The IBGM-8VS Grinder with Multitool Attachment
requires only the assembly of the eye shield and
tool rest. Additional tools may be needed for
fastening the grinder to a workbench or stand. For
your safety, do not plug the grinder into a power
source until all assembly and adjustments are
complete.
Be sure that the bench grinder
is unplugged and the power switch is in the
OFF position. Do not plug in the grinder to
power until it is inspected for shipping damage,
fully assembled, and moved to its permanent
location. Failure to comply may cause serious
injury.
Do not operate this grinder
without all guards and shields in place and in
working order. Failure to comply may cause
serious injury.
Chipped or cracked wheels
can break up and cause serious damage to the
grinder and/or severe injury to the operator.
Regularly inspect wheels for damage.

5.4 Securing the grinder
To prevent the machine from moving during
operation, it should be securely mounted to a work
surface or grinder stand. Fasteners for mounting
are not included with the grinder.
1. Align the mounting holes on the grinder with
predrilled holes in a bench or grinder stand.
Figure 4-1 shows hole centers for mounting.
2. Insert M8 (or 5/16”) bolts through the holes
and tighten, using washers and nuts.
An optional pedestal stand (not included) is
available from JET for your grinder. See
sect. 11.0.
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.
