2. Use a vacuum or low-pressure compressed air to
remove dust and debris from the tool surfaces, motor
housing and work area.
3. Wipe the tool surfaces clean with a soft cloth or
brush. Make sure water does not get into the tool.
4. Store the tool in a clean and dry place away from the
reach of children. Store in temperatures between 41° to
86°F.
5. Cover the tool in order to protect it from dust and
moisture. It is preferable to store it in its original pack-
aging with the instruction manual and all accessories.
LUBRICATION
All bearings on your bench grinder are permanently lu-
bricated and require no additional lubrication.
DRESSING THE GRINDING WHEEL
Dress the grinding wheel periodically using dressing
tools (sold separately) to restore or adjust the wheel’s
abrasiveness. Follow the instructions that are included
with your dressing tools and accessories to properly
dress the grinding wheel.
Using a dressing stone with a coarse/smooth face:
• To remove larger amount of materials quickly, dress
the wheel for coarse grinding. Apply the coarse
face of the dressing stone to the grinding wheel to
roughen the wheel’s surface.
• For fine grinding, apply the smooth face of the
dressing stone to the grinding wheel to create a
finer surface.
REPLACING THE GRINDING WHEEL
Grinding wheels should be inspected for any damage
or cracking before each use. Store the grinding wheels
to prevent them from the potential hazards of moisture,
containments and other damage. Replacement 6-inch
grinding wheels (Part No's 4276-015 and 4276-036)
can be purchased from
wenproducts.com
.
MAINTENANCE
Please recycle the packaging and
electronic components where facilities
exist.
NOTE:
The lock nuts are self-tightening. The left
wheel is left-hand threaded and the right wheel is
right-hand threaded. This means that on the left
wheel you turn the nut right to loosen, and on the
right wheel you turn the nut left to loosen.
4. Remove the outer flange and the wheel. Place the
new wheel onto the spindle.
5. Replace the outer flange (so the large ring surface
touches the wheel) and the lock nut. Tighten the lock
nut by hand. Snug it up with a wrench if desired.
WARNING!
NEVER use an impact driver or im-
pact wrench to tighten the nuts. An overtightened
nut could crack the grinding wheel and cause a haz-
ard.
6. Replace the wheel cover and secure with screws.
