OPERaTION
IMPORTANT: Before each use of the bench grinder, inspect its general condition.
Check for loose screws, damaged electrical wiring, cracked, chipped, or damaged
wheels and misalignment or binding of the moving parts. If bench or pedestal
mounted, check that all fasteners are in place and tight.
CAUTION: Keep your bench grinder clean by removing dust from working parts,
the lower portion of the wheel guard assembly, and the work area surrounding the
grinder.
ON/OFF Switch (FIG 8)
The Switch (1) is located on the front of the grinder.
To turn the grinder "ON", push the right hand portion of
the switch, with the white dot, down.
To turn the grinder "OFF", push the left hand portion of
the switch down.
Work Light
your grinder is equipped with two flexible work lights for better visibility in the work area during
operation. When the tool is turned on, the lights will turn on automatically and stay on until the tool is
turned off.
WaRNING:
from the power source before adjusting, adding accessories, or checking a
function on the tool.
Grinding Wheels
for best grinding results and maintaining good balance, always keep the wheel(s) properly dressed.
Never force a work piece against a cold wheel but use light pressure until the wheel becomes warm.
We strongly recommend using only balanced wheels on these grinders. Balanced wheels will add years
of life to grinder bearings and arbor shaft, and eliminate the most common cause of vibration, which
will yield more accurate work.
Dressing a Grinding Wheel
When the grinding wheel is out of balance, worn out of shape, or dull, loaded and glazed, it must be
trued and dressed. Truing or dressing the wheel is best done using a "star-wheel" dresser, silicone
carbide stick type dresser or a diamond faced dressing tool (not supplied). Dress the wheel by moving
the dresser forward on the tool rest until it just touches the highpoint on the face of the wheel, then
dress the wheel by moving the dresser back and forth across the wheel face. Repeat this procedure
until the face of the grinding wheel is clean and the corners of the wheels are square.
BASIC GRINDER OPERATIONS
WaRNING:
shields during operation of any power tool. If the operation is dusty, wear
appropriate protective mask.
your Bench Grinder is equipped with one coarse grinding wheel and one medium grinding wheel. It
is the ideal tool for sharpening tools such as wood chisels, cold chisels, planer blades, scissors, lawn
mower blades, etc.
