Maintenance

Warning: For your own safety, turn switch “OFF” and remove plug from power source outlet

before adjusting and maintaining your bench grinder. If power cord is worn, cut or damaged in any

way, have it replaced immediately.

1. Regularly check the tool and use a soft brush to remove accumulated dust. Wear safety goggles to protect

your eyes while cleaning.

2. If the body of the grinder needs cleaning, wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth. A mild detergent can be

used. Do not use alcohol, petrol or other similar cleaning agents. Do not make contact with the grinding

wheels with any damp cloth.

3. Always make sure the eye shields are transparent and not blocking the view of the grinding wheel.

4. In normal use, grinding wheels may become cracked, grooved, rounded at the edges, chipped, out of true

or loaded with foreign material. Cracked wheels should be replaced IMMEDIATELY. While any of the

other conditions can be remedied with a dressing tool (included), new wheels sometimes require dressing

to make them round.

5. 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 inch center hole,

6 inch diameter and should be a maximum of 3/4 inch wide. Test new wheels for cracks and maintain the

existing sequence of retaining hardware. Be sure the tool is unplugged before attempting repairs.

Caution: Never use caustic agents to clean the plastic parts of the tool.

Caution: Water must never come into contact with the grinder.

Caution: The use of any other accessories is not recommended and may result in serious injury.
