• Do not operate this tool while under the in-
fluence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication.
• Always stay alert. Do not allow familiarity,
gained from frequent use of your grinder, to
cause a careless mistake.
• Always remember that a careless fraction of
a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
• 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.
• Avoid awkward operations and hand posi-
tions where a sudden slip could cause your
hand to move into the wheel. Always make
sure you have good balance.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on
and off. Have defective switches replaced by
an authorized service center.
• Do not turn the motor switch on and off
quickly. This could cause the wheel to loosen
and could create a hazard. Should this ever oc-
cur, stand clear and allow the wheel to come
to a complete stop. Disconnect your grinder
from the power supply and securely retighten
the wheel nut.
• If any part of this grinder is missing or should
break, bend, or fail in any way, or should any
electrical component fail to perform properly,
shut off the power switch, remove the machine
plug from the power source and have dam-
aged, missing, or failed parts replaced before
resuming operation.
• Make sure the grinder is securely mounted as
described in the operating instructions before
connecting the tool to a power supply.
• Do not overtighten the wheel nut. Excessive
tightening can cause the wheel to crack during
operation.
• Inspect grinding wheel for visible defect.
Check the wheel for fissures and cracks. Re-
place defective wheels prior to use.
• Adjust distance between wheel and work rest
to maintain 1/16" (1,6 mm). Or less separation,
readjustment is necessary as the diameter of
the wheel decreases with use.
• Always ease the workpiece against the abra-
sive wheel when starting to grind. A hard im-
pact can break the wheel. Use light pressure
when starting to grind; too much pressure on a
cold wheel can cause the wheel to crack.

ON / OFF SWITCH (1)
Your bench grinder features a front access on /
off switch for convenience and safety.
GRINDING WHEEL (2)
Equipped with course and fine grinding wheels
to suit most applications.
SAFETY SHIELD AND SPARK DEFLECTOR (3)
The safety shields and spark deflectors are ad-
justable for operator convenience.
Operating the grinder without these features
attached could result in serious injury. Do not
grind with the safety shield raised; always wear
safety glasses for personal protection.
WORK REST (4)
The work rests are independently adjustable
to compensate for wheel wear. Before grind-
ing, make certain the work rests are adjusted
properly. Generally the object being ground
is done slightly above center of the grinding
wheel. Adjust the distance between the wheel
and the work rest to maintain 1/16" (1,6 mm)
or less separation as the diameter of the wheel
decreases with use.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: always disconnect the bench
grinder from the power source before per-
forming any assembly or adjustment. Failure to
do so could result in accidental starting result-
ing in possible serious personal injury.
