OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
As you face your bench grinder, the wheel on the left is a medium (60 grit) wheel for
medium material removal and general purpose grinding.
The wheel on your right is a coarse (36 grit) wheel for fast material removal.
To operate the bench grinder, put on safety glasses and turn the tool on. Allow it to
reach full speed (3450 RPM for BGC-6 and 3600 RPM for BGC-8) before grinding.
Hold the workpiece firmly and against the tool rest. Hold very small pieces with pliers
or other suitable clamps. Feed the work smoothly and evenly into the grinding wheel.
Move the work slowly and avoid jamming the work against the wheel. As the wheel
tends to slow down you should occasionally release the pressure to let the wheel
return to full speed.
Grind only on the face of the grinding wheel and never the side of it. (Some wheels
are designed for side grinding and will say so on their blotters.)
CAUTION: Prolonged grinding will cause most materials to become hot. Use care
when handling them.
