Check that the spark guard and the tool rest are not touching the grindstone. Reconnect the
grinder to the mains supply, give the grinder a 'short burst', by switching it on and off
quickly. Check the grinder is not subject to any undue vibration. If the grinder does vibrate,
strip it down again and check that the bush (if fitted) is correctly positioned and is the
correct size for the stone and the spindle. Check the bore of the stone is correct. If these all
seem correct, refit and carryout the 'quick burst' procedure again. If the machine is still
vibrating, discard the stone and replace with another one. Run up to speed normally. Leave
the machine running for at least one minute before carrying out any work. Apply a
workpiece and check that the spark guard is correctly positioned and that the tool rest is
securely fixed.
Undo the nut, (fig 15) and remove the wheel flange (fig 16) and the stone (fig 17).
NOTE.
Take care removing the flange or the stone from the flange as the flanges form the
bushing to size the grindstone bore to the gearbox shaft. (See fig 17)
