GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:
Improper connection of equipment grounding con-
ductor can result in the risk of electrical shock. Equipment should
be grounded while in use to protect operator from electrical shock.
• Check with a qualified electrician if grounding instructions are
not understood or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
• This grinder is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord
rated at 300V and a 3-prong, grounding type plug (See Figure
2) for your protection against shock hazards.
• Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a properly
installed and grounded 3- prong grounding-type receptacle
(See Figure 2).

• Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING:
Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug
when installing or removing from outlet.
• Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Do not modify plug provided. If it will not fit in out-
let, have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• Inspect tool cords periodically, and, if damaged, have them
repaired by an authorized service facility.
• Green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the
grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow)
wire to a live terminal.
• Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed
in accordance with National Electric Code and local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING:
This work should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
• A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (See
Figure 3) is available for connecting plugs to a two pole outlet
if it is properly grounded.

• Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter unless
permitted by local and national codes and ordinances.
• (A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is not permitted in
Canada.) Where permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal on
the side of the adapter must be securely connected to a per-
manent electrical ground such as a properly grounded water
pipe, a properly grounded outlet box or a properly grounded
wire system.

• Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes are not
properly grounded. To ensure a proper ground, the grounding
means must be tested by a qualified electrician.

EXTENSION CORDS

• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in voltage
and loss of power.
• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to carry
the current and maintain adequate voltage.
• Running the unit on voltages which are not within ±10% of the
specified voltage may cause overheating and motor burn-out.
• Use the table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.)
extension cord.
• Use only 3-wire extenison cords having 3-prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool plug.
• If the extension cord is worn, cut or damaged in any way,
replace it immediately.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING:
All electrical connections must be performed by a
qualified electrician. Make sure tool is off and disconnected from
power source while motor is mounted, connected, reconnected or
anytime wiring is inspected.
Motor is assembled with approved, 3-conductor cord to be used at
120 volts. Motor is prewired at the factory for 120 volts.
OPERATION
WARNING:
Always wear safety glasses complying with United
States ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package) before commencing power
tool operation.
Refer to Figure 4, page 5 for complete description of the operation
on control panel.
• To turn grinder ON, press the ON button (I), then select high or
low speed (H or L).
• Press the Up or Down buttons ( or ) to increase or reduce
the speed.
• Digital display will flash for approximately 5 seconds when the
High, Low, Up or Down buttons (H, L,  or ) are pressed . This
indicates that the speed is being adjusted.
• The digital display will also flash when any of the High, Low, Up
or Down buttons are pressed and the speed cannot be
changed. For example, pressing the High or Up button when
the grinder is running at highest RPM.
• Keep a steady, moderate pressure on the work and keep it
moving at an even pace for smooth grinding.
• Pressing too hard overheats the motor and prematurely wears
down the grinding wheels.
