GRINDING WHEELS
For best grinding results and maintaining good balance, always
keep the wheels properly dressed.
Never force a workpiece against a cold wheel. Use light pressure
until the wheel becomes warm.
BASIC GRINDER OPERATIONS
WARNING! Never start the tool with the operator or bystander
in line with the grinding wheel. A damaged grinding wheel
could shatter and the debris may cause an injury.
WARNING!
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shields during operation of any power tool. If the
operation is dusty, wear the appropriate protective mask.
Because grinders can remove material rapidly, a freshly dressed
wheel and the amount of workpiece pressure applied to the
wheel are keys to efficient grinding. Use the following basic
guidelines to aid in working metals and avoid overheating.
1. Never force the workpiece against the grinding wheel.
Pressing too hard overheats the motor and prematurely
wears down the grinding wheel.
2. Lay the workpiece against the universal support (D) and
ease it into the grinding wheel. Do not push the point or
edge into the wheel as it may catch and the workpiece may
be pulled for the user’s grasp.
3. Always keep the workpiece constantly moving against the
grinding wheel with light pressure and even motion.
4. Deburring the edge is done best by using the grinder to
pull burrs from the edge across the bevel angle. Note the
original bevel angle on the item to be sharpened and try to
maintain that angle.
5. Do not grind using the sides of a grinding wheel.
