Turn on the grinder and wait until it reaches full speed before you start grinding.
Use the tool rest to keep the work piece steady. Keep a steady even pressure on the
work piece and keep moving it from side to side at even pace for smooth grinding and
to avoid uneven wheel wear. Do not push too hard because this may overheat the
motor and prematurely wear down the wheels, work slowly.
Note the original grind angle on the item you are sharpening/grindring and try to keep
the same angle. Make sure the grinding wheel always rotates down onto the object
you are grinding to avoid injury. Obtain a tray with water and place it next to the grinder
to dip your work to keep from overheating or burning as this will weaken the metal.
WARNING: For your own safety, make sure switch is OFF and unplugged from the
power source before doing any maintenance or adjustments. Replace the power cord
immediately if it is cut, worn, or damaged in any way.
Under normal use, grinding wheels may become cracked, chipped, grooved or packed
with debris from materials being cut.
If a wheel cracks or chips replace it immediately.
New wheels occasionally require dressing to remedy out of round conditions.
If replacing a wheel make sure it is replaced with the same wheel and specs as the
existing wheel. Maintain the existing sequence of retaining hardware. For your own
safety make sure grinder is unplugged before attempting any repairs.
Your bench grinder can be used for polishing and buffing, you can obtain these wheels
from most hardware stores.
WARNING: The use of any other accessories is not recommended because it may
result in serious injury.
