Assembly; Unpacking - PowerTec BGSS801 Owner's Manual

• Tighten the spindle nut just enough to hold the grinding
wheel firmly to the bench grinder. Do not overtighten,
excessive clamping force can damage the grinding
wheel.
• Adjust distance between wheel and work rest to
maintain 1/16 in. or less separation as the diameter
of the wheel decreases with use. The value of
separation used in the marking is to be the separation
recommended by the manufacturer but shall not be
more than 1/8 in.
• Only use the wheel flanges provided with the grinder.

When selecting a replacement grinding wheel, verify
that the grinding wheel has a higher RPM rating than
the maximum RPM of the bench grinder.
• Never force the workpiece against a grinding wheel,
especially if the wheel is cold. Apply the workpiece
slowly, allowing the grinding wheel an opportunity
to warm up. This will minimize the chance of wheel
breakage.
