of any flammable
materials, liquids or gasses, because the use of this tool may create sparks.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair tied back.
WARNING! Replace cracked grinding wheels immediately.
Do not overtighten spindle nuts.
Adjust tool rests whenever necessary to maintain a distance of 1/8” (3.2 mm) from the
grinding wheel.
NEVER grind on the side of the wheel. Grind on the face of the wheel only.
NEVER apply pressure to the workpiece when the grinding wheel is cold. Allow the wheel to
warm up by applying the workpiece gradually.
NEVER use the grinder without the wheel guards. Keep thumbs and fingers away from the wheel.
Before You Start – Electrical
In the event of a malfunction or short circuit, grounding provides the path of least resistance for
electrical current, and reduces the risk of electric shock for the operator. 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 outlet 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 outlet, have the proper outlet installed by an
electrician.

IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment ground conductor can result in increased risk of electric
shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT
connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the
grounding instructions, or if you are not sure if the tool is properly grounded.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated. The original
tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated (Figure 2).
Use of Extension Cords
USE ONLY THREE-WIRED EXTENSION CORDS that have 3-pronged plugs and 3-holed outlets that
accept the tool’s plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Do not use damaged extension
cords. Always replace a damaged extension cord.
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.The
table below shows the correct size to use according to the cord length and the amperage draw of the tool
(specified on the nameplate). When in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord. (AWG = American Wire Gauge).
Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords (AWG)
(when using 120 volts only)
Ampere Rating Total Length of Cord in Feet (meters)

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit should not be less than a #12 gauge wire,
and should be protected with a 15 A time-lag fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line,
ensure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped
on the motor’s nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor, and this damage is not
covered by warranty.
