RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
12. PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
mask if operation is dusty.
1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read owner's
manual carefully. Safe operation of this power
tool requires that you read and understand this
owner's manual and all labels affixed to the tool.
Learn its applications and limitations as well as
the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
13. PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing
protection during extended periods of operation.
14. DON'T ABUSE THE CORD. Never carry the
tool by its cord or yank the cord to disconnect it
from the receptacle. Keep the cord from heat, oil
and sharp edges.
2. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces.
For example: Pipes, radiators, ranges,
refrigerator enclosures.
15. SECURE THE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to
hold the work when practical. It's safer than using
your hand and it frees both hands to operate the
tool.
3. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in good working
order.
16. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Do not use on a ladder or
unstable support.
4. KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered
work areas and work benches invite accidents.
17. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
5. DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS.
Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations
or expose them to rain. Keep the work area well
lit.
18. DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before
servicing, or when changing attachments, blades,
bits, cutters, etc., all tools should be disconnected
from power supply.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY
FROM POWER TOOLS. Do not let visitors
contact tool or extension cord. All visitors should
wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance
from work area.
19. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
Get in the habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool
before turning it on.
7. STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use tools
should be stored in a dry and high or locked-up
place — out of the reach of children.
20. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Don't carry
plugged-in tools with finger on switch. Be sure
the switch is off when plugging in.
8. DON'T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
21. MAKE SURE YOUR EXTENSION CORD IS IN
GOOD CONDITION. 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. A wire gage size
(A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an
extension cord 50 feet or less in length. A cord
exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the
gage number, the heavier the cord.
9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force a small tool
or attachment to do the job of a heavy duty tool.
Don't use the tool for a purpose not intended —
for example — A circular saw should never be
used for cutting tree limbs or logs.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose
clothing, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other
jewelry that can get caught in the tool's moving
parts and cause personal injury. Rubber gloves
and nonskid footwear are recommended when
working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering
to contain long hair and keep it from being drawn
into air vents or getting caught in rotating parts.
22. OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When
tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords
suitable for use outdoors. Outdoor approved
cords are marked with the suffix W-A, for
example - SJTW-A or SJOW-A.
11. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday
eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses;
they are NOT safety glasses.

OPERATION
WARNING:
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.
I Always wear safety glasses and keep guard in place
when grinding.
I Hot metal sparks from metal grinding can cause a fire.
Avoid spark contact with flammable materials such as
saw dust, or clothing.
I 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.

Secure small workpieces in a vise or clamp to a workbench.
Never use your grinder with the guard removed.
SWITCH BUTTON
Fig. 5
Never use your grinder without wearing eye protection.
The key to efficient operation begins by controlling the
pressure and surface contact between the grinding wheel
and workpiece. Flat surfaces are ground at an acute angle,
normally between 5 to 15 degrees.
Formaximumcontrol, holdthegrinderinfrontandawayfrom
you with both hands, keeping the grinding wheel clear of the
workpiece. Start your grinder and let the motor and grinding
wheel build up to full speed. Gradually lower grinder until the
grinding wheel contacts the workpiece.
5° TO 15°
For best results keep the grinder tilted at an angle from 5 to
15 degrees and continuously moving at a steady, consistent
pace. Move the grinder back and forth or up and down over
the work area. Keep the grinder moving so that an excessive
amount of material is not removed from one area. If the
grinder is held in one spot too long, it will gouge and cut
grooves in the workpiece. If the grinder is held at too sharp
an angle, it will also gouge the workpiece because of
concentration of pressure on a small area.

is adequate for most grinding jobs. Use light pressure when
grinding jagged edges or loose bolts where there is the
potential for the grinder to snag on the metal edge.
Lift the grinder away from the workpiece before turning your
grinder off.
