[. . . ] "READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS" Failure to follow the safety rules listed below and other basic safety precautions may result in serious personal injury. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area. DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER SOURCE When not in use, before servicing, when changing blades, bits, cutters, etc. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE In working order, and in proper adjustment and alignment. [. . . ] Some examples of these chemicals are: · lead from lead-based paints , · Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and · arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. Your unit is for use on 120 volts; it has a plug that looks like the one in Figure 1. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. This grinder is designed to use a 3450 RPM motor. Before connecting the motor cord to power source, make certain the switch is in the "OFF" position and be sure the electric current is of the same characteristics as stamped on the grinder nameplate. This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. Plug power cord into a 110-120V properly grounded type outlet protected by a 15-amp dual element time delay fuse or circuit breaker. If you are not sure that your outlet, as pictured in Fig. 1 , is properly grounded; have it checked by a qualified electrician. To avoid electric shock, do not touch the DANGER metal prongs on the plug when installing or removing the plug to or from the outlet. This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and grounding type plug, approved by Underwriters Laboratories and the Canadian Standards Association. The ground conductor has a green jacket and is attached to the tool housing at one end and to the ground prong in the attachment plug at the other end. If the outlet you are planning to use for this power tool is of the two-prong type, DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER. have a qualified electrician replace the TWO-prong outlet with a properly grounded THREE-prong outlet. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipmentconductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipmentgrounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. [. . . ] How to true and dress the wheels IMPORTANT: Prior to changing a wheel, ensure the grinder is turned off and the power plug is removed from the socket. Loosen and remove the 3 bolts (1) on the wheel guard (2), as shown in figure 9. To prevent wheel rotation, place a wood wedge (3) between the grinding wheel and the tool rest (Figure 10). Remove the locking nut (4) (see note below for correct direction of rotation), outer flange (5) and the wheel (6). [. . . ]
