MAINTENANCE
Motor
The motor bearings are permanently
sealed and lubricated. There is no
internal maintenance required.
Motor shaft
Apply Inland Craft motor shaft lubricant
(not included) or a small amount of
Vaseline to the motor shaft whenever
you change or remove the grinding bits.
Remove the bit if you won’t be using the
grinder for more than a week.
Water reservoir
Remove and clean the reservoir every
four hours of use, more often if grinding
heavily. Remove the water reservoir by
fi rst removing any grinding bits. Lift off
the work surface, then lift the reservoir
tray off the grinder housing. Scrape the
glass sludge into the trash and rinse
clean. Reassemble, referring to the
assembly section on page 7.
Work surface
The work surface is reversible. When one
side becomes worn, simply fl ip it over.
Replacement work surfaces are available
online.
Coolant sponge
Periodically rinse out the coolant sponge
to remove any accumulated grinding
residue. Squeeze several times while
holding the sponge under running water
to rinse and clean it. When the sponge
becomes worn, replace it.
Keep your switch clean
Water and glass slurry may slop over the
sides of the grinder and onto the switch.
Wet hands handling the switch will also
get glass slurry into the switch. Over time,
this glass slurry builds up in the switch
contacts. Because colored glass contains
metal oxides, when signifi cant quantities
are there, the dried glass dust will make
a live connection across the switch
contacts.
Maintenance to WizCG and WizlingCG grinders is minimal but important. Follow these
guidelines to prolong the life and performance of your machine.
