GRINDER OPERATION
The bench grinder is designed for hand held grinding, sharpening, and cleaning operations.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION!
Hot sparks are produced during grinding operations.

The power switch must be in the “OFF” position.
2.
Make sure the spark guards and tool rests are set 1/16” from the grinding wheels. Before starting the machine,
turn the grinding wheel by hand one full turn to make certain the wheels to do not come into contact with the
spark guards or tools rests.
3.
Stand to the side of the bench grinder and plug in the power cord to the correct power source.

Allow the grinding wheels to come up to a steady speed for at least one minute.
6.
Adjust the eye shields as needed and place the workpiece on the appropriate tool rest for the desired operation.
7.
Slowly move the workpiece towards the grinding wheel until it lightly touches. Move the workpiece back and
forth across the front surface of the grinding wheel removing the amount of material desired. NEVER GRIND
ON THE SIDES OF THE GRINDING WHEELS.
8.
For drill bits, lay the drill bit flat in the “V” groove. Firmly hold on to the dril bit shank. Slide the drill bit toward
the grinding wheel until it lightly touches. Keep the drill bit flat to the plate and rotate the drill bit.

minutes for the grinding wheels to come a complete stop.
