1. Always use proper guard with grinding wheel. A guard protects operator from

broken wheel fragments.

2. Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the

tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories running over rated speed can fly

apart and cause injury.

3. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an opera-

tion where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact

with a live wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool live and shock the operator.

4. Keep hands away from all cutting edges and moving parts.

5. Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable

or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.

6. WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or

other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

 lead from lead-based paint

 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 spe-

cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Wheel Instructions

7. Use only the edge (not the sides) of the wheel. Do not allow the wheel to twist

or bind.

8. Keep hands and body away from the moving parts. Do not wear loose clothing

when using these tools.

9. Store accessories with care. Do not drop them or subject them to excessive heat,

cold, or humidity.

10. Make sure all wheel flanges and other mounting hardware are in good

condition and are always used properly. Defective or missing parts may damage

the wheels and other accessories. Always use mounting flanges supplied with the

tool.

11. Using a damaged wheel is very hazardous. After installing a new wheel, leave

the tool unplugged and rotate the wheel by hand to see if it is uneven, warped, or

cracked. If so, discard the wheel and replace it with a new one. Do not use a wheel

that has been dropped; impact may result in breakage.

12. Before installing a wheel, always inspect it for cracks. Visually check resinoid

and rubber-bonded wheels for cracks.

13. Before grinding, test the wheel by running the wheel at the no load RPM for

one minute.

14. Do not force the wheel onto the tool or alter the arbor hole of the wheel. Do

not use a wheel that fits too loosely on the arbor. If the wheel does not fit the arbor,

get one that does.

Machine Instructions

15. Start grinding only after the motor has reached full speed.

16. Release switch immediately if the wheel stops rotating or if the motor

sounds like it is straining.

17. Keep flammable and fragile objects away from this tool. Do not allow sparks

to contact operator's hands, face, or feet.
