Cleaning and maintenance

The grinding wheel should rotate “into” the object being sharpened.
NOTE:
Excessive pressure may damage the tool, cause the motor to overheat, and
prematurely wear down the grinding wheel.
ON/OFF Switch (Figure 8)
Plug the device in a power outlet.
The bench grinder features a front access ON/OFF switch (13) for convenience and
safety. After switching on the equipment wait for the equipment to reach its maxi-
mum speed of rotation before commencing with the sanding/grinding work.
Sharpening twist drill bits (Figure 9)
Drill bits are best sharpened on a sharpening jig (available at most hardware stores).
Begin on one side of the point at the existing angle, then twist the bit while maintain-

This technique requires considerable practice, so take your time and make a few
“dry runs” first with the grinder off. Be sure to maintain the original cutting edge
angle as this is important to the efficiency of your bits.
Sharpening chisels and screwdriver blades (Figure 10)
When sharpening chisels and screwdrivers, work rest should support the chisel at
the correct angle against the wheel.
