SAFETY SHIELD AND SPARK DEFLECTOR
The safety shields and spark deflectors are adjustable for
operator convenience. Operating the grinder without these
features attached could result in serious injury. Do not grind
with the safety shield raised; always wear safety glasses for
personal protection.
WORK REST
The work rests are independently adjustable to com-
pensate for wheel wear. Before grinding, make certain
the work rests are adjusted properly. Generally the object
being ground is done slightly above center of the grinding
wheel.
Adjust the distance between the wheel and the work rest
to maintain 1/16 in. or less separation as the diameter of
the wheel decreases with use.
WORKLIGHT
Your BGH615 Bench Grinder comes equipped with a per-
manently mounted worklight that lights the work area for
safer, more accurate grinding and sharpening. (Requires a
40 watt bulb – not included.)
