ASSEMBLING
TOOL RESTS
1. Assemble the v-grooved tool rest (A) Fig. 3, to the
inside of the right wheel guard using two 5/16-18x5/8"
hex head screws (B), and 3/4" flat washers (C).
2. Assemble the remaining flat surfaced tool rest (D)
Fig. 3A, to the inside of the left wheel guard in the same
manner using two 5/16-18x1/2" hex head screws (E),
and 3/4" flat washers (C).
3. Each tool rest is adjustable so that the edge (F) Fig.
3A, of the tool rest can be positioned as close to the
grinding wheel (G) as possible giving maximum support
to the piece that is being ground. A distance of 1/8" or
less between the grinding wheel (G) and the edge (F) of
the tool rest should always be maintained. As the grind-
ing wheel wears down to a smaller diameter, re-adjust
the tool rest closer to the wheel. The tool rest should be
adjusted so it is set a little below the center of the wheel.
This is the most practical and safest position for general
work. Free-hand grinding without the use of the tool rest
should always be done on the lower quarter of the wheel.

ASSEMBLING
SPARK GUARDS
The spark guard (A) Fig. 4, is to be mounted to the side
of each wheel guard, using the 1/4-20x1/4” screw (B)
and 11/16" washer (C) as shown. The spark guard (A)
should be adjusted as close as possible to the grinding
wheel so that sparks never strike the operators hand. As
the wheels wear down the spark guard (A) should be
adjusted accordingly.

ASSEMBLING
EYE SHIELDS
Your grinder is supplied with two safety eye shields for
operator protection. To assemble the eye shields, pro-
ceed as follows:
1. Place shield (A) Fig. 5, under the lip of frame (B). Line
up the two holes in the shield with the two holes in the
frame and fasten together using #10-24x1/2" screws (C),
15/32" washers (D) and #10-24 nuts (E). Assemble the
other shield in the same manner.
