FEATURES
KNOW YOUR BENCH GRINDER
Before attempting to use your new tool, familiarize yourself with all operating features
and safety requirements. Carefully read this operator’s manual before using your
grinder.
ON/OFF SWITCH
Your Bench Grinder features a front access On/Off switch for convenience and safety.
MOTOR
Powered by a precision-built electric induction motor, your bench grinder has sufficient
power to handle tough grinding jobs.
GRINDING WHEEL
Equipped with coarse grinding wheels to suit most applications.
Note: New wheels can be purchased from your local hardware store.
SAFETY SHIELD AND SPARK DEFLECTOR
The safety shields and spark deflectors are adjustable for operator convenience.
Operating the grinder without these features attached could result in serious injury. Do
not grind with the safety shield raised; always wear safety glasses for personal
protection.
WORK REST
The work rests are independently adjustable to compensate for wheel wear. Before
grinding, make certain the work rests are adjusted properly. Generally the object being
ground is done slightly above center of the grinding wheel. Adjust the distance between
the wheel and the work rest to maintain 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) or less separation as the
diameter of the wheel decreases with use.
AUTO-ON WORKLIGHT
Your Bench Grinder comes equipped with permanently mounted work lights that
automatically lights the work area for safer, more accurate grinding and sharpening.
COOLING TRAY
When grinding, metal objects become heated quickly. It is important to keep moving the
object back and forth across the grinding wheel and to cool the object frequently using
the grinder’s Cooling Tray.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
Always disconnect the bench grinder from the power source before
performing any assembly or adjustment. Failure to do so could result in accidental
starting resulting in possible serious personal injury.
