GENERAL
Keep the bench grinder clean. Remove dust from working
parts and beneath the grinder frequently.
Make sure the bench grinder operates properly. Check
screws, nuts, and bolts for tightness.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power.
To keep the loss to a minimum and to prevent tool
overheating, use an extension cord that is heavy enough to
carry the current the tool will draw.
A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for
an extension cord 25 feet or less in length. When working
outdoors, use an extension cord that is suitable for outdoor
use. The cord's jacket will be marked WA.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged,
replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord
since touching the damaged area could cause electrical
shock resulting in serious injury.
WORKLIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
See Figure 12.
To remove worklight bulb, gently push the bulb into the socket
and turn counterclockwise. To install the new bulb, gently
push the bulb into the socket and turn clockwise.
WHEEL DRESSER
Dressing a wheel is done to renew sharpness or to true up
the face of the wheel.
Set the work rest of the bench grinder at a slight angle and
brace the wheel dresser against it. Do not make contact
with the grinding wheel until after you have turned on the
motor and the wheel is rotating at full speed. Press the
dresser slightly against the rotating wheel until you get a
bite, then move slowly from side to side across the wheel. A
small bite and many passes is better than a big bite and one
pass. Work cautiously, hold the dresser with force on the
work rest. Do not use excessive pressure against the
grinding wheel. Proceed slowly until you master the
technique.
