Safety Precautions
1. Always use eye and body protection when using power tools such as this grinder.
2. Remove any jewelry or loose clothing which could become entangled in the grinding head.
3. Set power switch to off before plugging in the grinder.
4. Use only a properly grounded three prong 110 volt 60 cycle outlet. Extension cords are not recommended.
5. Place grinder in an area where water will not reach electrical outlet and route cord to avoid water dripping down
the cord to the outlet.
6. Turn off grinder when not in use.
7. Do not leave hex wrench or other tools on grinder when in use.

11. If you are using a small grinding head (such as a grinding pin), you may fold the sponge over so that it reaches the
grinding surface of the head. Always make sure that water can reach the head, otherwise damage to the diamond
head may result.
Changing Grinding Heads
1. Remove Work Surface by pulling straight up. If Work Surface is tight, insert a small screwdriver near one corner and
rotate, repeating this process on all remaining corners until work surface is loose.
2. Use the supplied hex wrench to loosen the set screw in the base of the grinding head.
3. Pull the Gryphon grinding head straight up to remove.

changes.
5. Place new Gryphon grinding head on shaft, and tighten set screw. Put hex wrench in safe place for next time.
Operating Instructions
1. Place grinder in area with good ventilation and lighting. Make sure that water will drain into appropriate receptacle.
