SAFETY EYE 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
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 work rest to
maintain 1.6 mm. or less separation as diameter of the
wheel decreases with use.
With a permanently mounted work light 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.
