• Metallic dust can damage other tools if allowed to accumulate by vents and be drawn in when
the tool is operated
• When grinding, always keep the workpiece moving across the wheel surface to prevent uneven
wear of the grinding wheel
• Use the correct type of grinding wheel. A coarse grit can be used to take off a lot of material more
quickly, a fine grit removes material more slowly and gives a finer finish
• When grinding has finished for the session, remove dust and vacuum the work area, and the tool
Accessories
• A range of accessories and consumables—such as Grinding Wheels, Diamond Grinding Wheel
Dressers and Silicon Carbide Grinding Wheel Dressers—is available from your Silverline stockist
• Spare parts can be obtained from toolsparesonline.com

General inspection

• Inspect the supply cord of the tool, prior to each use, for damage or wear. Repairs should be
carried out by an authorised Silverline service centre. This advice also applies to extension cords

Dressing a wheel
• Over time, the surface of the Grinding Wheel (9 and 14) may become uneven, pitted and
unbalanced and it will not work satisfactorily
• To restore the wheel surface to good working condition, a dressing tool should be used, such as
the Silverline Diamond Grinding Wheel Dresser
• Use the diamond grit head to clean the surface of the wheel
• Do not over-use a wheel dresser
• Only use when necessary as it accelerates wear of the wheel
