SPECIFIC RULES FOR BENCH GRINDERS WARNING: Do not plug in or operate this tool until the entire manual has been read and understood. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or machine damage. 1. Use only the correct grinding wheels that meet the following requirements: • The speed rating of the wheel is greater than 3450 RPM. • The wheel complies with ANSI B7.1. • The size of the wheel is 6 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch thick with a 1/2-inch arbor. Do not use wheels with incorrect arbor size. 2.
SPECIFIC RULES FOR THE BENCH GRINDER 16. New wheels may require dressing to make them round. Use a grinding wheel dressing tool (not included) to shape or remove glaze from grinding wheels. 17. Keep the distance between the wheel and tool rest at most a 1/8-inch (3.2 mm) space. Adjust the work rest accordingly as the wheel grinds down to a smaller diameter with use over time. 18. Guard against electrical shock by preventing body contact with grounded surfaces.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance for an electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED.

ASSEMBLY WORK LIGHT The bench grinder is provided with a flexible work light to assist in visibility of the workpiece. The bench grinder is NOT provided with a light bulb for the flexible work light. To reduce the risk of fire, use a 120V 40W (or less) track light bulb, type R20, medium base or equivalent (not included). DO NOT use a light bulb that extends past the end of the light housing. CAUTION: The flexible work light housing will remain hot for a few minutes after turning it OFF.
OPERATION CAUTION: Prolonged grinding will cause most materials to become hot. Use care when handling such materials. SHARPENING SCISSORS If possible, take the scissors apart to make the sharpening operation easier and safer. Remove material only from the outside surface and work from the heavy end of the blade toward the tip. SHARPENING KNIVES Remove metal from both faces of most knives, working from the heavy end of the blade toward the tip.
MAINTENANCE 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 6 inch diameter, a matching arbor size and should be a maximum of 3/4 inch wide. Always check new wheels for cracks. Be sure the tool is unplugged before attempting repairs and maintenance. CAUTION: Never use caustic agents to clean the plastic parts of the tool. Water must never come into contact with the grinder.
