ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Fixing the bench grinder to the workbench
The bench grinder must always be securely mounted on
a workbench.
1. Mark the workbench through the two mounting
holes located in the grinder base;
2. Drill a hole, with a diameter suitable for the fastening
screw, in each marked position;
3. Secure the bench grinder to the workbench and
insert a screw with washer into each of the holes.
Secure the bench grinder to the workbench/table
through the 4 fixing holes;
4. Insert a nut into each screw and tighten them firmly;
Eye shield installation
The eye shield offers additional protection against the
projection of material and should always be used. Flying
material/particles can cause injury and if it is hot
material, it can set fire to nearby objects.
1. Install the eye shield (8) using the screws and nuts on
the mounting bracket;
2. Adjust the eye shield so that the distance between
the end of the eye shield and the grinding wheel is as
small as possible and never less than 2 mm;
3. Tighten the eye shield fixing screw;
