Use of Extension Cords
USE ONLY THREE-WIRED EXTENSION CORDS that have 3-pronged plugs and 3-holed outlets that accept the tool’s plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn
cords immediately.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Do not use damaged extension cords. Always replace a dwamaged extension cord.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line volt
-
age, resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use according to the cord length and the amperage draw of the tool
(specified on the nameplate). When in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. (AWG = American Wire Gauge).

Not Recommended
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit should not be less than a #12 gauge wire, and should be protected with a 5 A time-lag fuse. Before
connecting the motor to the power line, ensure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the mo
-
tor’s nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor and is not covered by warranty.
Before You Start – Assembly and Installation
Mounting the Grinder to the Workbench
Before attempting to use this grinder, it must be properly mounted to a workbench or grinding stand.
CAUTION! Bench grinders vibrate. Grinder movement during high-speed rotation may cause injury or damage to the workpiece or operator. Mount the
grinder securely to a sturdy workbench or grinding stand.
1. Position the grinder on the workbench.
2. Mark the workbench through the two mounting holes located in the grinder base.
3. Drill holes in the workbench at the marks.
4. Using two long bolts, washers, lock-washers and nuts, as shown (not supplied), secure
the grinder to the workbench (See Figure II).
Eye Shield Installation
Eye shields must be installed before operating the bench grinder.
1. Mount the left and right shield rods to the inside of the wheel guards using hex bolts.
2. Once shield rods are firmly in place, slide the shield bracket onto the shield.
3.
Tighten the carriage bolt, leaving it loose enough to allow the safety shield to be raised and lowered easily. (See Figures II to IV).
NOTE: The eye shield should move freely when being adjusted, but stay in place when the locking knob is tightened.
WARNING! Turn the power off and remove the plug from the outlet before changing the grinding wheels. When turning the grinder on with a newly installed
wheel, DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF THE GRINDER. Stand to the side and allow the grinder to run for at least one minute before proceeding to use it.
Installing or Changing the Wheel
1. Loosen the tool rest hex nuts and slide the tool rest away from the wheel.
2. Use a screwdriver to remove the wheel-cover screws and remove the wheel cover.
3. Fit an appropriately sized wrench on the spindle hex nut.
4. Loosen the wheel nut in a clockwise direction for the left side and a counter-clockwise direction for the right side.
5. Remove the outer flange and grinding wheel. To remove the hex nut, turn the wrench and nut until the wrench is resting on the workbench behind the tool.
6. Inspect the new wheel carefully to ensure there are no cracks, chips or other damage.
7. Wipe the flange surfaces clean, and install the new wheel, flange and the spindle hex nut.
8. To install a new grinding wheel, reverse the above procedure.
9. Be sure the grinding wheel and outer flange are properly seated on the spindle shaft.
10. Replace the wheel cover and reposition the tool rest.
11. The tool rest, spark deflector and eye shields will need to be readjusted after installation of the wheel is complete.
12. When turning the grinder on with a newly installed wheel, DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF THE GRINDER. Stand to the side and allow the grinder to run for at
least one minute before proceeding to use it.
