and spark arrestors to maintain a distance of 1/16”
from the wheel.
4.
DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF THE BENCH
GRINDER WHEN STARTING IT
. Stand to one side
of the Bench Grinder and turn it “ON”. Wait at the
side for one minute until the grinder comes up to
full speed. There is always a possibility that debris
from a damaged grinding wheel may be discharged
towards the operator.

in the vicinity. Frequently clean grinding dust from
the back of the Bench Grinder.

wheel an opportunity to warm up. This will minimize
the chance of wheel breakage.

the sides of the grinding wheels.
DO NOT
apply
coolant directly to the grinding wheel.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BENCH GRINDERS
The operation of any grinder can result in debris being
thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye
damage.
ALWAYS
wear Safety Goggles (that comply
with ANSI standard Z87.1) when operating the grinder.
Safety Goggles are available at Sears Retail Stores.
Keep your thumbs and fingers away from the grinding
wheels.
1.
ALWAYS USE THE EYE SHIELDS AND WHEEL
GUARDS
provided with the grinder.
2.
REPLACE A CRACKED OR DAMAGED GRIND-
ING WHEEL IMMEDIATELY
. A damaged wheel can
discharge debris at a high velocity towards the
operator. Carefully handle the grinding wheels since
they are abrasive. Prior to replacing a grinding
wheel, check it for cracks.
DO NOT
remove the
blotter or label on both sides of the grinding wheel.
Tighten the spindle nut just enough to hold the
grinding wheel firmly to the Bench Grinder. Do not
over-tighten the nut. Excessive clamping force can
damage the grinding wheel. Only use the wheel
flanges provided with the grinder. When selecting a
replacement grinding wheel, verify that the grinding
wheel has a higher R.P.M. rating than the maximum
R.P.M. of the Bench Grinder.
