GENERAL CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
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.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING! For your own safety, turn the switch OFF and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before
adjusting or performing maintenance inspection work on the bench grinder.
WARNING! Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum based products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which could result in seri-
ous personal injury.
3. Always make sure the eye shields are transparent and not blocking the view of the grinding wheel.
4. All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit
under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no additional lubrication is required.
POWER CORD REPLACEMENT
If replacement of the power supply cord is necessary, this must be done by an authorized service center in order to
avoid a safety hazard.
CHANGING THE GRINDING WHEEL (FIG. 13)
In normal use, grinding wheels may become cracked, grooved, rounded at the edges, chipped, out of true or loaded
with foreign material. Grinding wheels should be inspected before each use. Cracked wheels should be replaced
immediately. Any of the other conditions can be remedied with a dressing tool (not included).
To replace a grinding wheel:
1. Ensure that the machine is powered off and unplugged.
2. Loosen the bracket knob and remove the work rest bracket assembly from the wheel cover. Repeat for the other
side.
3. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the two remaining bolts and nuts from the wheel cover. Repeat for the
other side.
4. Using two 24 mm wrenches, loosen the arbor hex nut found on the outside edge of the grinding wheel. The left
side hex nut is loosened by using a clockwise wrench rotation while the right side hex nut is loosened with a coun-
terclockwise rotation.
If you are having difficulty with the two-wrench method, you may try holding one wheel while loosening the nut.
Wear gloves if you decide to use this method to avoid scraping your hand or fingers. Remove the arbor hex nut and
outer wheel flange.
