MAINTENANCE

• As wheels wear, tool rests should be positioned closer to the
face of the wheels.
• The gap between the wheel and the tool rest should not be
greater than 1 / " . When the wheels are worn to the extent that
16
the 1 / " maximum gap cannot be maintained, the wheels
16
should be replaced.
• Models 82061B, 82062B, 82071B and 82081B: Replacement
wheels should have a minimum rated speed of at least 3600
RPM.
82061B, 82062B, 82071B, 82081B & 82101A
• Model 82101A: Replacement wheels must have a minimum
rated speed of 1800 RPM.
• Maximum wheel diameter is 6" for 82061B and 82062B, 7" for
82071B, 8" for 82081B, and 10" for 82101A.
• To loosen nuts holding the wheels, disconnect power and push
a wood wedge between the tool rest and the wheel to keep
the shaft from turning. The threads on the right side of the
grinder (facing unit) are right hand; threads on the left side are
left hand. Tighten nuts securely before operating the grinder.
• For grinding efficiency, wheels should be dressed periodically,
especially if they become clogged from grinding soft metals.
