8.1 INSTALLATION
Choose a location that is level, flat and with a lot of natural light.
The
bench grinder
should be operated on a work bench that is high enough to prevent any
injury caused by working in an uncomfortable position; but not too high that the work piece
cannot be safely viewed from above.
WARNING!
Bending over or having your neck bent for too long (from looking down) can
lead to fatigue injuries.
The environment will have a negative result on its operation if you are not careful. If the air
is damp, components will rust. If the machine is unprotected from dust and debris;
components will become clogged: And if not cleaned and maintained correctly or regularly
the machine will not perform at its best.
The work bench should offer enough space around the bench grinder for all possible
applications and to house any accessories.
Although the
bench grinder
has been assembled in the factory, some final assembly and
adjustments will be required before it can be used. The fine setup will come from
experimenting with your new
bench grinder
and making small adjustments.
8.2 BENCH MOUNTING YOUR GRINDER
Securely bolt the bench grinder to a work bench or other secure surface through the various
points in the base (fixings are not supplied).
Ensure there is enough clear space around the grinder to accommodate large items which
may be ground, i.e., garden tools, etc. To reduce any vibration, mount the grinder on a
vibration absorption mat.
