NOTE: Do not remove the cardboard discs (blotters) from the sides of a new wheel
because they work with the flanges to hold and secure the wheel on the arbor.
Inspect the new wheel for cracks or other visible signs of damage. Discard
the wheel if any such damage is found.
Two end plates will need to be removed for wheel changes.
To avoid injury from accidental starting, always turn the switch off and unplug the machine from the power
source before changing the wheels.

MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
The Bench Grinder has sealed lubricated bearings in the motor housing that do not require any additional lubrication.
CAUTION:
Remove and replace grinding wheels if there is any damage at all. FAILURE to replace a damaged
wheel can cause serious injury to the operator.
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS to clean the Bench Grinder. A clean dry rag or brush is all that is
needed to remove dust and debris buildup.
Turn the power switch “OFF” and unplug the power cord from its power source prior to any maintenance.
Repairs to the Bench Grinder should be performed by qualified and trained personnel only. Contact your nearest
General International dealer for authorized service. Unauthorized repairs or replacement with non-factory parts
could cause serious injury to the operator, damage to the Bench Grinder and void the warranty.
