the machine and its safety features must be
tested to ensure correct operation. If you discover
a problem with the operation of the machine or
its safety components, do not operate it further
until you have resolved the problem.
Refer to Troubleshooting on Page 34 for
solutions to common problems that may occur
with surface grinders. If you need additional
help, contact our Technical Support at
