Rotate the wheel 90° and repeat the
c.
test until the entire wheel has been
checked.
An undamaged wheel will give a
d.
clear tone. If cracked, there will be a
dead sound and not a clear ring.
General Operating instructions
turning the Grinder on and off
Check that the Power Switch (42) is
1.
off and that no objects are in contact
with, or near, the wheels.
Fill the Water Reservoir (22) with
2.
enough clean water so that up to 3/4”
of the side of the wheel is wet when
the wheel is rotated (approx. 6 to 8
oz.).
With dry hands, plug the unit into a
3.
GFCI outlet.
Turn the Power Switch on.
4.
When finished using the Grinder, turn
5.
the Power Switch off and unplug the
unit.
emptying the Water reservoir
To empty the Water Reservoir (22) of
water:
Slide a shallow bowl which can hold
a.
at least 8 oz. of water, under the
Water Reservoir and twist and pull
off the Plug (25) at the bottom of the
Reservoir.
When all the water is drained out
b.
of the Reservoir, slide the bowl out
from under the unit and replace the
Plug.
Discard the water in a safe location.
c.
Do not pour the water down a drain
as it may contain particles which can
clog plumbing.
Dressing the Wheel
Dressing is the process of removing
built-up, dull particles from the
surface of the wheel, exposing the
original sharp abrasive particles, thus
restoring the surface of the wheel.
Dressing is an important process
in preparing a new wheel before
first use because the surface may
have stray particles from the factory
which will affect the surface. It is
also important as a maintenance
procedure to clean off build-up on
the wheel during use. You will need
a grinding wheel dresser (sold
separately) for this operation.
note:
Stand to the side of the wheel and
wear a face shield to protect against
flying sparks.
If the wheel is new, let it run for a full
6.
minute with no load.
If you are using a “pistol grip” dresser,
7.
grip the handle firmly with one hand,
and the arm of the dresser with the
other. Allow the wheel to reach full
speed. Use the tool rest to support
your hand and the dresser, and apply
to the wheel evenly to all surfaces.
If you are using an “in-line” dresser,
8.
hold the handle firmly, put the dresser
on the tool rest so that its wheels can
move freely (the exposed parts of
the wheel should be facing up). Let
the wheel reach full speed and apply
the dresser evenly to all surfaces
used for grinding. There is no tool
rest on the wet wheel, but the lower
speed still allows for easy, free-hand
dressing.
