Unpacking Separate all parts from the packing material. Check each part against the Contents of the Shipping Container and make certain that all items are accounted for before discarding any packing material.
Assembly Your bench grinder requires only the assembly of the eye shields and tool rests. For your safety, do not plug the grinder into a power source until all adjustments are complete. An adjustable wrench and a Phillips screwdriver are the only tools you will need to make all normal adjustments and wheel changes on this grinder. Be sure that the bench grinder is unplugged and the power switch is in the OFF position.
Installing the Spark Guard and Eye Shield Mounting Brackets Refer to Figure 2: Parts needed: 2 Spark Guard and Eye Shield Brackets assembled from previous page 4 1/4” x 3/8” Hex Cap Screws (E) 4 1/4" Flat Washers (F) 1. Install the left spark guard and mounting bracket (A) to the left wheel housing (M) with two 1/4” x 3/8” hex cap screws (E) and two 1/4" flat washers (F). The spark guards (A1) should be adjusted to within 1/16" of the grinding wheel surface or other accessory being used. 2.
Important: The adapter illustrated in Fig. B is for use only if you already have a properly grounded two-prong receptacle. Do not modify the plug provided-if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Operation Adjustments A bench grinder is designed for hand-grinding operations such as sharpening chisels, screwdrivers, drill bits, removing excess metal, and smoothing metal surfaces. Eye Shield Tilt Adjustment 1. Loosen lock knob (A1, Fig. 3). 2. Adjust eye shield angle (A2, Fig. 3). A Medium Grain Abrasive Grinding Wheel is suitable for rough grinding where a considerable amount of metal must be removed or when obtaining a smooth finish is not important.
Maintenance The use of any other accessory is not recommended and may result in serious injury! For safety, turn the switch to OFF and remove plug from the power source outlet before adjusting and maintaining the bench grinder. If the power cord is worn, cut or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately. To change a wheel (refer to Figure 4): 1. Disconnect grinder from the power source. 2.
Grinding Wheels The JET Series bench grinders come equipped with general purpose grinding wheels. Wheels vary according to types of abrasive, hardness, grit size, and structure. JET carries a full line of abrasive grinding, carbide grinding, tool sharpening, and wire wheels. Contact your local distributor for the proper grinding wheel or wire wheel brush for your application. Wire Wheel Brushes Wire brushing provides a fast way to remove rust scale, burrs, and point from metal.
