SECTION 4: OPERATIONS

Operation Overview

The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov-
ice machine operator with a basic understanding
of how the machine is used during operation, so
the machine controls/components discussed later
in this manual are easier to understand.
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is
not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn
more about specific operations, read this entire
manual and seek additional training from expe-
rienced machine operators, and do additional
research outside of this manual by reading "how-
to" books, trade magazines, or websites.
To reduce the risk of
serious injury when using
this bench grinder, read
and understand this entire
manual before operating.
Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears could
result from using this machine without prop-
er protective gear. Always wear safety gog-
gles, a face shield, and a respirator when
operating this machine.
Loose hair and cloth-
ing could get caught in
machinery and cause seri-
ous personal injury. Keep
loose clothing and long
hair away from moving
machinery.

To complete a typical operation, the
operator does the following:
1. Examines the workpiece to make sure it is
suitable for grinding.
2. Selects the correct grinding wheel for the
type of workpiece grinding, inspects the
wheel, performs a "ring test", and installs the
wheel.
3.
Verifies/adjusts the tool rest position so it is
perpendicular to the grinding wheel and the
gap is ⁄ " to ⁄ ".

5.
Positions the safety shield for safe grinding.
6.
Double checks that no combustibles or flam-
mable materials are near and removes all
potential ignition hazards.
7.
Ensures that the ON/OFF switch is in the
OFF position, and connects the grinder to
power.
8.
Puts on safety goggles, face shield, and res-
pirator.
9.
Stands aside, starts the grinder, and allows it
to reach full speed.
10. Places the workpiece on the tool rest and
positions it for grinding.
11. Using just enough force to allow the wheel
to warm up evenly and get the job done, the
operator gradually feeds the workpiece into
the grinding wheel and moves the workpiece
left and right to prevent grooves in the
wheel.
12. Quenches the workpiece as required to pre-
vent surface hardening or temper loss.
13. Stops the bench grinder.
