Installing Eye Shields
TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY.
Remove the steel strip from the top surface of each eye shield by removing
the two screws. Install the shields, (they are identical and will fit either side)
to the brackets, as shown in Figure 3. Tighten screws securely. Adjust eye
shields so they are between the wheels and your eyes.
EYE SHIELDS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO REPLACE SAFETY GLASSES.
Tighten the shields in place by tightening the plastic knob in the bracket
assembly. Remove protective paper cover.
Operating Instructions
To operate the grinder, put on safety glasses and turn the tool on. Allow it to
reach full speed (3600 RPM for 1788, 3450 RPM for 1766) before grinding.
Hold the workpiece firmly and against the tool rest. Hold very small pieces
with pliers or other suitable clamps. Feed the work smoothly and evenly into
the grinding wheel. Move the work slowly and avoid jamming the work
against the wheel. As the wheel tends to slow down you should occasionally
release the pressure to let the wheel return to full speed.
Grind only on face of the grinding wheel and never the side of it. (Some
wheels are designed for side grinding and will say so on their blotters.)
CAUTION: Prolonged grinding will cause most materials to become hot. Use
care when handling them.
Lubrication
Bench grinder spindles are mounted on ball bearings. No periodic lubrication
is required.

IMPORTANT!
To assure product safety and reliability, particularly for double insulated
tools, repairs, maintenance and adjustment (excluding maintenance
described in this manual) should be performed by B&D service centers or
authorized service centers, using identical B&D replacement parts.
Bench Mounting
TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY.
Mounting the grinder securely to a bench is strongly recommended in order
