USING THE COOLANT TRAY (FIG. 8)

The coolant tray allows you to cool overheated workpieces. Fill

the tray half way with water or appropriate coolant before opera-

tion.

Periodically empty out the coolant tray. Rinse it of any metal

ﬁlaments and reﬁll it with clean water to prevent buildup on the

wheel itself. Your cleaning schedule should depend on frequen-

cy of use.

BASIC OPERATION

1. To operate the bench grinder, always wear safety glasses and

stand to the side of the grinder (as opposed to in front) before

turning the tool on.

2. Turn the On/Off switch to “I”. Once the tool is up and running,

allow it to reach full speed before grinding. This will take about

15 seconds (Fig. 9).

3. Hold the work piece ﬁrmly against the tool rest. Hold very

small pieces with pliers or other suitable clamps.

4. Choose the suitable grinding wheel for you operation. The 60-

grit wheel is good for small material removal and sharpening.

The 36-grit wheel is good for rapid material removal and tool

reshaping.

OPERATION

WARNING! Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do

so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible serious injury.

5. Feed the work piece smoothly and evenly into the grinding wheel. Move the workpiece back and forth at an even

pace to make for even grinding and prevent burning any one area of the surface.

NOTE: Sparks are normal during grinding operations. Protect yourself and the surrounding environment from ﬂying

sparks.

6. Move the work piece slowly and avoid forcing the workpiece against the grinding 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.

NOTE: Excessive pressure may damage the tool, cause the motor to overheat, and prematurely wear down the

grinding wheel.

7. Grind only on the face of the grinding wheel; never on the side of it.

8. Regularly place the hot end of the workpiece into the coolant tray to cool it off.

9. Turn the ON/OFF switch to “O”. The wheels will take about 3 minutes and 20 seconds to come to a full stop. Avoid

contact with the bench grinder’s housing until it has stopped and cooled down completely. Unplug the tool from the

power source.
