To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the tool, use proper circuit protection. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. The grinder is wired at the factory for 120 Volt operation. It must be connected to a 120 V, 10 AMP branch circuit and use a 10 AMP time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, replace power cord immediately if it is worn, cut or damaged in any way.
Your power tool and its Instruction Manual may contain "WARNING ICONS" (a picture symbol intended to alert you to and/or instruct you how to avoid a potentially hazardous condition). Understanding and heeding these symbols will help you operate your tool better and safer. Shown below are some of the symbols you may see.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.
POWER TOOL SAFETY
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS POWER TOOL
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how to use your power tool.
BENCH GRINDER SAFETY
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the tool, use proper circuit protection. Use a seperate electrical circuit for your tool. Your drill press is wired at the factory for 120 V operation. Connect to a 120 V, 10Amp circuit and use a 10 Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, if power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric currents and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electrical cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electrical cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not certain the tool is properly grounded.
USE only 3-wire extension cords that have three-pronged grounding plugs with three-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must not be less than #18 wire and should be protected with a 10 Amp time lag fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the off position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use an extension cord heavy the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power, overheating and burning out of the motor. The table below shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified technician before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle like the one illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows a three-pronged electrical plug and receptacle that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded receptacle is not available, an adapter (Fig.2) can be used to temporarily connect this plug to a two-contact grounded receptacle. The adapter (Fig. 2) has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded receptacle box.
In all cases, make certain the receptacle is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the receptacle.

GENERAL OPERATION
Keep all bystanders a safe distance away from the tool and not in direct line, front or back of the grinder.
MOUNTING THE TOOL ON A WORKBENCH (FIG. F)
NOTE: FIRMLY BOLT THE GRINDER TO A WORK BENCH OR LEG STAND to gain maximum stability for your machine.
To reduce the risk of injury, turn off the grinder and disconnect it from power source before installing and removing accessories, adjusting and making repairs.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
In order to conveniently carry the bench grinder from place to place, hold the left and right side of the wheel cover for transportation.
ON/OFF Switch (FIG. G)
Always lock the switch off when the grinder is not in use. Remove the key and keep it in a safe place. In the event of a power failure, blown fuse, or tripped circuit breaker, turn the switch off and remove the key, preventing an accidental startup when the power comes on.
ADJUSTING THE SPEED OF THE GRINDER
Your grinder is equipped with a dual speed control switch.
Grinding
Grind only on the face of the grinding wheel and never the side of it.
Prolonged grinding will cause most materials to become hot. Use care when handling such materials.
SCISSORS
If possible, take the scissors apart to make the sharpening operation easier and safer.
Remove material only from the outside surface and work from the heavy end of the blade toward the tip.
KNIVES
Remove metal from both faces of most knives, working from the heavy end of the blade toward the tip.
SCREWDRIVERS
The end of a properly sharpened screwdriver will be a perfect rectangle, absolutely flat and perpendicular to the center line of the shank. The two sides and two faces will taper outward from the edge of the shoulder or shank. They should be flat with intersecting faces perpendicular. Hold each face of the screwdriver against the wheel to true it up, then ease the end straight into the stone to grind it true.
CHANGING GRINDING WHEELS (FIG. H, I, J, K, L)
Turn off and unplug the bench grinder.
Use only grinding wheels that measure 8 in. (200 mm) in diameter. This tool has 5/8 in. (15.88 mm) arbors on both sides.
BUFFING WHEEL OR WIRE WHEEL
A buffing wheel or wire (not included) wheel can be used with your grinder. You will need to add one or more spacers ( 1 ) to allow the arbour hex nut to tighten correctly. wire wheel: 8 x 5/8" with a maximum speed of 4500 RPM.
DRESSING A GRINDING WHEEL (FIG. N)
A Wheel Dresser (not included) is to be used to remove any forward wobble, buildup up of material on the grinding wheel, remove imperfections, and make the corners of the grinding wheel square.
NOTE: DO NOT use the Wheel Dresser on Wire Wheels (not included) if they are installed on the grinder.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
For your own safety, turn switch "OFF" and remove plug from power source outlet before adjusting and maintaining your bench grinder. If power cord is worn, cut or damaged in any way, have it replacedb immediately.
