4. Adjust the spark guard to place its lower edge about 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) away from the grinding wheel face.
5. Adjust the eye shield bracket as well to accept and hold the eye shield correctly.
6. Rotate the wheel by hand at least one revolution to ensure the wheel turns without contacting with the spark
guard. Fully tighten the locking knob (Q) to secure the spark guard and eye shield bracket onto the wheel guard.
7. Place a star lock washer (v), a small flat washer (i), and the eye shield (M) onto the threaded shaft of the eye
shield locking knob (N).
8. Screw and tighten all securely onto the eye shield bracket (P).
9. Repeat the steps above to attach the right spark guard (R) and eye shield onto the right wheel guard of the
grinder.
ATTACH AND ADJUST TOOL RESTS
Tool rests are required for each grinding wheel to support the work piece during the grinding operation.
WARNING! Never use any bench grinder on which tool rests have not been attached or if the tool rests have not
been correctly adjusted.
NOTE: The left and right tool rests are different. The tool rest with an angled v-groove (F) is the left side tool rest.
When it is properly mounted, with the slotted portion of the tool rest bolted flush to the bracket on the wheel guard,
each tool rest will be positioned directly before the face of the grinding wheel.
1. Hold the left tool rest (F) in the correct position against the tool rest bracket on left wheel guard.
2. Insert a tool rest bolt (vi) through tool rest bracket portion of the wheel guard and tool rest (F), followed by a
small flat washer (i), a small lock washer (iii), and finally the tool rest locking knob (D).
3. Tighten the locking knob (D) sufficiently to hold the tool rest while still allowing the tool rest to slide toward and
away from the wheel face.
4. Push the tool rest to slide within a maximum of 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) from the wheel. Turn the grinding wheel by
hand at least one complete revolution, checking that the wheel does not contact the tool rest.
5. Turn the locking knob tight to hold the tool rest in place.
6. Repeat the above assembly steps 1 to 5 for the right tool rest (S).
MOUNT THE BENCH GRINDER
If, while the bench grinder is running, it shows any tendency to slide, “walk”, or to tip over, then you must fasten the
grinder to a work bench or other supporting surface using bolts or screws (not supplied) through the two mounting
holes (E) in the grinder base.
Before permanently mounting the grinder to a work bench or other surface, try to determine the best mounting
position for it. A series of test runs with items that will typically be sharpened or ground on the grinder (e.g. lawn
mower blades, scissors, knives, wood chisels, wood turning tools, etc.) can be made without the grinder actually
turned on and may help determine, for instance, how near the work bench edge the grinder should be mounted so
that the bench top does interfere with grinding operations. The work bench or grinder pedestal to which the bench
grinder will be mounted must be flat, level, and sturdy enough to bear the weight of the grinder, other tools, and the
material being worked during use.
