Tool Rest Adjustment

1. Adjust the tool rest to the desired grinding angle. Keep the tool rest approximately 1/16” away

from the surface of the grinding wheel in order to provide appropriate workpiece support.

Shield Adjustment

1. Place the workpiece on the tool rest and fold down the eye shield. Ensure that there is adequate

clearance for the workpiece and clear line of sight for operation through the shield.

Before Each Use

⚠WARNING

 Always check for damaged or worn out parts before using the benchtop grinder.

 The benchtop grinder needs to be bolted to the work surface before you start to operate it.

Operating Instructions

⚠WARNING

 Always wear eye protection.

 Only use accessories rated at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the tool.

 Do not modify the tool in any way.

 Do not wear gloves, jewelry, or loose clothing.

 Do not use a cracked or chipped grinding wheel.

 Bolt down benchtop grinder before using.

 Do not use in the rain or in a damp location.

 Never reach to pick up a workpiece, a piece of scrap, or anything else that is in or near the

grinding path of the wheel.

 Never stand, or have any part of your body in line with the path of the wheel.

 If a dull thud occurs do not use the wheel! This means the wheel has been damaged and will,

most likely, come apart during normal operations.

 Do not over tighten wheel nut. Excessive tightening can cause the wheel to crack during

operation.

 Always use the grinder’s wheel guards and safety shields.

 ADJUST DISTANCE BETWEEN WHEEL AND TOOL REST to maintain 1/16 in. or less separation

as the diameter of the wheel decreases with use. The value of separation used in the marking is to

be the separation recommended by the manufacturer but shall not be more than 1/8 inch.

 When starting to grind, a harsh impact can break the wheel. Use light pressure when starting to

grind; too much pressure on a cold wheel can cause the wheel to crack.

 Never start the grinder when the wheel is in contact with the workpiece.

 Always hold workpiece ﬁrmly against the tool rest.
