WARNING:
Before connecting your grinder to power supply, always
check to be sure switch is not in lock-on position. Failure
to do so could result in accidental starting of your grinder
resulting in possible serious injury.
GUARD LOCATION
The guard on your grinder has been correctly installed at the
factory. Never use your grinder without the guard cor-
rectly in place. Figure 4 shows both the correct and incor-
rect location of the guard.
WARNING:
Never place the guard so that it is on front of the grinder.
This could result in serious injury because sparks and
loose particles thrown from the grinding wheel would be
directed toward the operator. Always place the guard in
the correct location as shown in figure 4.

ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
■ Always wear safety glasses and keep guard in place
when grinding.
■ Hot metal sparks from metal grinding can cause a fire.
Avoid spark contact with flammable materials such as
saw dust, or clothing.
■ Grinding wheels must be free of fissures and cracks.
Fissures and cracks can cause a grinding wheel to
shatter, resulting in possible serious injury.
Thoroughly inspect a new grinding wheel before it is
installed on the grinder:
1. Use a wooden hammer for the inspection.
2. Using the hammer, lightly tap all around the wheel,
carefully listening to the resulting sounds.
3. Any places with fissures or cracks will result in a
different sound.
Do not use a wheel containing fissures or cracks.
When installing a new grinding wheel, a no load
revolution test of approximately 5 minutes must be
carried out with the grinding wheel facing a safe
direction, i.e. away from people or objects.
OPERATION
DANGER:
Never attach a wood cutting or carving blade of any type
to this angle grinder. It is only designed for grinding metal.
Use for any other purpose is not recommended and
creates a hazard which will result in serious injury.
