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 your risk of
serious injury, read this

suitable for grinding.
2.
Inspects, performs a "ring test", and installs
the correct grinding wheel for the type of
workpiece grinding.
3.
Verifies/adjusts the work rest so it is perpen-
dicular to the grinding wheel and the gap is
⁄
" to

5.
Positions the eye shield for safety, and con-
nects the grinder to power.
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 work 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.
