Avoid accidental starting. Make sure switch is in “OFF” position before connecting to power source.
WARNING:
Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power. Do not apply power before you ensure that
grounds are connected. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Follow the National Electrical Code
(NEC) and local codes for the safe installation of this equipment.
WARNING:
Always use safety glasses with side shields (or full face shield) when operating grinder. Do not use ordinary
eyeglasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
WARNING:
Unsuitable accessories or attachments added to this machine can create hazards. Baldor accessories are
specifically designed to be used with this grinder-buffer. Use accessories or attachments only in the proper
intended manner. Accessories or attachments obtained from another source may cause hazards. Consult the
manufacturer before use.
WARNING:
To prevent injury, avoid contact with the wire wheel or belt or disc. The abrasive belt when running is an
aggressive cutting tool. Extra care should be exercised when using coarse grit belts because of their rapid
cutting action. Severe burns or cuts may result from contact.
WARNING:
Keep guards in place and in working order. Guards are design to prevent injury. Never operate this equipment
if a guard is damaged, missing or improperly installed.
WARNING:
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches from this product after use. Check to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from grinder-buffer before turning it on. Projectiles can cause severe injury to
yourself or others.
WARNING:
Keep work area clean and well lighted. Clutter and poor lighting invites accidents.
WARNING:
Don’t use in dangerous environment. Don’t use grinder-buffers in damp or wet locations, or expose them to
rain. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Follow the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local
codes for the safe installation of this equipment.
WARNING:
Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry to get caught in moving parts. Nonslip
footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
WARNING:
Secure work. Use clamps to secure the work piece when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and it
keeps hands away from wheel or belt.
WARNING:
Check for damaged parts. Before further use, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to assure that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
WARNING:
When starting a grinder for the first time, or after installing a replacement belt or wire wheel, it is most
important that the operator stand aside for at least one minute of rotation at full speed. This is the correct
practice since a wire wheel can disintegrate if it received damage during shipping or handling.
WARNING:
Use proper grounded extension cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure it is rated for the voltage and current rating of your product. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Use the correct wire size depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the AWG
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
WARNING:
Always wear a dust mask to prevent dust inhalation when adequate ventilation or extraction is not available.
WARNING:
Dust created during grinding, buffing, sawing, power sanding, drilling, and other activities may contain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
WARNING:
Keep children and visitors away. Remove starter keys turn off master switches. Padlock equipment or work
area when not in use.
WARNING:
Don’t over reach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. A rotating wheel can catch an article of
clothing and cause personnel injury.
WARNING:
Never leave grinder-buffer running unattended. Always turn power off after use.
Caution:
Don’t force grinder-buffer. It will do the job better and safer at the feed rate for which it was designed.
Caution:
Use right tool. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
Caution:
Maintain grinder-buffer with care. Keep grinder-buffer clean for best and safest performance.
