SAFETY GUIDELINES / DEFINITIONS This manual contains information that is important for you to know and understand. This information relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help you recognize this information, we use the symbols to the right. Please read the manual and pay attention to these sections. Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Make sure switch is in “OFF” position before plugging in power cord. In the event of a power failure, move switch to the “OFF” position. 18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted. 19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS.
POWER CONNECTIONS A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug.
EXTENSION CORDS Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the machine. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. D, shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord length.
UNPACKING AND CLEANING Carefully unpack the machine and all loose items from the shipping container(s). Remove the protective coating from all unpainted surfaces. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene (do not use acetone, gasoline or lacquer thinner for this purpose). After cleaning, cover the unpainted surfaces with a good quality household floor paste wax.
F C B A C D E Fig. 7 Fig. 8 SWITCH LOCKOUT F IMPORTANT: When the tool is not in use, the switch should be locked in the “OFF” position to prevent unauthorized use, using a padlock (C) Fig. 7 with a 3/16" diameter shackle. C VISE B A D Clamping the workpiece can be accomplished quickly and easily, as follows: 1. Depress lever (A) Fig. 8, to lift half-nut (B) off screw (C). 2. Pull out screw handle (D) Fig.
ADJUSTING DOWNWARD TRAVEL OF ABRASIVE WHEEL A B A stop screw (A) Fig. 12, is provided to limit the downward travel of the abrasive wheel. This adjustment is made by loosening lock nut (B) and turning stop screw (A) in or out as desired. Then tighten lock nut (B). Fig. 12 Fig. 13 illustrates edge of the arm casting (C) contacting stop screw (A) limiting the downward travel of the abrasive wheel.
OPERATIONS MAKING THE CUT After clamping the workpiece securely in the vise, turn the machine on and allow the motor to come up to full speed. Lower the wheel (A) lightly until it comes into contact with the workpiece (B), as shown in Fig. 17. Do not allow the wheel to chatter and jump as this may cause the wheel to wear out of round, resulting in poor quality cutting and possible broken wheels. B Fig. 17 Continue to push firmly down on the handle while the cut is being made, as shown in Fig. 18. Fig.
MAINTENANCE CHANGING THE WHEEL DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. 1. Rotate the front wheel guard (A) Fig. 21, to the up position, as shown. A Fig. 21 2. Press in on arbor lock (B) Fig. 22, and at the same time rotate wheel (F) by hand until the arbor lock engages. B Fig. 22 3.

Check the brushes after the first 50 hours of use for a new machine or after a new set of brushes have been installed. After the first check, examine the brushes after about 10 hours of use until such time that replacement is necessary. Fig. 24 The brush holders (A) Fig. 24, are located on the motor housing opposite each other. Fig.
