DESCRIPTION

Unique design with 2 fixed work light to illuminate your work area; Dry double end grinding wheels
can give rapid sharpening to various types of blades. Powerful motor quickly brings the coarse
and fine grinding wheels to their required operating speed.

WARNING

serious personal injury, assemble all parts to your bench grinder before connecting it to power
supply. The bench grinder should never be connected to power supply when you are assembling
parts, making adjustments, installing or removing grinding wheels, cleaning, or when not in use.

To prevent accidental starting or electrical shock that could cause possible

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

To operate this tool, read this instruction manual and all the labels affixed to the bench grinder carefully
before using. Keep this manual available for future reference. Safety is a combination of common sense,
staying alert and knowing how your bench grinder works.

1. WORK AREA

Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.Do not use
the tool in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.Keep bystanders, visitors, and children
away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet
is properly grounded. If the tool electrically malfunctions or breaks down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the user. Avoid contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your
body is grounded.Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep
the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W'. These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

3. PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use the tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury Dress properly. Do
not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Wear protective hair netting to contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended
when working outdoors.
Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your
finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached
to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

4. TOOL USE AND CARE

Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application.Do not use the tool if the switch does
not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.Check for misalignment or jamming of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that
may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.

5. SERVICE

Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury. When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.Some
dust created by power grinding contains chemicals that may cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: Lead from lead-based paint Crystalline
silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area, use
approved safety equipment, and use dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR THE BENCH GRINDER

Always use the eye shields, spark arrestors and wear safety goggles with side shields.Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury. Replace
a cracked grinding wheel immediately. Handle the grinding wheels carefully. When replacing, do not
tighten the spindle nut too tightly, the strain can damage the wheel. The wheel diameter decreases
with use. Adjust the tool rests whenever necessary to maintain a distance of 1/8" or less from the
grinding surface. Adjust the spark arrestors to maintain a 1/16" distance or less from the wheel's surface.
Pieces of stone may be thrown off the rotating wheel when first starting the grinder. Always stand to
one side of the grinder wheel when turning it on, and wait at the side until the wheel is at full speed.
Make sure there is no flammable material near the exhaust chutes. The chute will channel out sparks
and debris.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
fingers away from the wheel. Do not try to cut anything with the grinding wheel. When the wheel is
worn out of round, use a wheel dressing tool to resurface it.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE
RECEPTACLE.

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 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
a live terminal

EXTENSION CORDS

Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire
extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching receptacle which will accept
the machine's plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current of the machine. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power
and overheating.The table , shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord length. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
