ASSEMBLY
Installing the grinder assembly onto the stand
Note: To avoid tipping over or sliding during operations, the bench grinder
should be secured to the supplied stand.
1. The grinder base comes with 4 mounting holes in its base, position the
grinder onto the top flat surface of the stand (A) Fig.8 and secure the
grinder to the stand using hex. bolts.
Installing the quench tray onto the stand
Note: The quench tray is supplied to cool the workpiece during and after the
grinding operation.
1. Secure the quench tray and support (B) Fig.8 to the leg (C) of the stand
using two hex. bolts and spring washers.
2. Fill the quench tray with water, do not over fill. Do not use any liquid other
than water.
Changing grinding wheels
WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental starting, always turn the switch
off and unplug the machine from the power source before changing grinding
wheels.
NOTE: Inspect the new grinding wheel for cracks or other visible signs of
damage. Discard the grinding wheel if any damage is found.
1. Remove the corresponding wheel guard cover (A) Fig.9.
2. Position the tool rest and the eye shield assemblies away from the
grinding wheel.
3. Undo the hex. nut (B), remove the outer flange (C) and slide off the old
grinding wheel (D).
4. Make sure the inner flange (E) is in position, then install a new grinding
wheel, secure it with the outer flange and hex. nut. Do not overtighten to
avoid cracking the new grinding wheel. Note: NEVER install a grinding
wheel on the arbor without paper or fiber discs between the grinding
wheel and the flanges. Not using the discs can put stress on the grinding
wheel, causing it to crack and possibly fall apart.
5. Reinstall the wheel guard cover and reposition the tool rest and eye shield
assemblies.
Installing T-fitting and adapter to dust vents
NOTE: When ever possible it is recommended to connect a dust collector to
the bench grinder T-fitting adapter. This will minimize health hazards.
1. Fit the accordian tube (F) to the dust vents at the rear of the wheel guards,
refer to #1 in Fig.9.
2. Insert the 2-1/2” dust chute adapter (G) into the accordian tube (F).
Connect your dust collector hose or fitting to the dust chute adapter.
