listed below:

BASIC OPERATION
To be efficient and work as designed, your tools should be
kept sharp. Dull tools can and will cause accidents.
Bench Grinders are ideal for sharpening tools such as
chisels, planer blades, scissors, etc., and for removing rust
or corrosion.
WARNING:
Never sharpen or grind anything made of aluminum,
brass, or copper.
Grinders remove material rapidly so pressure is the key to
efficient grinding.
The proper way to sharpen a tool and avoid overheating is:
n
Keep the object in constant motion, moving it at an even
pace.
n
Never force a tool against the grinding wheel.
n
Keep the tool cool by using either the coolant tray or a
pan of water.
n
The grinding wheel should rotate “into” the object being
sharpened.
OPERATION
NOTE:
Excessive pressure may damage the tool, cause the
motor to overheat, and prematurely wear down the grinding
wheel.
WARNING:
Excessive pressure on a cold wheel may cause the
wheel to crack.
