Installing/replacing abrasives
See Figure 5-5.
Disc:
Clean disc surface of aluminum drive wheel.
If replacing an abrasive, clean old adhesive from
drive wheel with a solvent. Peel off backing and
apply new abrasive (A), centering it on drive wheel.
Belt:
Push contact wheel backward (B) and engage
catch (C) to lock in place. Install belt, making sure
directional arrows printed on back of belt match
direction of belt movement. Pull catch (C) upward to
tension belt.
If belt has a lap joint, make sure belt is oriented
according to Figure 5-5, inset.

Electrical connections
Electrical connections should
be made by a qualified electrician in compliance
with all relevant codes. This tool must be
properly grounded.
The models
JBGM-6 and JBGM-8
Bench Grinders
with Multitool Attachment are prewired for 115V
power, and are supplied with a plug designed for
use on a circuit with a grounded outlet that looks like
the one pictured in A, Figure 6-1.
Before connecting to power source, be sure switch
is in
off
position.
It is recommended that the grinder be connected to
a 15 amp circuit with circuit breaker or fuse.
Local
codes take precedence over recommendations.

Grounding instructions
1. All Grounded, Cord-connected Tools:
This tool must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with
an electric cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified
electrician or service pe
r
sonnel if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded. Failure to comply may cause serious
or fatal injury.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use
on a supply circuit having a nominal rating
less than
150
volts:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in
A,
Figure
6-1. An adapter, shown in
B
and
C
, may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in
B
if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician.
This adapter is not permitted in
Canada.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the
like, extending from the adapter must be connected
to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box.
