BENCH MOUNTING
1. The grinder should be unplugged.
2. Position grinder on workbench. Check for the availability of power for the grinder. Mark location of holes for drilling.
3. Drill appropriate sized holes.
4. Insert ¼" (6mm) Hex head bolts through washers and the holes. You may want to use washers on the underside of
the bench as well.
5. Tighten the nuts. Do not overtighten. Allow the rubber feet to absorb the vibration when the grinder is running.
INSTALLING EYE SHIELDS (FIG.1)
Turn off tool and disconnect from power supply. Adjust the eye shields so they are between the wheels and your eyes.
NOTE: Eye shields are not designed to replace safety glasses.
INSTALLING TOOL RESTS
Turn off power and disconnect from power supply. Use the bolts, washers, spacers and lock nuts from the plastic bag
to secure the brackets and tool rests in place.
CAUTION: Use the washers and screws supplied. Longer screws may interfere with the movement of the grinding wheel.
OPERATION
Never use a bench grinder if it is not firmly fastened to a work bench or rigid frame. Before turning the grinder on,
put on safety glasses. Turn on the grinder and allow it to reach full speed ( 2950 rpm ) . Hold the workpiece
firmly and against the tool rest. Hold very small pieces with pliers or other suitable clamps. Feed the work smoothly and
evenly into the grinding wheel. Move the work slowly and avoid jamming the work against the wheel. As the wheel tends
to slow down you should occasionally release the pressure to let the wheel return to full speed.
Grind only on the face of the grinding wheel and never on the side. (Some wheels are designed for side grinding and will
say so on their instruction sheets).
CAUTION: Prolonged grinding will cause most materials to become hot. Handle them with pliers.
SWITCH
The switch is located on the front of the grinder, on the base. To turn the tool on depress the side of the rocker switch on the
right side, marked "1". To turn off the grinder, depress the left side of the rocker switch, marked " O ".
CHANGING ACCESSORIES (FIG. 2)
Turn off the tool and disconnect from power supply. Use only wheels that measure
12.7mm
arbors on both sides. Follow the steps below to remove and replace an accessory.
1. Loosen and pull the tool rest out as far as possible. Do not remove it.
2. Remove the three screws from the side of the wheel cover and remove the cover.
3. Insert a flat bladed screwdriver into the slot in the left end of the grinder's rotor shaft. Hold the screwdriver firmly to
keep the shaft from turning as you loosen and remove the hex nut in the center of the grinding wheel or other accessory.
4. Remove the wheel washer and the wheel.
5. Inspect the wheel for cracks, chips or any other visible damage (other than normal wear) and discard if such damage
is found. Inspect the blotters for damage. If the blotters are missing or severely damaged, replace them with pieces of
thin cardboard or blotter paper cut in the same shape. NEVER USE A GRINDING WHEEL WITHOUT A BLOTTER ON
EACH SIDE OF THE WHEEL.
6. Install the new wheel or other accessory. Be sure that both wheel washers are in place (concave sides toward wheel).
Use only flanges furnished with the grinder.
7. Hold as before and tighten the nut firmly but do not overtighten. OVERTIGHTENING CAN CRACK A GRINDING WHEEL.
8. Replace the wheel cover and its screws.
9. Adjust the tool rest to at least 1/16" (1,5mm) from the accessory and tighten securely.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use 10 watt max. appliance bulb.
MAINTENANCE
Your tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory
operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
WARNING: Before performing any maintenance, switch off and unplug the tool.
• Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool using a soft brush or dry cloth.
• Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth. Do not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.
CLEANING
Blowing dust and grit out of the wheel guards using compressed air is a necessary regular maintenance procedure. Dust
and grit containing metal particles often accumulate on interior surfaces and could create an electrical shock hazard if not
frequently cleaned out. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
CAUTION: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. Use clean, dry rag only.
