WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally contacting cutting tool or moving parts.
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece mate­rial. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk.
HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear­ing protection when operating or observing loud machinery. Extended exposure to this noise without hearing protection can cause permanent hearing loss.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on machinery can become dangerous projectiles upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches, or any other tools on machine. Always verify removal before starting!
USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use this tool for its intended purpose—do not force it or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. Never make unapproved modifica­tions—modifying tool or using it differently than intended may result in malfunction or mechanical failure that can lead to personal injury or death!
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and balance at all times when operating machine. Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that make workpiece control difficult or increase the risk of accidental injury.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance from the work area. Stop using machine if they become a distraction.
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce accidental contact with moving parts or flying debris. Make sure they are properly installed, undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE operating machine.
FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It will do the job safer and better at the rate for which it was designed.
NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur­ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec­ommended accessories. Using improper acces­sories will increase the risk of serious injury.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and ensure all moving parts completely stop before walking away. Never leave machine running while unattended.

Additional Safety for Drill Bit Grinders

necktie or loose clothing. Keep long hair away from
Move these types of materials a safe distance away.
The primary risks of operating a Drill Bit Grinder are as follows: You can be blinded or killed by flying debris created by a chipped or damaged grinding wheel. Your fingers can be cut or amputated by the rotating grinding wheel. You can also suffer crushing injuries from getting hair, loose clothing, or jewelry entangled in the wheel. To reduce your risk of serious injury when operating this machine, completely heed and understand the following.
PERFORM WHEEL INSPECTION. Before
installing a grinding wheel, visually check it for cracks, chips, nicks or dents in the wheel surface. Additionally, perform a “ring” test. Do not use the wheel if it fails inspection.
USE UNDAMAGED WHEELS. Never use a wheel that has been dropped or received a heavy blow, even if there is no obvious damage.
SAFELY START UP GRINDER. To protect your­self, always stand to the side of the grinder until the wheel reaches full speed. Allow it to run for at least one minute before grinding. If a wheel is damaged, it will usually fly apart shortly after startup.
USE CORRECT SPEED RATING. Wheels oper­ated at a faster speed than rated for may break or burst. Before mounting a new wheel, be sure wheel RPM rating is equal to or higher than speed of grinder. Never use unmarked wheels.
USE CORRECT WHEEL BORE. Only use wheel with same bore as machine arbor.
AVOID TOUCHING MOVING WHEEL. Be aware where your hands are relative to the grinding wheel, and keep them away from wheel while grinding.
USE DRILL BIT JIG. Always make sure the drill bit is properly positioned in the jig, and the jig is firmly secured to the base, and all locks are tight before turning the machine ON.
DRY-GRIND ONLY. To avoid the risk of elec­trocution, do not use fluids of any kind with this machine. This grinder is designed to perform dry­grinding only!
WEAR PROPER CLOTHING. Do not wear gloves,
rotating grinding spindle.
WEAR PROPER PPE. Grinding ejects small par­ticles at a high rate of speed. These particles can cause blindness, skin injuries, or respiratory damage. ALWAYS wear approved clothing, safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and face shield, and a respirator appropriate for the type of grinding to be done.
NEWLY GROUND DRILL BITS WILL BE HOT. Drill bits can be sharp and get hot during grind­ing operations. Use leather gloves or shop rags to protect your hands when installing or removing drill bits. Remove the gloves before operating.
REDUCE RISK OF FIRE AND EXPLOSIONS. This machine creates a shower of hot sparks that can ignite explosive or flammable materials nearby.
PROPERLY MAINTAIN MACHINE. Keep machine in proper working condition to help ensure all com­ponents work as intended and function safely. Perform routine inspections and all necessary maintenance, as indicated in owner’s manual. Never operate machine with damaged or worn parts that can break during operation.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Before installing the machine, consider the avail­ability and proximity of the required power supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this machine, a new circuit must be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage, installation work and electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or qualified service personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
or equipment damage may occur if machine is not properly grounded and connected to power
The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices that might operate at one time during normal operations.
The full-load current is not the maximum amount of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond the full-load rating.
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result— especially if connected to an undersized circuit. To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over­loading the machine during operation and make sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that meets the specified circuit requirements.
For your own safety and protection of
Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to
a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will be connected to a shared circuit where multiple machines may be running at the same time, con­sult an electrician or qualified service personnel to ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building and the machine. The power sup­ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-load current drawn from the machine for an extended period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

Grinding Tips

Once the drill bit is properly set up in the jig, using your grinder to sharpen the bit is a fairly easy and quick process. Follow the rules listed below to keep this process safe and efficient.
Use the correct diameter grinding wheel for the diameter of the drill bit. When setting up the bit in the jig, make sure there is a safe clearance of at least the wheel when the bit has reached the end of its inward path (refer to Selecting Correct Grinding Wheel on the previous page for additional information).
Use a steady motion with the pivot lever as you move the bit across the cutting edge of the wheel. An overly slow or jerky motion could cause the material of the bit to over­heat, damaging the tensile strength of the bit. An overly fast motion may leave the bit surface ridged or damage the wheel.
1
4" between the bit and
severe crushing injuries!
If you are not experienced with this type of machine, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you seek additional training outside of this manual. Read books/magazines or get formal training before beginning any proj­ects. Regardless of the content in this sec­tion, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable for accidents caused by lack of training.
DO NOT use cutting fluids of any type with this machine. Your grinder is designed to perform dry-grinding ONLY.
Allow the drill bits to become cool to the touch by themselves if you make more than a few passes on each side. DO NOT use fluids to hurry the cooling process, which could dam­age the tensile strength of the bit.
With the bit properly positioned on the jig, make sure the pivot base and jig can move freely and easily through the full required range of motion.
ALWAYS lock the stop rods in the correct, safe settings before starting the machine.
Multiple light passes produce better results than one or two heavy passes.

When grinding, your safety depends, to a large degree, on the condition of the wheel. A wheel in poor condition presents the possibility of breaking apart during rotation and injuring the operator and others in the area.
Here are some tips to help you avoid breaking the wheel:
Always transport, store and handle wheels with care. Wheels may be damaged if they are dropped or if heavy objects are stacked on them.
Only use wheels that are rated for the RPM of the grinder.
Mount the wheel properly (see Changing Grinding Wheel on Page 21).
Do not push the bit into the grinding wheel with such force that it causes the grinder to bog down. And do not apply pressure to stop the wheel after turning the grinder OFF.

Dress the wheel when necessary. Do not allow it to become glazed.
Do not store wheels in damp or wet locations.
Do not overtighten the nut when mounting the wheel.
Do not leave the wheel mounted when machine is not in use.

Wheel Inspection

Before installing a grinding wheel, it must always be inspected. DO NOT assume that a wheel is in sound condition just because it is new. Often, damage can occur during shipping, with age, or with exposure to moisture.
To perform a ring test:
1. Make sure wheel is clean and dry; otherwise,
you may get false results.
2. Balance wheel with your finger in hole. If this is not possible, hang the wheel in the air with a piece of cord or string looped through hole in center.
A damaged grinding wheel can fly apart at high RPM, throwing pieces of abrasive at the operator and anyone in the vicinity.
First, do a Visual Inspection. Look for any cracks, chips, nicks or dents in the surface of the wheel. If you see any of these, DO NOT use the wheel.
Second, do a Ring Test. This test will give you an indication of any internal damage that may not be obvious during a visual inspection.
A damaged grinding wheel can fly apart and eject chunks of abrasive material with great force, causing serious injury or death. Inspect every grinding wheel before it is mounted. DO NOT use a damaged grinding wheel!
3. At points shown in Figure 14, gently tap
wheel with light, non-metallic device such as handle of screwdriver or a wooden mallet.

20. To perform a grinding pass, move the pivot
lever with a moderate and steady motion to pass the bit across the wheel's inside cutting edge, then stop when you feel resistance from the front stop rod.
21. Without moving your right hand, reverse the motion of the pivot lever until the drill bit is clear of the grinding wheel.
22. Turn the machine OFF and wait for the grind- ing wheel to come to a complete stop.
23. Rotate the drill bit 180° in the bit carrier and repeat Steps 18–22 to grind the opposite side of the bit.
24. Rotate the carriage handwheel clockwise one increment of the handwheel scale to move the drill bit toward the grinding wheel 0.30 mm (or approximately 0.012"), then repeat
Steps 18–22 again.
Grinding wheels have the capability of removing a lot of skin quickly. Keep a firm grip on the drill bit in the jig and position your hands safely away from the wheel dur­ing operation.
25. Repeat Step 24 until you are satisfied with
cutting edges and point angles of the bit.
