Operating Instructions
1. Place grinder in area with good ventilation and lighting. Make sure that water will drain into appropriate receptacle.
2. Plug grinder into grounded three-prong socket.
3. Insure that coolant tower remains full of water and that sponge is moist. If you prefer grinding without the coolant
tower, you may insert the sponge into the hole in the platform adjacent to the grinding head. Make sure that
sponge remains moist.
4. Turn on grinder using switch on right side. If you prefer, you may plug grinder into an approved foot switch rated
for 3 amps or more.
5. Press glass, rock or tile to be ground against revolving grinding head with moderate pressure. Shape your material
with smooth lateral strokes, removing a small portion of the unwanted material with each pass. Do not apply
excessive pressure.
6. If you wish to drill a hole, use a grinding pin. Gently bring glass into contact with the top of the pin at a 45° angle
