6 . OPERATOR INFORMATION

Operator should know How to Use the Grinder

• Only use the grinder for its intended purpose. Do not use it for a job it was not designed for. Grinding parts

other than tungsten will severely decrease wheel and equipment life.

• Unplug the grinder when changing accessories, such as collets, wheel, or other replacement parts.

• Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the grinder is in the off position before plugging it in.

• Do not force the grinder. It will work most efficiently at the rate for which it was designed. Consult the "

Recommended Minimum Cutting and Grinding Time for New Electrodes" sticker on the grinder to determine

optimum rate of speed.

• Use recommended accessories. Use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury of persons or accelerated

wear on the grinder.

• Handle the tungsten and grinder correctly. Consult grinder operation procedures in this manual and handle

tungsten with pin vise whenever possible to protect hands from possible injury.

• Feed tungsten into grinding wheel against the direction of rotation of the wheel.

• Turn the wheel off if it jams. A wheel jams when it digs too deeply into the tungsten (the motor force keeps it

stuck in the tungsten).

• Never leave the grinder unattended. Turn the grinder off first and do not leave until it comes to a complete

stop.

• Never stand or lean on the grinder. Serious injury could occur if the grinder is tipped or if the cutting tool is

unintentionally contacted.

• Keep hands away from moving parts and cutting surfaces.

Operator should Be prepared for the Job:

• Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing gloves, neckties, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get

caught in moving parts of the machine.

• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

• Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.

• Wear safety glasses. Prescription glasses have only impact resistant lenses.

• Wear face mask or dust mask.

• Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools when tired, intoxicated, or when taking medications that

cause drowsiness.
