grinding, make certain the work rests are adjusted properly. Generally, the object being ground is done
slightly above the center of the grinding wheel.

this sharpening process on both cutting ends of the blade. After sharpening, balance the blade by
removing additional material.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
Grounding instructions
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least
resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
that has 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.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
licensed electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The
conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure if the tool is properly grounded.
USE ONLY THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS that have 3-pronged plugs and outlets that accept the
tool's plug as shown in Fig. A. Repair or replace a damaged or worn
cord immediately.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is
properly grounded. If you are not sure if it is, have a licensed
electrician check the outlet.
WARNING: This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
