Wheel Replacement - Terratek TBG6 User Manual

Operation
Always wear eye protection when using this or any other grinder.
Turn on the grinder and wait until it reaches full speed before you start grinding.
Use the tool rest to keep the work piece steady. Keep a steady even pressure on the
work piece and keep moving it from side to side at even pace for smooth grinding and
to avoid uneven wheel wear. Do not push too hard because this may overheat the
motor and prematurely wear down the wheels, work slowly.
Note the original grind angle on the item you are sharpening/grindring and try to keep
the same angle. Make sure the grinding wheel always rotates down onto the object
you are grinding to avoid injury. Obtain a tray with water and place it next to the grinder
to dip your work to keep from overheating or burning as this will weaken the metal.
Maintenance
WARNING: For your own safety, make sure switch is OFF and unplugged from the
power source before doing any maintenance or adjustments. Replace the power cord
immediately if it is cut, worn, or damaged in any way.
Grinding Wheel Care
Under normal use, grinding wheels may become cracked, chipped, grooved or packed
with debris from materials being cut. If a wheel cracks or chips replace it immediately.
New wheels occasionally require dressing to remedy out of round conditions.
