WARNING:
For your own safety, turn switch “OFF” and remove
plug from power source outlet before adjusting and maintaining
your bench grinder. If power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in
any way, have it replaced immediately.
CARE FOR GRINDING WHEELS
In normal use, grinding wheels may become cracked, grooved,
rounded at the edges, chipped, out of true or loaded with foreign
material. Cracked wheels should be replaced IMMEDIATELY.
WHEEL REPLACEMENT
If you must replace a wheel, be sure to obtain one with a safe rated
speed as high as the RPM marked on your grinders nameplate and
with a 5/8” center hole. A 8” diameter wheel should be a maximum of 1”
wide. Check new wheels for cracks and maintain the existing sequence
of retaining hardware. Be sure the tool is unplugged before attempting
repairs. Your bench grinder will accept most polishing and buffing
wheels.
To replace the grinding wheel:
1. Turn the power switch to “OFF” and unplug the power cord from the
power source.
2. Move eyeshields to “UP” position for easy access to the tool rests.
3. Remove the wheel cover by loosening the 3 screws holding the wheel
cover to the bench grinder.
4. Using a small wooden wedge, place it between the abrasive wheel and
the tool rest to prevent the wheel from turning.
5. With a 3/4” wrench, loosen the wheel nut in a clockwise direction for
the left side and a counterclockwise direction for the right side.
6. Remove the outer flange and grinding wheel from the arbor shaft.
7. Replace with grinding wheels that are rated at a higher RPM rating than
the bench grinder.
NOTE:
DO NOT remove the label on the side of the abrasive wheel. Be
sure the grinding wheel and both flanges are properly seated on the
spindle shaft.
8. To install a new grinding wheel, reverse the removal procedure.
NOTE:
DO NOT over tighten the lock nut as this may cause damage to the
grinding wheel and may cause personal injury to the operator.

grinding wheels slowly and inspect for damaged or trapped debris
and dust build up. Use a clean dry rag or brush to remove debris
or dust build up.

NO LUBRICATION is required. Your bench grinder has sealed
lubrication bearings in the motor housing.
