OPERATING THE BENCH GRINDER
The Bench Grinder is designed for hand held grinding,
sharpening, and cleaning operations.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION!
Hot sparks are
produced during grinding operations.
1.
The Power Switch must be in the “OFF” position.
2.
Stand to the side of the Bench Grinder and plug in
the power cord to the correct power source.
3.
Remain to the side of the Bench Grinder and turn it
“ON” by moving the power switch to the up position.
4.
Allow the grinding wheels to come up to a steady
speed for at least one minute.
5.
The Flexible Work Light may be turned “ON” if
desired.
6.
Adjust the eyeshields. Place the workpiece on the
appropriate tool rest for the desired operation.
7.
Move the workpiece towards the grinding wheel
until it lightly touches. Move the workpiece back
and forth across the front surface of the grinding
wheel removing the amount of material desired.
DO NOT EVER GRIND ON THE SIDES OF THE
GRINDING WHEELS.
8.
The operator may place the hot end of the work-
piece into the water in the quench tray to cool it.
9.
After completing the grinding operations, turn “OFF”
the Bench Grinder by pushing down on the Power
Switch.
CAUTION:
It will take a few minutes for the
grinding wheels to come to a complete stop.
10. Turn “OFF” the Flexible Work Light.
CAUTION:
The
Flexible Work Light housing will remain hot for a
few minutes after turning it “OFF”.
11. Avoid contact with housing until it is cool. Unplug
the Bench Grinder from the power source.
USING THE WHEEL DRESSER (Fig. J)
Fig. J
The Wheel Dresser is to be used on the grinding
wheels. It will remove buildup of material on the grind-
ing wheel, remove imperfections and make the corners
of the grinding wheel square. See Fig. J.
1.
Loosen the correct side tool rest (A) and adjust it
until it is in the flat horizontal position as shown and
1/16” away from the grinding wheel.
2.
Turn “ON” the Bench Grinder. Let the grinding
wheel come up to a steady speed for one minute.
3.
After the grinding wheel has gotten to a steady
speed, place the Wheel Dresser (B) flat on the Tool
Rest with the serrated wheels facing the grinding
wheel.
4.
Firmly hold on to the handle of the Wheel Dresser.
5.
Move the Wheel Dresser forward until the serrated
wheels make light contact with the grinding wheel
(C). After contact has been made, slide the Wheel
Dresser side to side across the Tool Rest to dress
the grinding wheel until the edge of the grinding
wheel is square and the surface is clean.
6.
After the operator has completed dressing the
grinding wheel, turn “OFF” the Bench Grinder and
let the grinding wheel come to a complete stop.
7.
Inspect the grinding wheel for any damage!
8.
The grinding wheel may now be slightly smaller in
diameter after dressing. Readjust the tool rests and
spark arrestors to maintain a 1/16” clearance to the
grinding wheel.
