WORK REST
The work rests are independently adjustable to compensate
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. (1.6 mm) or less separation as the diameter
of the wheel decreases with use.
WHEEL DRESSING TOOL
A buildup of metals, dirt, rust, etc. will become embedded in
the grinding wheel as it wears. Using the Wheel Dressing
Tool to clean the wheel of these ground-in particles will help
improve the grinder's performance.
AUTO-ON WORKLIGHT
Your Bench Grinder
permanently mounted worklight that automatically lights the
work area for safer, more accurate grinding and sharpening.
COOLANT TRAY
When grinding, metal objects become heated quickly. It is
important to keep moving the object back and forth across
the grinding wheel and to cool the object frequently using
the grinder's Coolant Tray.
