4. Place the machine on the workbench and insert a bolt with a washer
through the mounting holes in the base into each of the holes drilled in the
workbench. Make sure the protruding length X (see figure) is at least 5/8"
for each of the bolts used.
5. Place a nut on each of the bolts and securely tighten the nuts.
WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless. Remem-
ber that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
when operating power tools. Failure to do so could result in objects being
thrown into your eyes resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING: Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended
by the manufacturer of this tool. The use of attachments or accessories not
recommended can result in serious personal injury.
BASIC OPERATION
To be efficient and work as designed, your tools should be kept sharp. Dull tools
can cause accidents. Bench Grinders are ideal for sharpening tools such as
chisels, planer blades, scissors, etc., and for removing rust or corrosion.
WARNING: Never sharpen or grind anything made of aluminum, brass, or
copper.
Grinders remove material rapidly, so pressure is the key to efficient grinding.
The proper way to sharpen a tool and avoid overheating is:
1. Keep the object in constant motion, moving it at an even pace.
2. Never force a tool against the grinding wheel.
3. Keep the tool cool by using either the coolant tray or a pan of water.
4. The grinding wheel should rotate “into” the object being sharpened.
NOTE:
Excessive pressure may damage the tool, cause the motor to overheat,
and prematurely wear down the grinding wheel.
WARNING: Excessive pressure on a cold wheel may cause the wheel to
crack.
USING COOLANT TRAY (Fig.7)
The built-in coolant tray allows you to cool overheated workpieces. Simply pull
out the tray and fill with the appropriate coolant.
