Safety Instructions For Power Tools  
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE.  
Keep tools sharp and clean for  
best and safest performance.  
Follow instructions for lubricating  
and changing accessories.  
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD  
for the tool. Make sure your exten-  
sion cord is in good condition.  
Conductor size should be in accor-  
dance 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.  
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before ser-  
vicing and changing accessories,  
such as blades, bits, cutters, and  
the like.  
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNIN-  
TENTIONAL STARTING. Make  
sure switch is in off position before  
plugging in.  
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCES-  
SORIES. Consult the owner’s  
manual for recommended acces-  
sories. The use of improper acces-  
sories may cause risk of injury.

18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS.  
Before further use of the tool, a  
guard or other part that is dam-  
aged should be carefully checked  
to determine that it will operate  
properly and perform its intended  
function. Check for alignment of  
moving parts, binding of moving  
parts, breakage of parts, mount-  
ing, and any other conditions that  
may affect its operation. A guard or  
other part that is damaged should  
be properly repaired or replaced.

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO  
NOT wear loose clothing, gloves,  
neckties, rings, bracelets, or other  
jewelry which may get caught in  
moving parts. Non-slip footwear is  
recommended. Wear protective hair  
covering to contain long hair.  
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.  
Also use face or dust mask if cutting  
operation is dusty. Everyday eye-  
glasses only have impact resistant  
lenses, they are NOT safety glass-  
es.  
No list of safety guidelines can be  
complete. Every shop environment  
is different. Always consider safety  
first, as it applies to your individual  
working conditions. Use this and  
other machinery with caution and  
respect. Failure to do so could result  
in serious personal injury, damage  
to equipment or poor work results.  
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a  
vise to hold work when practical. It’s  
safer than using your hand and frees  
both hands to operate tool.  
13. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep prop-  
er footing and balance at all times.

The Model G5968/9 Angle Grinder is the  
perfect grinder for detailed grinding tasks  
in hard to reach places. Cleaning up  
welds, making bevels, and cutting thin  
material are just some of the ways the  
angle grinder can be used. When fitted  
with attachments, sanding, rust removal,  
and polishing metal and other materials  
are a few of the tasks that can be accom-  
plished.  
To operate this, or any power tool,  
safely and efficiently, it is essential to  
become as familiar with its character-  
istics as possible. The time you invest  
before you begin to use your Model  
G5968/9 Angle Grinder will be time well  
spent. DO NOT operate this equipment  
until you are completely familiar with

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS  
Selecting Abrasive  
Using the Grinder  
The best results from your Model G5968/9  
Angle Grinder will be accomplished using  
the proper grit abrasive. As a rule, you will  
want to start with a more coarse grinding or  
sanding grit for removing large defects or  
rough spots, then work through finer grits  
until you achieve the smoothness and  
quality you desire.  
Inspect grinding disc for flaws. Never  
use a chipped or broken disc.  
Use only grinding discs made for this  
grinder. Never use a disc that requires  
modifications to the grinder.  
Never operate grinder without the  
guard in place.  
Pay attention to the direction the sparks  
are going while grinding. Flamable  
material must be kept at a safe dis-  
tance while grinding.  
With the disc you have determined to be  
sufficient for the job, and having a firm grip  
on the grinder, squeeze the trigger and  
grind the work evenly. Always keep the  
grinder moving to prevent gouge marks. If  
you stay in one place too long, then the  
grinder will produce a depression in the  
work that will compromise your finish.  
Make sure workpiece is secure. Use a  
vice or clamps when working with  
smaller workpieces.  
Always use two hands to hold the  
grinder.  
Experiment in a small corner or area that is  
not very noticeable on your project. Ideally,  
you want to achieve the balance of remov-  
ing defects without damaging your work.  
Never apply excessive force while  
grinding. Your grinder will last longer if  
you let “it” do the work. Using slight  
pressure barely greater than the weight  
of the equipment is ideal because you  
can still maintain control.  
Installing Abrasive Disc or  
Attachments  
Make sure the grinder is disconnected  
from the power source and remove the  
spanner nut. Place the grinding disc or  
attachment over the arbor and secure it  
with the spanner nut. Using the wrenches  
provided, hold the arbor with the wrench  
and tighten the spanner nut with the span-  
ner wrench. To remove abrasive discs, or  
attachments, follow the steps just per-  
formed. Note—Model G5968 has a spindle  
lock button so a wrench is not necessary  
on the arbor. Just push the spindle lock  
button on the top of the grinder to lock the  
spindle and use the spanner wrench to  
tighten or loosen the spanner nut.  
For added control and comfort, a lock-  
on trigger switch is installed. The lock-  
on trigger switch is easy to operate—  
simply squeeze the trigger and push in  
the locking pin. To release the trigger,  
press the trigger in, then release to dis-  
engage the trigger lock.

MAINTENANCE  
General  
Brushes  
Regular periodic maintenance on your  
Model G5968/9 Angle Grinder will ensure  
its optimum performance. Make a habit of  
inspecting your grinder each time you use  
it. Check for the following conditions and  
repair or replace when necessary:  
The brushes need to be checked periodi-  
cally to ensure optimum performance. If  
the brushes need to be replaced, simply  
unscrew the plastic cap on both sides of  
the grinder back by the trigger. Pull out  
and inspect the brushes. Either re-install  
or replace the brushes at this time.  
Loose fasteners.  
Worn switch.  
Worn or damaged cords and plugs.  
Any other condition that could hamper  
the safe operation of this equipment.  
Repair and Service  
All quality tools will eventually wear from  
normal use. Since the grinder is encased  
in a double insulated plastic cover, leave  
repair and service issues to a qualified ser-  
vice technician.  
Keeping Tool Clean  
The Model G5968/9 Angle Grinder will  
give you years of trouble free service if you  
keep it clean and free of built-up dust or  
grime. Ensure that no air passages get  
blocked. If they do, blow them out with  
compressed air.
