WARNING
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE WARNINGS COULD RE SULT IN IN JU RY.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
1. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If tool is equipped with three-prong plug,
it should be plugged into a three-hole electrical receptacle. If an
adapter is used to accommodate two-prong receptacle, the
adapter wire must be attached to a known ground. Never remove
the third prong.
2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
3. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of
checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from tool before turning it on.
4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite
accidents.
5. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t expose power tools to
rain. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet lo ca tions. Keep your
work area well illuminated.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe distance
from work area.
7. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks, master switches,
or by removing starter keys.
8. DON’T FORCE TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for
which it was not designed.
9. USE RIGHT TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry to get caught in mov ing parts. Nonslip
ASSEMBLY
Tool Rests
Attach the left and right tool rests with the four 5/8" bolts and large
washers. Adjust the rests for a distance of 1/16-inch from the surface of
the grinding wheel.
Spark Breakers
Attach the spark breakers with the two 5/16" bolts and medium washers.
Adjust the spark breaker for a dis tance of 1/16" from the surface of the
grinding wheel. Spark Breakers should be installed perpendicular to the
grinding wheel. If these are not installed properly, it is an OSHA violation.
See picture on page 5.
Eyeshields
Select one of the eyeshields. Put its clamp into one of the spark breaker
brackets. Adjust eyeshield to be lo cat ed in the middle of wheel to protect
operator from sparks.
Final Assembly
Fasten the grinder to the workbench, stand or cabinet. Two holes are
provided in the base of the bench grinder so that suitable length bolts
can be inserted to attach the grinder securely and prevent it from moving
during operation
BENCH MOUNTING
Mounting the grinder on a bench is required in order to prevent
movement of the grinder when pres sure is applied against a wheel.
First, slide rubber feet on both sides and in the middle of the grinder base.
Then drill 2 holes for 1/4" wood screws or bolts in the bench. Use 1/4"
wood screws or bolts, and tighten down only enough to partially compress
rubber feet (about 1/16"). The rubber feet will not be effective in absorbing
vi bra tion if fully compressed. When using 1/4" bolts, a second nut is required
to lock against the first nut and keep grinder from loosening during operation.
Never operate the grinder without the rubber feet attached to its base.
footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
11. USE SAFETY GLASSES (USERS AND BYSTANDERS). Also always
use hearing protection and face or dust mask.
12. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is
tipped or if cutting tool is accidently contacted.
13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION. Follow in
struc
tions for
lu bri cat ing and changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories.
16. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner’s manual
for recommended accessories. Use of improper accessories may
be hazardous.
17. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure switch is off before
plugging in cord.
18. Vibration, repetitive motions or uncomfortable positions over
extended periods of time may be harmful to hands and arms.
Discontinue use of tool if discomfort, tingling feeling or pain
occurs. Seek medical advice before resuming use.
NOTE: The warnings and cautions discussed in this instruction
manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that
may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common
sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this
product, but must be supplied by the operator.
OPERATION
A bench grinder is designed for hand grinding op
er
a
tions such as
sharpening chisels or screwdrivers, grind
ing drills, removing excess
metal from work, and smooth ing metal surfaces. A medium grain abrasive
grinding wheel is suitable for rough grinding where a con sid er able amount
of metal has to be removed or where a smooth finish is not important. For
sharp en ing tools or grinding to close limits of size, a fine grain wheel should
be used as it removes metal slower and gives the work a smooth finish.
NOTE: Always use guards and eye shields. Always wear safety glasses
when operating this grinder (user and bystanders).
1. Adjust the eyeshield
2. Check for a 1/16" clearance between the tool rests and the grinding
wheels, and between the spark break ers and the grinding wheels.
Adjust as need ed. Always keep the tool rest adjusted so that it just
clears the wheel and is at the same level or just below the cen ter line
of the wheel to pre vent accidental jam ming of work be tween the tool
rest and the wheel.
3. Turn the grinder on and let it come up to speed.
CAUTION: When starting the grinder, turn it on and stand to one side
until the grinder has come up to speed. There is always the possibility
that a piece from a damaged grind ing wheel may be thrown off when
coming to full speed.
4. When grinding, always keep the work moving across the face of the
wheel. Grinding against the same spot on the wheel will cause grooves
to be worn into the face of the wheel.
5.
When it is necessary to reshape the grinding wheels, use the
proper tools. After reshaping, adjust the tool rests and spark breakers
as needed to maintain the 1/16" clearance from the wheel.
