FEATURES
KNOW YOUR BENCH GRINDER
See Figure 3.
Before attempting to use your new tool, familiarize yourself
with all operating features and safety requirements. Care-
fully 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 course and fine grinding wheels to suit most
applications.
Note: New wheels sometimes require dressing to true up the
face of the wheel.
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.
WHEEL DRESSING TOOL
A buildup of metals, dirt, rust, etc. will become embedded in
the grinding wheel as it wears. Using the Wheel Dressing
Tool to clean the wheel of these ground-in particles will help
improve the grinder’s performance.
AUTO-ON WORKLIGHT
Your Bench Grinder comes equipped with a
permanently mounted worklight that automatically lights the
work area for safer, more accurate grinding and sharpening.
COOLANT 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 Coolant Tray.
