Grounding Instructions

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify plug provided—if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately. This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in

Figure A. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adapter, which looks the adapter illustrated in Figures B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

WARNING:Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

Important Safety Instructions

• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys

and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

Motor

Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. 120 Volts, 60Hz means alternating current only should be used to operate this tool.A power decrease of more than 10% will cause loss of power and overheating. All Black and Decker tools are factory tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply.

Bench Mounting

1. The grinder should be unplugged.

2. Position grinder on workbench. Check for the availability of power for the grinder. Mark location of holes for drilling.

3. Drill appropriate sized holes.

4. Insert 1/4” (6mm) Hex head bolts through washers and the holes. You may want to use washers on the underside of the bench as well.

5. Tighten the nuts. Do not overtighten. Allow the rubber feet to absorb the vibration when the grinder is running.

Installing Spark Guards, Light Fixtures, Eye Shields and Quench Tray

TURN OFF TOOLAND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY There are seven seperate hardware bags and a quench tray packed with your bench grinder.

Hardware bag #’s 1,2, 3 and 4 shown in Figure 2 are used to assemble the spark guard, light fixture and eye shield assemblies shown in Figure 3.

To begin assembly insert the 1/2” long machine screw with washer through the slot of the left side spark guard and into the threaded hole located at the top of the inner metal wheel guard.

Adjust the edge of the spark guard to within 1/16” of the grinding wheel or other accessory. Tighten the screw securely. Continue to adjust spark guard to be within 1/16” of grinding wheel or other accessory as wear occurs.

Align the left side spark guard with the opening below the left side light fixture. Next, align the clear plastic eye shield (rib side up per Figure 3) with the left side spark guard. With the three items aligned, insert the 3-1/2” bolt through them from the left side insuring that the square portion of the bolt head is seated fully into the square eye shield recess. Place a knob and washer onto the threaded end of the bolt and hand tighten.

Adjust the eye shields so they are between the wheels and your eyes. Tighten the shields in place by tightening the plastic knob in the assembly by hand. NOTE: EYE SHIELDS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO REPLACE SAFETY GLASSES.

Repeat the procedure for the right side assembly inserting the 3-1/2” bolt from the right side. Aquench tray is included for use in cooling the workpiece after the grinding process. The tray

can be filled with water (only use water) and attached to either side of the grinder by aligning the tabs on the side of the tray with the slots on the outer sides of the wheel guards.

Installing Tool Rests

TURN OFF POWER AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY. Hardware bags 5, 6, 7, and the remaining two knobs from bag #1 are used to assemble the

tool rests. First install the left side tool rest brackets, as shown in Fig. 4. Next attach the tool rests. Use

the bolts, washers, spacers and lock nuts from the plastic bag to secure the brackets and tool rests in place.

NOTE: There is a left and right tool rest. When in actual use, the tool rests should be adjusted to within 1/8” of the grinding wheel or other accessory being used.

CAUTION: Use the washers and screws supplied. Longer screws may interfere with the

movement of the grinding wheel.

Operation

NEVER USE ABENCH GRINDER IF IT IS NOT FIRMLY FASTENED TO A WORK BENCH OR RIGID FRAME. Before turning the grinder on, put on safety glasses. Turn on the grinder and allow it to reach full speed (3500 RPM ). Hold the workpiece firmly and against the tool rest. Hold very small pieces with pliers or other suitable clamps. Feed the work smoothly and evenly into the grinding wheel. Move the work slowly and avoid jamming the work against the wheel. As the wheel tends to slow down you should occasionally release the pressure to let the wheel return to full speed.

Grind only on the face of the grinding wheel and never on the side. (Some wheels are designed for side grinding and will say so on their instruction sheets).

CAUTION: Prolonged grinding will cause most materials to become hot. Handle them with

pliers.

Switch

The switch is located on the front of the grinder, on the base. (Figure 1) To turn the tool on depress the side of the rocker switch on the right side, marked “I”. To turn off the grinder, depress the left side of the rocker switch, marked “O”.

Maintenance

CLEANING

Blowing dust and grit out of the wheel guards using compressed air is a necessary regular maintenance procedure. Dust and grit containing metal particles often accumulate on interior surfaces and could create an electrical shock hazard if not frequently cleaned out. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.

CAUTION: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts

of the tool. Use clean, dry rag only.

Accessories

Recommended accessories for use with your tool are available at extra cost from your distributor or local service center.

Grinding wheels must fit within the confines of the guard and must be rated higher than the recommended speed as marked on the nameplate.

CAUTION: Strands of wire brushes may break and fly off while in use. Users and others in the area should wear adequate eye, face and body protection. Use only wire brushes that are rated at or greater than the RPM shown on the tool’s nameplate.

The use of wire brushes is only recommended with the use of a spacer, Black & Decker part no. 791695-00. The spacer should be positioned behind the inner clamp washer toward the motor. To order the spacer call 1-800-54-HOW-TO (544-6986).

Do not use the spacer with grinding wheels.

WARNING: T o reduce the risk of injury, always use proper guards when grinding and wear

eye protection.

CAUTION: The use of any non-recommended accessory may be hazardous.

Changing Accessories

TURN OFF THE TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY.

CHANGE ACCESSORIES WHEN THE SPARK GUARD CAN NO LONGER BE ADJUSTED TO 1/16” FROM THE WHEEL.

USE ONLY WHEELS THAT MEASURE 6” IN DIAMETER. THIS TOOL HAS 1/2” ARBORS ON BOTH SIDES.
