Grinding
1. Allow the bench grinder to come up to full speed before touching the wheel.
2. Bring the workpiece up to the wheel, gently and without jarring. Use the tool rest to support the
workpiece as you steadily move the workpiece to the wheel.
3. Keep the workpiece moving across the face of the wheel so that the grinding wheel wears evenly
from side to side.
Note: The workpiece will quickly become heated. Frequently submerge 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.
After Each Use
⚠
WARNING

Do not touch the grinder right after use; it will be very hot.

Keep children away from the bench grinder.

After reshaping, always readjust the tool rests and spark arrestors.
Maintenance
⚠
WARNING

Make sure the bench grinder is disconnected from its power source before attempting any
maintenance, cleaning, or inspection.

Use only soap and a damp cloth to clean your tools. Many household cleaners are harmful to
plastics and other insulation. Never let liquid get inside a tool.
