9.5 Dressing the wheel
Below is a general procedure for dressing a
grinding wheel.
Use safety glasses or face
shield during dressing operations.
1. Back off the tool rest enough to allow the
dresser to hook over its inside edge (Figure 9-
3). Tighten tool rest in position.
2. Turn on grinder and allow it to reach operating
speed.
3. Set the wheel dresser on the rest and bring it
into contact with the wheel by raising its
handle. Hold the dresser firmly.
Note: If sparks appear, increase the pressure
of the dresser discs against the wheel.
4. Move the dresser evenly left and right across
the wheel face until the wheel looks clean and
is square to the tool rest.
5. Remove the dresser, and adjust the tool rest to
1/16” away from the newly dressed wheel.

9.6 Wire wheel brushes
Wire brushing (not provided) is a fast way to
remove rust scale, burrs, and paint from metal. Use
coarse wire brushes for hard cleaning jobs. Use
fine wire brushes for polishing and finish work.
When the brush tips become dull, reverse the
brush on the grinder.
9.7 Cleaning
Metal shavings may still be hot
from recent grinding operations. Make sure
shavings and debris are cold before cleaning
the grinder.
Avoid use of the following
cleaning chemicals or solvents: gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated solvents,
ammonia and household detergents containing
ammonia.
Brush all shavings from the motor housing, tool
rest, wheel guards and sanding belt areas. Check
grinding wheel for cracks and chips. Replace if
damaged.
Periodically use a cleaning stick (not provided)
against the belt and abrasive disc to remove build-
up.
If the abrasive belt becomes loaded, it can be
cleaned in a solvent. Allow to dry thoroughly before
reinstalling.
9.8 Lubrication
All motor bearings are permanently lubricated and
sealed at the factory and require no additional
lubrication.
9.9 Additional servicing
Any additional servicing on the grinder should be
performed by an authorized service representative.
