2. GRINDING WHEEL
Equipped with course and fine grinding wheels
to suit most applications.
3. SAFETY SHIELD AND SPARK DEFLECTOR
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.
4. WORK REST
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.
SPARK DEFLECTOR
Using the head screws, washers, and lock-
washers, attach the spark deflector to the top
of the wheel guard. Adjust the spark deflec-
tors 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 impossible serious
personal injury.
MOUNTING SAFETY SHIELDS
Mount the left and right shield rods to the
inside of the wheel guards using the clamp
brackets, hex bolts, and washers. Once shield
rods are firmly in place, slide the shield bracket
onto the shield rod. Tighten the carriage bolt
leaving it loose enough to allow the safety
shield to be raised and lowered easily.

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.
