INSTALLING THE EYE SHIELDS
Turn off and unplug the bench grinder. Remove all remaining parts from the plastic bag.
NOTE:
There is a left and a right eye shield mounting rod. Examine the figure closely to ensure that
you are installing them correctly.
The one pictured in Figure 3 is for the right wheel guard as you face the front of the tool.
Carefully examine Figure 3 and assemble one rod, one bracket, one bolt and one flat washer as
shown. When it has been assembled as shown in the figure, install it to the wheel guard of the
grinder.
Position it with the arm high, as shown in Figure 4. and
tighten the bolt securely.
NOTE
: The eye shields are identical and will fit properly on either side of the grinder. However it may
be necessary to loosen the center hex nut in order to slip the shield over the mounting rod.
After you have assembled and installed each eye shield mounting rod to the grinder, attach the eye
shields to the rods as shown in Figure 5.
Install them in such a way that the three hex nuts on each eye shield are on the back side away from
the operator when the tool is in use.
Tighten the center hex nut so that the shield can be moved, but will be tight enough to stay in place.
Always position the eye shields between your eyes and the grinding wheel or other accessory being
used.
