Safety Requirements
OPERATOR, AND OPERATING AREA SAFETY
Serious injury or death may occur if minimum safety precautions are not understood, and obeyed by operators and those other persons who may be in the immediate vicinity of the grinder. Persons who operate or are in the immediate vicinity of the grinder must be properly trained in, and use minimum safety precautions and procedures for such machinery.
PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT, SUCH AS GRINDING GLOVES, HEARING PROTECTION, AND SAFETY GLASSES MUST BE WORN WHEN USING THIS EQUIPMENT. CHECK WITH YOUR COMPANY’S SAFETY OFFICER FOR OTHER SAFETY REQUIREMENTS.
MINIMUM SAFETY REQUIREMENTS TO
OPERATE, OR WORK IN THE IMMEDIATE
VICINITY OF SUBJECT EQUIPMENT:
1.Read and understand all operating instructions, manuals, labels, and other information provided with the equipment.
2.Train operators and others in safe operating practices. Post these instructions so they are available for future reference and new operators.
3.Don’t expose the grinder to rain, or use the grinder in damp or wet locations. Don’t use the grinder if the power cord is damaged or wet.
4.Keep the work area well lit.
5.Do not use the grinder near ammable liquids or gases. Sparks from the grinder can cause res.
6.Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes or radiators.
7.Disconnect the power source when the grinder is not in use.
8.Always keep electrical cords clear of rotating parts and belts when in motion.
9.Electrical installation must be in accordance with applicable codes and regulations.
10.Keep all visitors away from the grinder when in use. Make sure visitors do not contact the grinder or its electrical cord.
11.Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Non-skid footwear is recommended when working with the grinder. Wear protective hair coverings to contain long hair. Wear proper safety equipment and clothing to protect eyes, hands, face, arms, legs, feet, and body from ying debris, forcibly ejected work pieces and broken abrasive belts.
12.Use safety glasses. Everyday eyewear does not have impact resistance lenses.
13.Wear a dust mask. Some of the dust created by grinding activities may contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other harm. Provide adequate ventilation. You may wish to install a spark and debris arresting apparatus to contain dust and debris, and to suppress sparks, further limiting inhalation risk, and risk of re or explosion.
14.Keep all guards in place, properly adjusted, and in working order.
15.Do not reach inside the safety guards while the grinder is running.
16.Do not operate this grinder if the gap (nip point) between a moving belt, wheel or disc, and the work support surface exceeds 1/8" or 3.175 mm.
17.Never position the work rest table at an acute angle between the top of the work rest table and the moving belt or wheel. Doing so will create a “nip point” that can cause serious injury should an operator’s body part become entangled (pulled into) the nip point created by this acute angle.
18.Do not operate this machine if the gap between the moving abrasive belt, disc or wheel and the adjacent face of the work rest (or table) will allow passage
of the work piece through the gap (nip point).
19.Note that certain alloys such as titanium may create conditions where grinding debris can accumulate in a tight gap creating a potential re hazard. Failure to heed this warning may cause serious bodily harm to the operator and/or bystanders. When in doubt, consult with your safety o cer.
20.NEVER use this grinder if you are not properly trained in its operations and safe use. If in doubt, stop and ask for guidance.
21.Avoid contact with the belt. When running, the abrasive belt is an aggressive cutting tool.
22.Always hold the work piece rmly and wear gloves when grinding and apply steady pressure. Use work piece holding devices whenever possible
to diminish the possibility that person will come in contact with moving machine pieces, or spark/debris output from the grinder.
23.Bolt the machine to a structurally sound surface or pedestal. If a pedestal is used, bolt the pedestal securely to the oor.
24.Before servicing, disconnect the grinder form the power source. Never leave the grinder running unattended. Turn the power o , and don’t leave until the grinder comes to a complete stop.
25.Do not use damaged belts. Belts that show wear should be discarded.

Safety Requirements
26.Avoid using directional belts. Using belts with a butt joint will outperform belts that have a lap joint and do not require directional installation. Lap joint belts are also prone to separation.
27.Use abrasive belts from respected belt manufacturers. Not all abrasive belts are created equal. Belts that are very inexpensive are usually manufactured cheaply.
Contact your OREGON® dealer for quality replacement parts. Be sure to use the right size abrasive belts.
28.Know what you’re grinding; avoid mixing di erent metals, alloys and materials. Mixing materials can crate a re or explosion hazard. Exotic materials such as titanium, magnesium and other chemically active materials have re and explosion hazards that if ignored can result in grave personal injury and/or property damage.
29.Ensure contact wheels and idler wheels are in good condition and free from cuts or splits. If damaged parts are found, immediately discontinue use
of the grinder and order replacement parts.
30.The use of stone or vitreous wheels on any OREGON belt grinder is prohibited. The grinder guarding
is not suitable for these types of wheels.
31.Do not use this equipment when tired, ill or under the in uence of alcohol or other drugs.
ROTATIONAL SPEED WARNING, CONTACT WHEELS

Operation
PERFORM THE FOLLOWING STEPS BEFORE EACH USE OF YOUR MODEL X400 BELT GRINDER:
1.Ensure that the gap (nip point) between the face of the abrasive belt and work rest is adjusted so that your work piece will not pass through this gap. (Figure 1)
2.Locate the 5/16" Allen screw that secures the table support arm to the frame and loosen it. (Figure 2)
3.Adjust the mower blade table rest by loosening the Attachment Locking Lever (Item 11, page 5) and raise or lower the table to reduce the gap between the belt and the table so the belt is NOT in contact with the table. Tighten lever to secure table in place.
ADJUSTING VERTICAL/
HORIZONTAL POSITION
4.Next, loosen the contact wheel guard bolt with a 3/16" Allen wrench. The machine can then be adjusted to positions between vertical to horizontal, (Figure 5) pivoting the machine and tightening. Take precautions to not over tightening the Allen screws. As a rule of thumb, a 1/4 turn past snug will su ce. (Figure 2)
5.Check the nut that secures the contact wheel to its mount. Ensure this nut is tightened to 10 to 15 foot pounds of torque. (1.4 – 2 kg meters) (Figure 3)
6.To install or remove abrasive belt, push the Tension Handle toward the rear of the machine. (Figure 4) When the spring tension is released, open the door of the guard and install or remove the abrasive belt. Return the tension handle to its position at the front of the machine to tighten the belt.
7.Hand turn the contact wheel in the direction of the belt travel to align the belt. Close guard door. See the tracking section (next) to learn how to track the belt.
8.When selecting where to grind on your machine, remember that the X400 has three designated grinding areas. The contact wheel, slack belt area, and the platen area. You may wish to create a larger slack belt area by removing the backup platen. Remove the two Allen screws that secure the platen to the contact wheel guard. Rotate the guard forward to cover the pinch point between.
9.Ensure that your hands and other body parts and electrical cords are completely clear of the grinding belt, and pinch points.
10.Protect your face, eyes, and other body tissue from the grinding debris.

Lawn Mower Blade Sharpener Attachment
BEFORE OPERATING ANY EQUIPMENT PLEASE READ AND REVIEW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE OREGON® MODEL X400.
PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT, SUCH AS GRINDING GLOVES, HEARING PROTECTION, AND SAFETY GLASSES MUST BE WORN WHEN USING THIS EQUIPMENT. CHECK WITH YOUR COMPANY’S SAFETY
OFFICER FOR OTHER SAFETY REQUIREMENTS.
MOUNTING |
INSTALLING THE BELT |
Your machine has been assembled and passed numerous quality checks prior to shipping. The mower blade attachment is fully assembled.
1.Using a 5/16" Allen wrench, loosen the bolt that clamps down the main support frame of the machine (See Figure 2).
2.Pivot machine into vertical position (Figure 6).
3.Tighten up the 5/16" bolt for the main support frame of machine.
4.Open wheel cover door and rotate table support arm to the down position.
5.Using a 7/16" wrench and a 5/32" Allen wrench, remove bolt and attach the support bar to the Table Support Arm (Figure 7).
6.Using a 3/16" Allen wrench, tighten table support arm bolt.
7.Using a 3/16" Allen wrench, remove two screws from the table support arm mounting block and attach mower blade support table and tighten securely, making sure to place the washer on the outside of the bracket on the mower blade support table (Figure 7).
8.Remove nut and washer from drive shaft and attach the contact wheel with the washer and nut using a 15/16" socket wrench. It will be a tight t, so proceed carefully and use a little lubricating oil if needed.
9.Install belt over both wheels; lower the idler wheel by pushing the tensioning handle to the vertical position.
10.Tension the belt by pulling the tensioning handle towards you.
11.Adjust vertical platen with a 3/16" Allen wrench so that the belt is gently touching the platen.
12.Close the safety guard door.
13.Plug machine in and turn machine on.
14.Check to see the belt is tracking in the middle of the contact wheel. Adjust if needed by pushing/pulling the tension release lever. If any abnormal vibrations are noted, discontinue its use and review the troubleshooting instructions on page 8. As always, you may contact OREGON® for additional assistance.
ADJUSTING THE ATTACHMENT
Unlike a stone grinder, the diameter of the contact wheel will remain nearly the same the entire life of the wheel. Also, since the diameter of the wheel will remain constant you will rarely need to adjust the table height. Another advantage of using a belt to grind metal versus a stone is when a stone reduces in diameter, you lose surface speed, making grinding times increase. A stone wheel may turn at 6,000 surface feet per minute when it’s brand new, but after limited use the diameter of
the stone will decrease and the result will be increased sharpening times and the stone will retain more heat.

Operation
TRACKING THE BELT
1.Engage the motor by placing the Start/Stop switch to Start. The belt must rotate smoothly in a counter-clockwise direction around the machine wheel belt path. If either of these conditions are not met, immediately turn the machine OFF.
2.If the abrasive belt does not remain centered on the contact wheel while the belt is moving,
(Figure 8A, B & C) use the tracking adjustment knob on the upper left side of the machine to track the belt to the center of the contact wheel. Turning the knob will cause the belt to track to the right or to the left. (Figure 9)
3.If the belt runs in reverse, (up from the oor, or clockwise) correct this by changing the main drive motor rotation direction. (See warning section below for detailed instructions.)
4.If the abrasive belt tensions and tracks properly, but the machine has excessive vibration, turn the machine o and call OREGON® for assistance.

Operation
MAINTENANCE
•Every thirty days apply light machine oil to the tracking assembly. (Figure 10) Two drops of oil are su cient.
•Every thirty days check the drive belt tensions. If you can hear the belt “slap” the frame when the drive motor starts, the belt may require re-tensioning.
•Re-tension by loosening the four bolts that secure the motor to the base (Figure 11A & B) and slide the motor backward. Do not over tighten the belt. Doing so will shorten the life of the machine bearings. Tighten the four bolts.
•Routinely inspect the machine for loose hardware. Tighten as required.
•Vacuum daily or otherwise remove dust and debris build-up from the machine and the machine belt track.
•Verify proper tracking of the belt by rotating the tracking adjustment knob. (Figure 9, pg. 8)
If the belt does not track while the machine is running it may be that the bolt that holds pressure against the tracking knob (Figure 12) is loose.
•Using a 5/16" Allen wrench and a 9/16" wrench, adjust the amount of pressure.
•Conversely, if the tracking adjustment is too sti , loosen the bolt.
•If excess grinding dust has accumulated it may be necessary to remove the tracking knob and clean the shaft and the aluminum housing.
Reassemble using graphite or light machine oil.
•There are no other maintenance actions required. All bearings are sealed for life and require no additional lubrication.

Lawn Mower Blade Sharpening
SHARPENING
Mower blades
Free the blade of any grease, dirt, or clippings prior to sharpening. Check the blades to make sure they are not bent or cracked.
Using a blade balancer, check the blade for its balance. When sharpening start by grinding the light end of the blade and then follow with the heavy end.
Move the blade in one direction only. Assuming that you have a standard mower blade, your direction would be from left to right. Rest blade on table, gently move blade into rotating wheel and draw the blade to the right. Multiple passes are required to achieve the edge desired. Minimal pressure to the contact wheel is
recommended. The idea is to have the belt do the cutting, not by using force against the contact wheel. Make
rapid passes, each pass should only take seconds in total time. If you are not moving the blade across the wheel in a rapid fashion, you will create hot spots in the blade, and the blade will not move easily across the wheel.
After sharpening the rst edge, use the slack area of the belt to remove any burrs that may have been created in the sharpening procedure. Next, move to
the second edge and repeat the procedure. Check the balance of the blade to ensure proper stock removal.
Mulching blade sharpening
Remove the vertical platen by removing the two Allen bolts that attach it to the contact wheel guard. It is important to
readjust the contact wheel guard to remove the pinch point created by removing the platen. By removing the platen you create a large “slack” free belt area. By using a exible back belt (J weight) or a narrow sti back belt you will be able to use the slack area to sharpen the blade. The operator will freehand the desired angle. After sharpening the rst edge, use the slack area of the belt to remove any burrs that may have been created in the sharpening procedure. Next, move to the second edge and repeat the procedure. Check the balance of the blade to ensure proper stock removal.
Rotary-style o set ail blade sharpening
Free the blade of any foreign
substances. Depending on style of the blade, balancing the blade
maybe di erent than described in this manual. Most rotary blades can be balanced using a simple balance-style scale. Since there is no other way to check for balance due to the o set hole style of the blades, use of a scale is to make sure that the blades are all equal in mass. Using a scale allows you to make sure each blade weighs the same amount, keeping the blades in balance.
You may also choose to check the blades using a standard scale. Once again, start with the lightest blade and then sharpen the heavier blade, checking the blades for balance.
WARNING:
If a belt is damaged or shows excessive wear, immediately stop use of the belt and discard it.
Attach the galvanized tubing (Item 1, page 10) to the worktable, using two button head black oxide screws (Item 18, page 10) and two kep nuts (Item 14, page 10). This changes the angle for the rotary-style blade to a factory recommended angle. As with mower blades, it is recommended to move the blade in one direction only. If the blade has deep chips, use the contact wheel to “face the blade.” Move up on the contact wheel a couple of inches to the centerline and run the blade back and forth several times to even the edge of the blade. Next you will rest the blade against the tubing and start the
sharpening process. Again, use only light inward pressure. The belt and speed of the belt will do all the work for you.
Chipper blade sharpening
Free the blade of any foreign substances. Depending on style of the blade, balancing the blade maybe di erent than described
in this manual. Most chippers require all blades to be the same height. Start with the shortest blade and use it for a reference, then move on to the others in the set.
Only sharpen blades that are long and wide enough to safely hold on to. As with any sharpening process on the grinder move only in one direction and apply minimal inward force.
GRINDING BELTS
OREGON® recommends using only a 3M or Norton 24 or 36 grit ceramic belts to sharpen blades using the blade attachment. (3M 987FI or Norton Blaze R980.) These belts contain cooling aids and are constructed for heavy stock removal. Replacement belts can
be ordered from your OREGON distributor.
Remove any burrs on the back of the blade by making a couple of passes on the slack portion of the belt. This will reduce the e ort required when moving the blade across the table.
