4. WORK REST. The work rests are indepen-
dently adjustable to compensate for wheel
wear. Before grinding, make certain the work
rests are adjusted properly. Generally the ob-
ject being ground is done slightly above center
of the grinding wheel. Adjust the distance be-
tween the wheel and the work rest to maintain
1/16" (1,6 mm) or less separation as the diam-
eter of the wheel decreases with use.
MOTOR. Powered by a precision-built electric
induction motor, your bench grinder has suf-
ficient power to handle tough grinding jobs.
ASSEMBLY
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.
SPARK DEFLECTOR
Using the head screws, washers, and lock wash-
ers, attach the spark deflector to the top of the
wheel guard. Adjust the spark deflectors to
within 1/16" (1,6 mm) of the grinding wheel.
Tighten screws securely.
WARNINGS:
• Always spin the wheel by hand before turn-
ing on the grinder to make sure the spark de-
flector doesn't hit the grinding wheel.
• Always make sure your bench grinder is
securely mounted to a workbench or an ap-
proved work stand. Failure to do so could re-
sult in an accident resulting in possible serious
personal injury.
MOUNTING SAFETY SHIELDS
Assemble eye-shield holders and eye-shields
to the wheel guards before operating. Tool
rests and eye-shields must be adjusted properly
before operating.
WORK REST
Using the hex bolt and washer, secure the work
rest against the inside of the wheel guard. Be-
fore tightening the bolts, adjust the gap be-
tween the grinding wheel and the work rest
to a maximum of 1/16" (1,6 mm). Tighten se-
curely.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNINGS:
• Do not attempt to operate this tool until you
have read thoroughly and understand com-
pletely all instructions, safety rules, etc., Con-
tained in this manual. Failure to comply can
result in accidents involving fire, electric shock,
or serious personal injury. Save this operator's
manual and review frequently for continuing
safe operation and
may use this tool.
• To prevent personal injury, never operate
the bench grinder unless the safety shields and
spark deflectors are properly installed and in
place
• Never sharpen or grind anything made of
aluminum.
• Excessive pressure on a cold wheel may cause
the wheel to crack.
IMPORTANT:
· Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses
with side shields during power tool operation
or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty,
wear a dust mask.
· When grinding, metal objects become heated
quickly. It is important to keep moving the ob-
ject back and forth across the grinding wheel
and to cool the object frequently.
To be efficient and work as designed, your
tools should be kept sharp. Dull tools can and
will cause accidents. Bench grinders are ideal
for sharpening tools such as chisels, planer
blades, scissors, etc., And for removing rust or
corrosion.
Grinders remove material rapidly so pressure is
the key to efficient grinding. The proper way
to sharpen a tool and avoid overheating is:
keep the object in constant motion, moving it
at an even pace. Never force a tool against the
grinding wheel. Keep the tool cool by using a
pan of water. The grinding wheel should ro-
tate "into" the object being sharpened.
NOTE: excessive pressure may damage the tool,
cause the motor to overheat, and prematurely
wear down the grinding wheel.
