you are unsure about the wiring codes in your
area, consult a qualified electrician to reduce
the risk of electrocution or fire.

Extension Cords
AC/DC power adapters do not need to be con-
nected to a grounded circuit. However, there are
a number of safety issues that all users should
be aware of, especially when using an extension
cord.
When it is necessary to use an extension cord, use
the following guidelines:
•
•
•
Use cords rated for standard service.
Use cords with 14 gauge wire or bigger.
Do not use cords in need of repair.
•
DO NOT use the AC/DC power adapter in
damp or wet conditions, as the risk of elec-
tric shock is greatly increased.
•
Never place the AC/DC power adapter on
or near flammable items or substances, or
items that could be damaged by excessive
heat.
•
If working outside, always situate the AC/
DC power adapter in a cool, dry, shaded
area whenever possible. The chance of the
AC/DC power adapter overheating is greatly
increased if placed in direct sunlight.

NOTICE
Standard Safety Instructions
1. READ THROUGH ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE STARTING MACHINERY. Machinery presents seri-
ous injury hazards to untrained users.
2. ALWAYS USE ANSI APPROVED SAFETY GLASSES WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses–they are NOT safety glasses!
3. ALWAYS WEAR A NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY THAT
PRODUCES DUST. Wood dust is a carcinogen and can cause cancer and severe respiratory ill-
nesses.
4. ALWAYS USE HEARING PROTECTION WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Machinery noise can
cause permanent hearing damage.
5. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, or jewelry which
may get caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and wear non-slip
footwear.
6. NEVER OPERATE MACHINERY WHEN TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR
ALCOHOL. Be mentally alert at all times when running machinery.
7. ONLY ALLOW TRAINED AND PROPERLY SUPERVISED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE MACHIN-
ERY. Make sure operation instructions are safe and clearly understood.
8. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. Keep all children and visitors a safe distance from the work
area.
9. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF. Use padlocks, master switches, and remove start switch keys.

10. NEVER LEAVE WHEN MACHINE IS RUNNING. Turn power OFF and allow all moving parts to come
to a complete stop before leaving machine unattended.
11. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. DO NOT use machinery in damp, wet locations,
or where any flammable or noxious fumes may exist.
12. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT. Clutter and dark shadows may cause accidents.
13. USE A GROUNDED EXTENSION CORD RATED FOR THE MACHINE AMPERAGE. Undersized
cords overheat and lose power. Replace extension cords if they become damaged. DO NOT use
extension cords with 220V machinery.
14. ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING MACHINERY. Make sure
switch is in OFF position before reconnecting.
15. MAINTAIN MACHINERY WITH CARE. Keep blades sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
16. MAKE SURE GUARDS ARE IN PLACE AND WORK CORRECTLY BEFORE USING
MACHINERY.
17. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Make a habit of checking for keys and adjusting
wrenches before turning machinery ON.
18. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS BEFORE USING MACHINERY. Check for binding and alignment
of parts, broken parts, part mounting, loose bolts, and any other conditions that may affect machine
operation. Repair or replace damaged parts.
19. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Refer to the instruction manual for recommended accesso-
ries. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.
20. DO NOT FORCE MACHINERY. Work at the speed for which the machine or accessory was
designed.
21. SECURE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to hold the workpiece when practical. A secured
workpiece protects your hands and frees both hands to operate the machine.
22. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
23. MANY MACHINES WILL EJECT THE WORKPIECE TOWARD THE OPERATOR. Know and avoid
conditions that cause the workpiece to "kickback."
24. ALWAYS LOCK MOBILE BASES (IF USED) BEFORE OPERATING MACHINERY.
25. BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN DUST MAY BE HAZARDOUS to the respiratory systems of people and
animals, especially fine dust. Make sure you know the hazards associated with the type of dust you
will be exposed to and always wear a respirator approved for that type of dust.

OPERATIONS
General
The Model D3589 will perform many types of operations
that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these
operations can be dangerous if performed incorrectly.
The instructions in this section are written with the under-
standing that the operator has the necessary knowledge
and skills to operate this machine. If at any time you
are experiencing difficulties performing any operation,
stop using the tool!
READ and understand this entire instruc-
tion manual before using this machine.
Serious personal injury may occur if
safety and operational information is not
understood and followed. DO NOT risk
your safety by not reading!
If you are an inexperienced operator, we strongly recom-
mend that you read books, trade articles, or seek training
from an experienced person before performing any unfa-
miliar operations. Above all, your safety should come
first!
Changing Accessories
Changing mini grinder accessories is easy. We recommend
that accessories such as polishing wheels, cutting wheels
and sanding drums/sleeves are installed before the acces-
sory is installed on the mini grinder.
Always wear safety glasses when oper-
ating the mini grinder set. Failure to
comply may result in serious personal
injury.
To change an accessory, do these steps:
1. UNPLUG THE MINI GRINDER!

Accessory Use
The mini grinder set comes with eight different types of
accessories.
Certain dusts can cause eye damage,
lung damage and respiratory illnesses.
Always protect yourself by wearing
ANSI approved safety glasses and a
NIOSH approved respirator.
•
Use the grinding stone set when shaping and smooth-
ing materials such as wood or plastics.
•
Use the sanding sleeve set when sanding rough spots
on wood. Using the sanding sleeve set on plastics may
cause the sleeve to clog with particulate matter, and
is not recommended.
•
Use the brush set to strip paint, paper, or other
coatings from plastic, metal, or wood. Avoid using
the metal brushes on soft woods or plastics, as the
brushes may damage those materials.
•
•
Use the cutting wheel set for fine cutting of soft wood
or plastics.
Use the polishing wheel set for buffing and polishing
hard, smooth surfaces such as glass or metal. Use of a
buffing compound is also recommended for maximum
effectiveness.
DO NOT use the AC/DC power adapter
in damp or wet conditions, as the
chance of electrical shock or short
circuit is greatly increased. Failure to
heed this warning could result in seri-
ous injury or death!
•
•
•
Use the engraving bit to engrave hard and soft sur-
faces, such as wood, metal or plastics.
Use the drill bits to drill holes in wood and soft plas-
tics.
Use the diamond polisher set for cutting, engraving
and shaping hard materials such as glass, metal and
ceramics.
