Mounting Bench Grinder
Ifduringoperationofthebenchgrinderthereisanytendencyforthegrindertoslideor"walk"orto

(notsupplied)throughthetwoholesinthegrinderbase.
Beforemountingthegrindertoaworkbenchorsimilarsurface,determinetheidealmountingposition
byperformingaseriesofnon-poweredtestswithitemsthatwilltypicallybeusedonthegrinder(e.g.
lawnmowerblades,scissors,knives,woodchisels,woodturningtools,etc.)Thesetestsrunswillhelp
determinehowneartheworkbenchedgethegrindershouldbemountedsothatthebenchtopdoes

Changing the Grinding Wheels (FIG 7)
WARNING: Useonlygrindingwheelsratedfor3,600rpmorhigherwith

1.Removethethreebolts(1)attachingtheprotectivesidecover(2)to
thegrinder;thenremovethesidecover.
2.Preventtheshaftfromrotatingbyplacingawedgebetweenthe
wheelandthetoolrest.
3.Facingthefrontofthebenchgrinder:toreplacethewheelon
