The heavy, cast grinder base is designed to absorb and reduce vibration. It has 2 mounting holes to allow it to be
firmly mounted with bolts or screws to a work bench or other surface so it does not move in operation.
Two work lights with flexible necks allow the operator to shine light at a correct angle to see critical edge formation.
Spark guards provide a barrier to the free dispersal of sparks, chips, and debris travelling with the rotation of the
wheel. They prevent this debris from spraying all over the work area and the operator. To make the best use of the
protection they can afford the operator, adjust them as necessary to a max. 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) above the face of the
grinding wheels, no matter the amount of wear on them.
Tool rests are meant to provide a stable base on which to rest your work as close to wheel as possible and to give
you the most control over the work piece. They are designed to slide in and out, allowing them to be adjusted
correctly at 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) max. from the face of the grinding wheel, as the wheel diameter shrinks due to wear.
The left tool rest has a groove formed in it to provide a guide for the sharpening of drill bits.
Eye shields provide a see-through first barrier of protection for your eyes and face from debris generated during
grinding operations. They should be adjusted as close to the grinding surface as possible. They are not a substitute
for proper approved safety goggles, safety glasses with side shields, or a full face shield. Do not operate your
grinder using only the eye shields as protection.
