SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS WARNING ICONS Your power tool and its Instruction Manual may contain “WARNING ICONS” (a picture symbol intended to alert you to and/or instruct you how to avoid a potentially hazardous condition). Understanding and heeding these symbols will help you operate your tool better and safer. Shown below are some of the symbols you may see. SAFETY ALERT: Precautions that involve your safety.
POWER TOOL SAFETY GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS POWER TOOL Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how to use your power tool. 9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. 10. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in the OFF position before plugging the tool in. 21. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 22. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. 17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this Instruction Manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to yourself or others.
BENCH GRINDER SAFETY 1. 14. DO NOT use wheels with incorrect size holes. NEVER use wheel washers or wheel screws that are defective or incorrect, and NEVER touch a grinding wheel or other moving parts. Wear eye protection that complies with ANSI Z87.1 specifications. 2. Use grinding wheels suitable for the speeds of the grinder. 15. 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. 3.
25. DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL OR ANY MEDICATION. 31. IF ANY PART OF THIS GRINDER IS MISSING or should break, bend, 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 surce and have damaged, missing, or failed parts replaced before resuming operation. 26. ALWAYS STAY ALERT. Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your grinder) to cause a careless mistake.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS ! WARNING To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the tool, use proper circuit protection. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. Your grinder is wired at the factory for 120 V operation. Connect to a 120 V, 2.1 Amp circuit and use a 2.1 Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, if power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.
! WARNING This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations. This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle like the one illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows a three-pronged electrical plug and receptacle that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded receptacle is not available, an adapter (Fig. 2) can be used to temporarily connect this plug to a two-contact grounded receptacle. The adapter (Fig.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS WHEEL GUARD - Covers the grinding wheels and protects against accidental contact.

GRINDING WHEEL 60 GRIT - Used to remove light material from workpiece. GRINDING WHEEL 36 GRIT - Used to remove heavy material from workpiece. MOTOR HOUSING - Contains the electrical motor.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS Estimated Assembly Time: 10 - 20 Minutes. ! WARNING • To avoid injury, do not connect this bench grinder to the power source until it is completely assembled and adjusted, and you have read and understood this Instruction Manual. • To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
5. Loosen the hex nut (9) by an adjustable wrench as shown in Fig. F. NOTE: The nut on the left side of the grinder has a standard left-hand thread (turn clockwise to loosen). The one on the right side has a right-hand thread (turn counterclockwise to loosen). Both wheel nuts tighten when turning toward the rear of the grinder and loosen when turning toward the front of the grinder. CHANGING GRINDING WHEELS (FIG. D, E, F, G, H) ! CAUTION Turn off and unplug the bench grinder.
9. To prevent wheel rotating, place a wood wedge (13) (not supplied) between the wheel and the wheel cover as shown in Fig. H. TRANSPORTING THE GRINDER (FIG. I) ! WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, turn off the grinder and disconnect it from power source before installing and removing accessories, adjusting and making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury. Fig.
OPERATION STARTING AND STOPPING THE GRINDER (FIG. K) 3. Hold the workpiece firmly against the tool rest. Hold very small pieces with pliers or other suitable clamps. 4. Feed the workpiece smoothly and evenly into the grinding wheel. 5. Move the workpiece slowly and avoid jamming the workpiece against the wheel. If the wheel tends to slow down from excessive force, you should occasionally release the pressure to let the wheel return to full speed. 6.
TWIST DRILL BITS (FIG. L) Drill bits are best sharpened on a sharpening jig, available at most hardware stores, but can be “dressed up” on your grinder. Begin on one side of the point at the existing angle, then twist the bit while maintaining a constant angle with grinding surface. Sharpen only the tip. This technique requires considerable practice, so take your time and make a few “dry runs” first with the grinder off.
MAINTENANCE 8. If you must replace a wheel be sure to obtain one with a safe rated speed at least as high as the “NO LOAD” RPM marked on your grinder’s nameplate. Replacement wheels must have a 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) center hole, 6 in. (150 mm) diameter and should be a maximum of 3/4 in. (20 mm) wide. Test new wheels for cracks and maintain the existing sequence of retaining hardware. Be sure the tool is unplugged before attempting repairs. 9.
