SAFETY For Your Own Safety Read Instruction Manual Before Operating This Equipment The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are intended to convey the level of importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures.
Safety Instructions For Power Tools 9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD for the tool. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accordance with the chart below. The amperage rating should be listed on the motor or tool nameplate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.

OPERATION About Your New Grinder The Grizzly Model H3117 is a variable speed, rotary-style tool capable of speeds from 0-30,000 RPM. It is capable of a wide range of grinding, cutting, polishing, drilling, engraving, and cut-off operations. Please take the time to become familiar with this instruction manual. The information contained will allow you to get the maximum enjoyment and use from your new tool. Installing Bits The Model H3117 can use most bits and cutters that have a 1⁄8" diameter shaft.
Using The Grinder Failure to wear safety glasses while operating the grinder could cause serious personal eye injury. The Model H3117 is best suited for high RPM, low torque applications. Most operations performed with the grinder will perform best at the higher RPM settings; however, slower RPM settings are ideal when working with plastics that melt easily. Always test the bit and RPM combination on a scrap piece of material similar to the workpiece.
MAINTENANCE Unplug the grinder from the power source before performing any maintenance! Carbon Brushes The Model H3117 has a brush-type electric motor. Periodically remove and inspect the 2 carbon brushes under the Brush Covers. New brushes have a grey-copper color. If the brushes are pitted, cracked, or are black colored, replace them. Cleaning The Grinder While wearing safety glasses, periodically clean the grinder with compressed air. DO NOT use flammable products to clean the grinder.
