1. Loosen, but do not remove, the two hex nuts holding the tool rest arm.
2. Slide the tool rest in or out to achieve a 1/8in. distance from the grinding wheel surface.
3. Re-tighten the two hex nuts.
OPERATION:
ON/OFF
The rocker ON/OFF power switch is located on the front of the grinder.
1. Press the side marked ON to turn the grinder on.
2. Press the side marked OFF to turn the grinder off.
Grinding
Adjust the tool rest to accommodate large or unusually shaped workpieces.
Always keep the workpiece moving across the face of the grinding wheel. Grinding
continuously on the same spot on the wheel will cause grooves to be worn into the wheel.
The wheel may crack or become damaged more easily, and grinding of other objects will be
difficult.
If the workpiece becomes hot, dip it into water to cool it.
Always grind on the face of the wheel (around the diameter), NEVER on the sides. Side
pressure on grinding wheels can cause cracking and damage.
If the face of the grinding wheel is worn unevenly, becomes grooved, or is no longer smooth
and flat, the wheel should be reshaped with a dressing tool (not supplied).
If the diameter of the grinding wheel is no longer round, the wheel should be reshaped with
a dressing tool or replaced.
If the surface of the wheel becomes loaded and dull with workpiece material, the wheel
should be cleaned with a dressing tool.
After reshaping, always readjust the tool rests and spark arrestors.
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance Required
1. Check power cord
2. Check wheels for cracks
3. Check moving parts for alignment and binding issues
4. Dress Grinding Wheels
5. Replace Grinding Wheels (see manual section for specifics)
6. Clean and vacuum dust from the motor housing and other grinder parts
7. Replace work-light bulb
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
COOLANT TRAY
When grinding, metal objects become heated quickly. It is important to keep moving the object back
and forth across the face of the grinding wheel and to cool the object frequently using the coolant
tray.
