If any of the above checks fail, replace, repair, or adjust as necessary before starting the grinder.

5.2.

Stone Use.

Depending on the model, grinders are supplied with one or two aluminous oxide stones. Stones have two grades, fine are preferred

for hard materials a coarse stones for soft materials. 

When grinding, should surface of the stone become “loaded” (coated with particles of the material being ground) it is probably the

wrong grade of stone for the job.

Grinding stones MUST 

Only be assembled by a person holding a grinding wheel certificate.  

See chapter 4.
