Mounting the grinder
The grinder is provided with rubber pads to help
prevent movement on a bench. For best results,
however, it is recommended the grinder be bolted
to the work surface or a grinder stand (fasteners
not included).
1. Align mounting holes on grinder with predrilled
holes in a bench or grinder stand. Refer to
Figure 2 for hole spacing.
2. Insert bolts through the holes, and tighten
using washers and nuts.
Figure 2: mounting holes

Exhaust ports
A collection system designed for metal dust and
swarf can be connected to the two exhaust ports at
rear of grinder.
Do not connect a dust
collector designed for wood dust and shavings
to the bench grinder, as this can pose a fire
hazard. Use only a dust capture system
designed for metal dust and swarf.

Assembling eye shield brackets
to spark guards
Refer to Figure 3.
Note:
Spark guards (A) and Brackets (D) are
marked
L
for left side assembly and
R
for right side
assembly.
1. Assemble the left spark guard (A) and eye
shield bracket (D) using Figure 3 as a guide.
Make sure spark guard and bracket are
marked
L
.
2. Install the right assembly in the same manner.

6.7
Installing spark guards/brackets
Refer to Figure 4.
1. Install the left spark guard and bracket to the
left wheel housing with two 1/4 x 3/8 hex cap
screws (L) and two 1/4 flat washers (M).
2. The spark guard should be adjusted to within
1/16" of the grinding wheel surface or other
accessory being used.
3. Install the right spark guard and bracket in the
same manner.
Note:
As the wheel wears down, the spark guards
should be readjusted to maintain the 1/16" distance
from wheel.
6.8
Eye shields
Refer to Figure 4.
The eye shields (T) are identical and will fit on
either side of the grinder.
1. Insert two 3/16 x 3/8 pan head screws (K)
through the eye shield bracket, eye shield (T),
and eye shield plate (G) which contains
threaded holes.
2. Tighten the screws (K).
6.9
Tool rests
Refer to Figure 4.
Note:
There is a
left
and a
right
tool rest. Refer to
Figure 4 to ensure that you install them correctly.
(The beveled edge of tool rest faces the wheel.)
1. Install the left tool rest bracket (Q) by threading
two 5/16 x 3/4 hex cap screws (H) through two
5/16 flat washers (J) and the tool rest bracket
(Q) into the wheel housing.
2. Place the tool rest (O) over the bracket (Q) so
that the scale is seen through the cutout.
Secure with knob (S).
3. Install the right tool rest in the same manner.
