ASSEMBLY
To be certain the grinding wheels have not been damaged in ship-
ment, strike the edges slightly with a metal object. A ringing sound
indicates a good wheel, but a dull noise may signal a fracture.
Parts to be fastened to the unit should be located and accounted
for (See List and Figure 1).

TOOL REST ASSEMBLY
•
Place tool rest (D) over tool rest bracket and secure in position
with 5/16” flat washer (E) and 5/16-18 x 1” knob (F).
•
Attach tool rest bracket to the bottom of the left wheel guard
using one 3/8-16 x 3/4” hex head bolt (A) and one 3/8” flat
washer (B). Make sure that the slot of the bracket is located
over the raised boss on the guard. Tighten bolts finger tight.
•
Position tool rest so that distance between tool rest and grind-
ing wheel is less than 1/16”. Reposition angle of tool rest if nec-
essary. Secure all knobs and bolts.
•
Mount right tool rest in a similar manner.
EYESHIELD ASSEMBLY
•
Attach spark guard (L) to left wheel guard using 3/8-16 x 1/2”
knob (M) and 3/8” flat washer (B).
•
Mount left upper eyeshield bracket (H) to eyeshield (I) using
two #10-24 x 3/8” pan head screws (G) and lower eyeshield
bracket (J).
NOTE:
Left upper eyeshield bracket is stamped “L” for identifica-
tion.
•
Slide 1/4-20 x 1/2” knob (K) through hole at top of left spark
guard (L) into upper eyeshield bracket (H) and secure in posi-
tion.
•
Locate eyeshield in desired position for protecting operator
and secure all knobs and bolts.
•
Mount right eyeshield assembly in a similar manner.
DUST COLLECTOR HOSE
•
A dust collector hose has been provided with grinder. Slide
hoses onto sides of T-connector and flanges. Mount the hose
by sliding the flanges at each end over the exhaust ports on
the left and right wheel guards. Attach 2½” shop vacuum hose
to collector hose. Be sure hose is mounted securely.
DANGER:
Be sure to empty shop vacuum of all flammable materi-
al (flammable liquids and vapors, paper, wood, plastic, etc.) before
connecting vacuum to grinder. Hot sparks from grinder may ignite
flammable materials in shop vacuum.
INSTALLATION
MOUNT GRINDER
•
Mount grinder to a solid horizontal surface (hardware not pro-
vided). If mounted to metal pedestal, align mounting holes
with corresponding holes in pedestal. Insert a
1
/
4
-20 x 1¼” hex
head bolt with flat washer through base of grinder. From bot-
tom of pedestal, place a
1
/
4
” flat washer and
1
/
4
”-20 hex nut onto
the bolt. Tighten only until space between grinder base and
pedestal is
1
/
8
”. Using second nut on each bolt, jam tighten
against the first to prevent loosening by vibration.
•
To mount grinder to wooden bench top, use
1
/
4
x 1¼” wood
screws with flat washers beneath heads. Tighten screws until
space between grinder base and bench top is
1
/
8
”.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Improper connection of equipment grounding con-
ductor can result in the risk of electrical shock. Equipment should
be grounded while in use to protect operator from electrical shock.
•
Check with a qualified electrician if grounding instructions are
not understood or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
•
This grinder is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord
rated at 300V and a 3-prong, grounding type plug (See Figure
2) for your protection against shock hazards.
•
Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a properly
installed and grounded 3- prong grounding-type receptacle
(See Figure 2).
•
Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING:
Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug
when installing or removing from outlet.
