SPARK DEFLECTOR 

Spark Deflector is attached to the Bench Grinder. 
 

If necessary, adjust the spark deflectors to within 
1/16 in. (1.6 mm) of the grinding wheel. Tighten 

screws securely. 

 
WARNING: 

Always spin the wheel by hand before 

turning on the grinder to make sure the spark 
deflector doesn’t hit the grinding wheel. 

 

 
 
SHIELD BRACKET ASSEMBLY 

 

Note: The hardware used for assembling the safety 
shields to the shield brackets has been preassembled 
and prepackaged. 

 
Attach safety shield support bar to grinder with a 

thumb screw. 

 

 
WARNING:

  Excessive pressure on a cold wheel may cause the wheel to crack. 

 

MOUNTING SAFETY SHIELDS 

 

Take Shield Bracket and attach onto safety shield 
support bar with thumb screws.  

Refer to illustration on page 5 to determine left and right 
safety shields.
 

 
 
 

 

 

 

WARNING: 

To prevent personal injury, never operate the bench grinder unless the safety 

shields and spark deflectors are properly installed and in place. 

 
WORK REST 

Before attempting to mount the work rest, remove the pre-attached thumb screw with 
hex bolt and star washer. Place the work rest over the hex bolt before replacing the 

thumb screw and star washer. Using the thumb screw and star washer, secure the work 
rest against the inside of the wheel guard. 
 

Before tightening the thumb screw, adjust the gap between the grinding wheel and the 
work rest to a maximum of 1/16 in. (1.6 mm). Tighten securely.
