IMPORTANT:
The grinder’s base plate contains
ventilation holes for keeping the circuit board at an
acceptable temperature. These holes should not be
obstructed. If the rubber pads are removed for
mounting to a table, allow an opening in the table
below the grinder for air circulation. However, it is
recommended the rubber pads be left on, as they
allow air circulation as well as vibration dampening.

Assembling eye shield brackets
to spark guards
Refer to Figure 5-2.
Note:
Spark guards (A) and eye shield brackets (D)
are marked
L
for left side assembly and
R
for right
side assembly.
1. Assemble the left spark guard and eye shield
bracket using Figure 5-2 as a guide. Make sure
spark guard and bracket are both marked
L
.
2. Install the right assembly in the same manner.
Figure 5-2: brackets to spark guards
5.6
Installing spark guards/brackets
Refer to Figure 5-3.
1. Install the left spark guard and mounting
bracket assembly to the left wheel housing with
two 3/8 x 1/2
” hex cap screws
(K) and two 3/8"
flat washers (L).
2. Install the right spark guard and mounting
bracket in the same manner.
3. The spark guards (A
1
) should be adjusted to
within 1/16"
of the grinding wheel surface or
other accessory being used. As the wheel
wears down, the spark guards must be re-
adjusted to maintain this 1/16" distance.
5.7
Eye shields
Refer to Figure 5-3.
The eye shields (O) are identical and will fit on either
side of the grinder.
1.
Insert two 3/16” x 1/2” truss head screws (H)
through the bracket, eye shield
(O), and plate
(G) which contains threaded mounting holes.
2. Tighten the screws (H).
5.8
Tool rests
Refer to Figure 5-3.
Note:
There is a
left
and a
right
tool rest. Refer to
Figure 5-3 for proper orientation.
1. Install the left tool rest (M) by inserting two 3/8"
x 3/4" hex cap screws (J) through two 3/8" flat
washers (L), through the tool rest (M), into the
wheel housing.
2. Install the right tool rest in the same manner.
3. The tool rests should be adjusted to within 1/16"
of the grinding wheel or other accessories being
used. As the wheel wears down, the tool rest
must be readjusted to maintain a 1/16"
clearance.

5.9
Dust hose
Refer to Figure 5-4.
Slide the connector sleeves onto the T-fitting, and
onto the flanges of the wheel guards, as shown. The
T-connector has a 2-
1/2” outside diameter port for
attaching a dust collection system.
