Note : In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is
not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code,
C22.1.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like,
extending from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box.
3. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for
use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating
between
150 - 250 volts , inclusive:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in
D, Figure
6-1. A grounding plug may be installed, that looks
like the plug illustrated in
D ; or the grinder may be
“hard-wired” to a panel, provided there is a
disconnect for the operator.
Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet having
the same configuration as the plug. No adapter is
available or should be used with this tool. If the tool
must be reconnected for use on a different type of
electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by
qualified service personnel; and after reconnection,
the tool should comply with all local codes and
ordinances.
6.2 Extension cords
The use of extension cords is discouraged. Try to
position equipment near the power source. If an
extension cord becomes necessary, use only
three-wire extension cords that have three-prong
grounding type plugs and three-prong receptacles
that accept the tool's plug. Replace or repair
damaged or worn cord immediately.
Make sure your extension cord is good condition,
and is heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
Table 2 shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the
gage number (AWG), the heavier the cord.

6.3 Voltage conversion
To change voltage input to 230-volt on the IBGM-
8VS Grinder, remove existing plug from grinder
cable and attach a UL/CSA listed plug designed for
230V power.
7.0 Operation
Always use approved safety
glasses or face shield while operating tool.
Failure to comply may cause serious injury.
A bench grinder is designed for hand-grinding
operations such as sharpening chisels,
screwdrivers, drill bits, removing excess metal, and
smoothing and polishing metal surfaces.
The IBGM-8VS with Multitool attachment offers
multiple working methods:
•
Grinding wheel – A 36-grit wheel is provided,
and is effective when a considerable amount
of metal must be removed, or when obtaining
a smooth finish is not important. A finer grain
abrasive grinding wheel (not provided) can be
mounted for sharpening tools or grinding to
close size tolerances because it removes
metal more gradually for precision grinding
and achieves a smoother finish.
•
Disc grinding – Versatile function, such as
dressing small castings and sharpening cutters
and tools, or squaring the ends of a workpiece.
An optional mitering table can be purchased
(see
sect. 11.0 ) to support the workpiece and
facilitate angles.
•
Belt and platen (horizontal or vertical position)
– Workpieces of any length can be worked on
the belt and platen.
•
Contact wheel – Grinding, polishing and
sanding against belt and contact wheel offers
smooth sanding, removing material more
rapidly than conventional grinding wheels.
•
“Free strapping” is grinding, sanding, or
polishing on the underside of belt, opposite the
platen, without a backing behind the belt. This
method is especially suitable for contour work.
Fine belt grades are recommended because of
the rapid material removal.
7.1 Operating controls
Press on/off button on keypad (Figure 7-1) to start
or stop. Press any of the numbered buttons to start
machine at the designated speed. Press arrow
buttons to change rotation speed in 100 RPM
increments.
The digital readout displays RPM (revolutions per
minute), and will flash briefly during start up and
speed adjustments.
