INSTALLING THE EYE SHIELDS
Turn off and unplug the bench grinder. Remove all remaining parts from the plastic bag.
NOTE:
There is a left and a right eye shield mounting rod. Examine the figure closely to ensure
that you are installing them correctly. The one pictured in Figure 3 is for the right wheel guard as
you face the front of the tool. Carefully examine Figure 3 and assemble one rod, one bracket, one
bolt and one flat washer as shown. When it has been assembled as shown in the figure, install it to
the wheel guard of the grinder.
Position it with the arm high, as shown in Figure 4. and tighten the bolt securely.
NOTE:
The eye shields are identical and will fit properly on either side of the grinder. However it
may be necessary to loosen the center hex nut in order to slip the shield over the mounting rod.
After you have assembled and installed each eye shield
mounting rod to the grinder, attach the eye shields to the rods
as shown in Figure 5.
Install them in such a way that the three hex nuts on each
eye shield are on the back side, away from the operator,
when the tool is in use.
Tighten the center hex nut so that the shield can be moved,
but will be tight enough to stay in place.
Always position the eye shields between your eyes and the
grinding wheel or other accessory being used.
OPERATION
Note: The bench grinder needs to be bolted to the work surface before you start to use the tool.
Use2/5in. (10mm) bolts or screws to fix the bench grinder on your work surface.
GENERAL OPERATION
Step 1:
Obtain a tray that is large enough for the workpiece to fit into, fill it with water and place it
near the Bench Grinder.
Step 2:
Turn the Bench Grinder on.
Step 3:
Once the GRINDING WHEEL has reached full speed, bring the workpiece up to the Wheel,
gently and without jarring.
Step 4:
Use the TOOL REST to steady the workpiece.
Step 5:
The workpiece will quickly become heated. Frequently quench the workpiece in water. If
the metal becomes heated so much that it gets blue-colored, it will be too soft to be useful. You
must grind off the part that is colored, cool the workpiece and start again.
