Assembly
Caution: Do not attempt assembly if parts are missing.
Warning: To avoid injury, do not attempt to run or use this machine until all parts are assembled and working properly.
• DO NOT assemble the Bench Grinder until you are sure the tool IS NOT plugged in.
• DO NOT assemble the Bench Grinder until you are sure the power switch is in the “OFF” position.
• DO NOT assemble the Bench Grinder until you are sure the grinding wheels are firmly tightened to the Bench Grinder.
Tool rest assembly
1. Place tool rest over guard and secure in position with flat washer bolt.
2. Position tool rest so that distance between tool rest and grinding wheel is 1/16˝ or less. Reposition angle of tool rest if necessary. Secure all bolts.
Spark deflector and eyeshield assembly
1. Attach spark deflector to left wheel guard using 5mm flat washer , 5mm lock washer and 5-0.8 x 10mm pan head screw. Make sure spark deflector is 1/4˝
or less away from grinding wheel.
2. Attach eyeshield support to left wheel guard using support plate.
3. Attach eyeshield to eyeshield support using bracket assembly.
4. Position eyeshield as desired and secure all knobs and bolts.
Work light
The Bench Grinder is provided with a Flexible Work Light to assist in visibility of the workpiece.
Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, use a 120 volt, 40 Watt or less Track Light Bulb, Type R20, medium base or equivalent (not included). Do NOT use a light bulb
that extends past the end of the light housing.
Warning: The Flexible Work Light housing will remain hot for a few minutes after turning it “OFF”. Avoid contact with housing until it is cool.
Installation
All electrical connections must be performed by a qualified electrician.
Mount grinder
• Mount grinder to a solid horizontal surface (hardware not provided). If mounted to metal pedestal, align mounting holes with corresponding holes in ped
-
estal. Insert a 1/4-20 x 11⁄4˝ hex head bolt with flat washer through base of grinder. From bottom of pedestal, place a 1/4˝ flat washer and 1/4˝-20 hex nut
onto bolt extension. Tighten only until space between grinder base and pedestal is 1/8˝. Using second nut on each bolt, jam tighten against the first to prevent
loosening by vibration.
• To mount grinder to wooden bench top, use 1/4 x 3/4˝ wood screws with flat washers beneath heads. Tighten screws until space between grinder base and
bench top is 1/8˝.
Power source
The motor is designed for operation on the voltage and frequency specified. Normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not more than 10% above or below
the specified voltage.
Running the unit on voltages which are not within the range may cause over heating and motor burn-out. Heavy loads require that the voltage at motor ter
-
minals be no less than the voltage specified.
Power supply to the motor is controlled by a double pole locking rocker switch. Remove the key to prevent unauthorized use.
Grounding
Improper connection of equipment grounding conductor can result in the risk of electrical shock. Equipment should be grounded while in use to protect op
-
erator from electrical shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if grounding instructions are not understood or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Warning: Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug when installing or removing from outlet.
Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify plug provided. If it will not fit in outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized service facility.
Extension cords
• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in voltage and loss of power.
• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
• Use the table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool plug.
• If the extension cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, replace it immediately.
