Tools required for assembly
Cross-point (Phillips) screwdriver
14mm (or adjustable) wrench
The JIGM-8 Grinder with Multitool Attachment
requires only the assembly of the left-hand eye
shield and tool rest. Additional tools may be
needed for fastening the grinder to a workbench or
stand. For your safety, do not plug the grinder into
a power source until all assembly and adjustments
are complete.
Be sure that the bench grinder
is unplugged and the power switch is in the
OFF position. Do not plug in the grinder to
power until it is inspected for shipping damage
and fully assembled. Failure to comply may
cause serious injury.
Do not operate this grinder
without all guards and shields in place and in
working order. Failure to comply may cause
serious injury.
Chipped or cracked wheels
can break up and cause serious damage to the
grinder and/or severe injury to the operator.
Regularly inspect wheels for damage.

Securing the grinder
To prevent the grinder from moving during
operation, it should be securely mounted to a work
surface or grinder stand. Fasteners for mounting
are not included with the grinder.
1. Align the mounting holes on the grinder with
predrilled holes in a bench or grinder stand.
Figure 4-1 shows hole centers for mounting.
2. Insert M8 (or 5/16”) bolts through the holes
and tighten, using washers and nuts.
An optional pedestal stand (not included) is
available from JET for your grinder. See
sect. 11.0.
