CHANGING A GRINDING WHEEL

Always make sure that the mains plug is out of the socket before doing any work on the equipment and when it is out of use.
You must only use grinding wheels on which the manufacturer's information, the type of adhesive, dimensions and permitted speed agree
with the technical information specified for this bench grinder.
Do not use any damaged or distorted grinding wheels. If you install new grinding wheels carryout a ringing test before use. Grinding wheels
in good condition give a clear ringing noise when struck lightly with a plastic hammer.
Take off the wheel guard cover , eye shield and the wheel edge cover , and slacken the workpiece mount / . You must ensure
that the left-hand side of the bench grinder (see Fig. 2) has a left-hand thread and the right-hand side has a right-hand thread. The notched
nut indicates the left-hand thread. The nut without notches corresponds to the right-hand thread. This ensures that the nuts can only
be screwed off in the direction of rotation of the spindle.
Now change the grinding wheels and reassemble all the components in the reverse order.
