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.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance instructions and lubrication schedules to keep machine in good working condition. A machine that is improperly maintained could malfunction, leading to serious personal injury or death.
DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or any condition that could affect safe operation. Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate machine with damaged parts!
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect­ing cord-connected machines from power, grab and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord may damage the wires inside. Do not handle cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

Additional Safety for Grinders

Serious injury or death can occur from impact injuries. Rotating grinding wheels can easily remove skin, or entanglement/amputation injuries can occur from being caught in moving parts or in-running pinch points. Flying sparks can ignite explosive or flammable materials. To minimize risk of getting hurt or killed, anyone operating machine MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.
SAFE MOUNTING & WORK AREA. An unse-
cured grinder may become dangerously out of control during operation. Before use, verify grinder is FIRMLY secured in a location free of explosive or flammable materials.
STARTING GRINDER. If a wheel is damaged,
it will usually fly apart shortly after start-up. To protect yourself, always stand to side of grinder when turning it ON and allow it to run for at least one minute before standing in front of it.
VISUAL INSPECTION. Verify that grinding wheels are free of cracks, chips, or dents in wheel surface before installing. Do not use wheel if it has any of these problems or it could break apart during operation.
RING TEST. Perform a “ring test” on grinding
wheels before installation to ensure they are safe to use. A wheel that does NOT pass ring test may break or fly apart during operation.
WHEEL SPEED RATING. Wheels oper-
ated at a faster speed than rated for may break apart during operation. Before mounting a new wheel, be sure wheel RPM rating is equal or higher than speed of grinder. Never use unmarked wheels.
VIBRATING WHEEL. Never use a wheel that vibrates. Replace wheel or shaft bearings imme­diately.
SPARK DEFLECTOR GAP. Keep gap between end of spark deflector and grinding wheel
1
between
8 ” and 1⁄4”. If the gap is larger, excessive sparks and abrasives can be expelled toward the operator.
SPINDLE NUT. Only tighten wheel spindle nut enough to drive wheel and prevent slippage.
EYE SHIELDS. Place eye shields close to grind­ing wheel and re-adjust as wheel wears down.
TOOL REST POSITION. If tool rest is too far away from wheel, workpiece may be pulled down, causing loss of control and pulling your hand into
1
grinding wheel. Keep tool rest within
8” from
wheel when operating. Replace grinding wheel
1
when tool rest gap is wider than
8 ” and no addi-
tional adjustment can be made.
HAND & WHEEL CONTACT. Keep a firm grip on workpiece and position your hands a safe dis­tance away when grinding. Anticipate when work­piece will heat up, and cool it before it becomes too hot to hold, or use an appropriate clamp. Avoid wearing gloves as they may get caught in grinding wheel and cause even more serious entanglement injuries.
WHEEL FLANGES. Only use flanges included with grinder when mounting wheels. Other flang­es may not properly secure wheel and cause an accident. Do not use warped or damaged flanges, and always use paper discs (blotters) between wheels and flanges to reduce risk of flanges cracking wheel when tightened.
EYE, FACE, & LUNG PROTECTION. 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, face shield, and a respi­rator for type of grinding to be done.
SIDE & TOP GRINDING. Grinding on side of wheels can cause them to crack and burst— unless wheel is rated for side grinding. Grinding on top of wheels greatly increases risk of work­piece kickback. Always grind on downward part of wheel.

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.
Electrocution, fire, or equipment damage may occur if machine is not correctly grounded and connected to the 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.)
This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following requirements:

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The wire with green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec­essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service per­sonnel if you do not understand these grounding requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon­nect it from power, and immediately replace it with a new one.
We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can damage electrical components and shorten motor life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller (higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must be in good condition and contain a ground wire and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must meet the following size requirements:

Site Considerations

or disable start switch or
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight and footprint specifications of your machine. Some workbenches may require additional rein­forcement to support the weight of the machine and workpiece materials.
Consider anticipated workpiece sizes and addi­tional space needed for auxiliary stands, work tables, or other machinery when establishing a location for this machine in the shop. Below is the minimum amount of space needed for the machine.
Another option is a "Direct Mount" (see example below) where the machine is secured directly to the workbench with lag screws and washers.
The base of this machine has mounting slots that allow it to be fastened to a workbench or other mounting surface to prevent it from moving during operation and causing accidental injury or damage.
The strongest mounting option is a "Through Mount" (see example below) where holes are drilled all the way through the workbench—and hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are used to secure the machine in place.

NEVER grind without tool rest in place and properly positioned. "Free hand" grinding or too large of a gap between wheel and tool rest increases risk of kickback, which may lead to serious injury.
Some grinding wheels must be replaced before spark deflector or tool rest reach their final adjustment. As diameter of a grinding wheel is reduced, so is available surface speed. Grinding under these condi­tions can lead to faster abrasive loss and poor grinding results. Always follow wheel manufacturer's directions.
Tool Rest Adjustment
The tool rest stabilizes the workpiece when grind­ing. It must always be positioned correctly when using the grinder, to avoid workpiece and possibly operator's hands from being pulled into grinding wheel.
As the grinding wheel wears, adjust the tool rest closer to the grinding wheel to maintain a gap

Workpiece Inspection

Some workpieces are not suitable for grinding on a bench grinder. Before grinding, inspect all
workpieces for the following:
Hard Workpiece: Workpieces that are made of stone, carbide, stainless steel, ceramics, glass, or have hardened welds will wear out most general-grade grinding wheels quickly. If hard materials are to be ground, you must install the correct type of grinding wheel.

Wheel Selection

The Model T27305 only accepts Type 1 wheels with a
Aluminum oxide and silicon carbide wheels are marked in a somewhat uniform manner by all the major manufacturers. Understanding these markings will help you understand the capabilities of various wheels. Always refer to the manufac­turer’s grinding recommendations when selecting a wheel for your project.
The basic format for wheel numbering is:
5
8" bore.
Soft Workpiece: Workpieces that are made of aluminum, brass, lead, and other nonfer­rous metals will load up in the grinding wheel and render the abrasive useless. Grinding wood, plastics, rubber, fiberglass, or other soft materials can also cause the same problem and lead to the wheel overheating and possibly bursting during use if ignored. To restore a loaded grinding wheel surface, redress with a dressing tool.
Flexible/Unstable Workpiece: Grinding on the side or the ends of cable, chain, or round workpieces creates the hazard of workpiece twist or grab, leading to entanglement with the wheel or shaft. This hazard must be avoided.
Loose Parts: Make sure that the workpiece is free of any parts like springs, pins, balls, or other components that may loosen or dis­lodge during grinding, and hit the operator.
Strength: Make sure that the workpiece is strong enough to be ground. Should it break, the broken piece may dig into the wheel and cause kickback or severe injury.
Prefix
The Prefix is the manufacturer’s designation for a particular wheel type (e.g. Type 1 wheels).
The most common Abrasive Types used are A for Aluminum Oxide, C for Silicon Carbide, and occasionally SG for Seeded Gel.
The Grit Size is a number that refers to the size of the abrasive grain in the wheel. The lower the number, the coarser the wheel. Ten is a very coarse wheel for roughing and 220 is usually the upper range for fine finish work.
Grade is an indication of the hardness of the wheel—“A” being the softest and “Z” being the hardest.
Bond Type refers to the type of bonding material used to hold the abrasive material. Most general purpose wheels will have a “V” indicating Vitrified Clay is used. Vitrified Clay provides high strength and good porosity. The other common bond type is “B” for resin where synthetic resins are used. These are used to grind cemented carbide and ceramic materials.

Wheel Care

Wheel Inspection

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.
Select the right grinding wheel for the job. DO NOT grind material inappropriate for the wheel type.
Only use wheels that are rated for the RPM of the tool grinder.
Mount the wheel properly (see Wheel Removal & Installation on Page 20).
Do not push the tooling 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 (see Wheel Dressing on Page 19).
Do not store wheels in damp or wet locations.
Before mounting a new grinding wheel, it must be inspected. Do not assume that a wheel is in sound condition just because it is new—often damage can occur in shipping, with age, or with exposure to moisture.
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.
To perform ring test:
1. Make sure grinding wheel is clean and dry;
otherwise, you may get false results.
2. If size permits, balance grinding wheel with a screw driver through mounting hole. If this is not possible, hang wheel in air with a piece of cord or string looped through mounting hole in center.
3. At spots shown in Figure 16, gently tap grind- ing wheel with a light non-metallic device such as handle of a screwdriver or a wooden mallet.
Note: Finding exact spot to tap may take sev-
eral attempts.
Do not overtighten the nut when mounting the wheel.
Do not leave the wheel mounted when machine is not in use.

4. An undamaged grinding wheel will emit a clear metallic ring or “ping” sound in each of these spots. A damaged grinding wheel will respond with a dull thud that has no clear tone.
— If you determine from ring test that grind-
ing wheel is damaged, DO NOT use it!

Wheel Dressing

Depending on the type of grinding you do, the grinding wheel may require periodic dressing.
Wheel Removal &
Installation
ALWAYS visually inspect and perform a “ring test” on a wheel before assembly. DO NOT use damaged wheels!
To remove and install grinding wheel:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
There are several different types of wheel dressing devices available on the market (see Page 21 for examples). Dressing restores the abrasive quality of the wheel surface and brings the wheel edge back to a square form.
Refer to the instructions that accompany your dressing accessory for complete details on how to properly dress the wheel.
Always adjust tool rest and spark deflector after dressing or replacing grinding wheel. Failure to do so could lead to workpiece kickback and injury.
2. Remove outer guard by removing (2) M5-.8 x
50 Phillips head screws and (2) M5-.8 flange nuts, and (1) M5-.8 knob, (1) 5mm exterior tooth washer, (1) 5mm fender washer, and (1) M5-.8 x 50 carriage bolt that secure outer guard (see Figure 17).

NEVER assemble grinding wheel on spindle without paper or fiber discs between wheel and flange. Not using discs can put stress on wheel, causing it to crack and possibly fly apart.
7. Mount new grinding wheel in order shown
in Figure 19. Tighten M16-2 hex nut snugly but do not over-tighten. Over-tightening can stress and crack wheel.

5. Remove grinding wheel from spindle. Take note of paper or fiber disc between wheel flanges and wheel. These cushion the pres­sure of the wheel flanges and help distribute pressure more evenly. They also help reduce damage to the flanges.
6. Verify flatness of inner and outer flanges by placing them on a level surface. If either flange is warped or damaged, replace it.
Warped wheel flanges can contribute to grinding wheel breaking and flying apart. Never use warped wheel flanges. Always check flanges before re-installing grinding wheel.
Figure 19. Assembly order for wheel installation.
8. Re-assemble outer wheel guard using hard- ware removed in Step 2.
9. While standing away from line of rotation,
turn grinder ON and run new grinding wheel for at least 1–2 minutes before standing in front of it. This helps protect you if the wheel has internal damage that will cause it to fly apart from the centrifugal force of rotation.
— If grinder runs smoothly, grinding wheel
may now be used.
— If wheel appears to wobble, grinder
vibrates excessively, or any other unsafe condition appears with new wheel, stop grinder and refer to Troubleshooting on Page 24.
