Additional Safety for Metal Belt Grinders

Serious injury or death can occur from fingers, clothing, jewelry, or hair getting pinched/entangled in rotating belt or other moving components. Abrasion injuries can occur from touching moving abrasive belt with bare skin. Workpieces or ground-off particles thrown by abrasive belt can strike operator or bystanders, causing impact injuries or blindness. Long-term respiratory damage can occur from using grinder without wearing a respirator. To reduce the risk of these hazards, operator or bystanders MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.

IN-RUNNING NIP POINTS. The gap between

moving abrasive belt and rest/support creates a pinch point for fingers or workpieces; the larger this gap is, the greater the risk of fingers or workpieces getting caught in it. Minimize the risk of pinch and crush injuries by adjusting rest/support to no more

⁄16 " away from belt.

than

GRINDING DUST. Grinding creates large amounts of airborne dust particles that can cause eye injury or respiratory illness. Reduce your risk by always wearing approved eye and respiratory protection when using grinder.

ABRASIVE CONDITION. Worn or damaged abrasive belts can fly apart and throw debris, or aggressively grab workpiece, causing injury from operator loss of workpiece control. Always inspect belt before operation and replace if worn or damaged.

HOT WORKPIECES. Grinding friction will cause workpiece to quickly get hot, causing burns to the

Wear apron if grinding for an extended time.

skin. Do not touch freshly ground surfaces or nearby areas without first cooling them or allowing them to cool.

MINIMUM STOCK DIMENSION. Small workpieces can be aggressively pulled from your hands, causing contact with belt surface. Always use a jig or other holding device when grinding small workpieces, and keep hands and fingers at least 2" away from abrasive surface.

FLAMMABLE MATERIALS. Grinding metal will cause sparks. Make sure there are no flammable or combustible materials near machine.

ABRASIVE DIRECTION. Feeding workpiece incorrectly can cause it to be thrown from machine, striking operator or bystanders, or causing hands to slip into moving belt. To reduce these risks, only grind against direction of abrasive belt travel, ensure workpiece is properly supported, and avoid introducing sharp edges into moving belt on the leading side of the workpiece.

PROTECTING HANDS. Rotating belt can remove skin quickly. Always keep hands away from moving belt during operation. Do not wear gloves while grinding. Stop machine before cleaning dust from work area and protect hands because pieces can be sharp.

WORKPIECE INTEGRITY & SUPPORT. Grinding fragile workpieces can result in loss of control, resulting in abrasion injuries, pinch/impact injuries, or damage to abrasive belt. Only grind solid workpieces that can withstand power grinding forces. Properly support workpiece; avoid grinding workpieces without flat bottom surfaces unless some type of jig is used to maintain support and control when grinding force is applied. Always grind with workpiece firmly against rest or another support device, if feasible.

Model T32459 (Mfd. Since 12/23)

FEEDING WORKPIECE. Forcefully jamming workpiece into abrasive surface could cause it to be grabbed aggressively, pulling hands into abrasive surface. Firmly grasp workpiece in both hands and ease it into belt using light pressure.

AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Becoming entangled in moving parts can cause severe injury or death. Keep all guards in place and closed; DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, or jewelry; and tie back long hair.

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.)

This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following requirements:

property, consult an electrician if you are unsure about wiring practices or electrical codes in your area.

Model T32459 (Mfd. Since 12/23)

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

We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. If you must use an extension 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:

Workpiece Inspection

Some workpieces are not suitable for grinding on a grinder. Before grinding, inspect all

workpieces for the following:

• Flammable Workpiece: Workpieces with

unstable chemical elements (like magnesium) may catch fire or create explosion hazards when introduced to the heat and friction of grinding. Be aware of the material composition of workpieces you intend to use and avoid grinding different metals and alloys on the same belt in case two different materials create a dangerous chemical reaction.

• Soft Workpiece: Workpieces that are made

of aluminum, brass, lead, and other nonferrous metals will load up in the belt. Grinding plastics, rubber, fiberglass, or other soft materials can also cause the same problem. Always use the recommended belt for the material.

• 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 contact with the belt. This hazard must be avoided.

• Wood Workpiece: Never grind wood on

this machine. Wood dust and shavings are extremely flammable and hot metal sparks will ignite them. A belt that has been used to sand wood creates a flame and explosion hazard when the hot sparks created by grinding metal are introduced.

Grinding Tips

• Extend the life of the abrasive belt by regularly using an abrasive surface cleaner. Change a belt when cleaning is no longer effective.

• As a rule-of-thumb, grind with progressively higher grit numbers. A higher grit will achieve a finer finish.

• Hold workpiece securely with both hands and do not wear gloves. Use tool rest and jigs whenever possible to support workpiece. Do not force workpiece against belt.

• Never grind magnesium. Once shaved or powdered, it is highly flammable, and a magnesium fire is difficult to put out.

• Remember that grinding metal often produces sparks. DO NOT grind metal near flammable materials, and be aware of the area around the machine the sparks will reach.

• Use full width of belt by moving the workpiece back-and-forth across the belt.

• Make sure belt guards/covers are secured during operation.

• The workpiece will get hot as you continue to grind. Cool the workpiece frequently by quenching in water or another approved solution.

• Wear the proper protective clothing. Prepare for particles to be expelled from the grinder at high speeds. Wear safety glasses, face shield, dust mask, earplugs, leather apron, and heavy leather boots.

Model T32459 (Mfd. Since 12/23)

Moving belt can cause serious personal injury if it comes in contact with fingers, hands, or other body parts. Always support workpiece against tool rest when grinding if possible. Use extreme care to provide a safe distance between belt and any body part.

-19-

Choosing

Grinding Belts

This machine uses a 2" x 42" belt. Below is a chart that groups abrasives into different classes, and shows which grits fall into each class.

Depending on the material, some belts also come with different backing material. For grinding, cloth backing is the most common and has various weights. The "weight" of the cloth backing refers to the flexibility of the belt, and you will want to use a belt with flexibility tailored to your workpiece and application. The chart below illustrates common cloth weights and their flexibility/uses.

Grit Class

24–60 Extra Coarse

60 –120 Coarse

120–180 Medium

180+ Fine

The general rule of thumb is to grind a workpiece with progressively higher grit numbers. Avoid skipping grits; the larger the grit increase, the harder it will be to remove the scratches from the previous grit.

Ultimately, the type of metal you use and your stage of finish will determine the best grit types to install on your grinder.

Belts are also made with different materials, and your workpiece and intended operation will determine which belt material will produce the best results for you. The chart below illustrates some common belt materials and the situations that they are most effective.

Belt Weight Description

J-Weight Flexible. Good for contour

sanding/grinding.

X-Weight Medium flexibility. Strong. For

all-purpose sanding/grinding.

Y-Weight Least flexible. Very strong. Good

for heavy stock removal. Often waterproof and tear resistent.

Adjusting Frame Tilt

The Model T32459 frame can be positioned from 0°–90°, depending on your operation. With the frame at a vertical angle (see Figure 20), it is easier to perform grinds perpendicular to the belt (i.e., with a workpiece flat against the tool rest in

Figure 20).

Adjusting Tool Rest

The tool rest should be used whenever it can feasibly be installed to help support the workpiece. Once installed, it can be tilted from 5° left to 120° right, can be swiveled on its base, and can adjust toward and away from the machine frame. These adjustments allow for angled workpieces and for the rest to be adjusted square to the platen regardless of how the frame and platen are adjusted.

When grinding very thin workpieces, a common practice when producing knife bevels, the workpiece can be drawn into the gap between the tool rest and the belt. If a workpiece is too thin to be safely supported by the tool rest, consider researching freehand belt grinding techniques or using a different method to grind your workpiece.

Adjusting Tool Rest Swivel While Frame is Vertical

When the machine frame is vertical, the tool rest swivel can be adjusted for an angled workpiece (see Figure 34).

Figure 34. Example of tool rest swivel adjusted

Figure 40. Properly grinding workpiece face.

To flat grind:

Connect machine to power, turn it ON, and

allow motor to reach desired speed.

2. Position workpiece on tool rest, if installed.

Use both hands to maintain control of

workpiece, as shown in Figure 40, and slowly feed it into moving belt with light, even pressure. DO NOT force workpiece against belt.

Note: There are many different techniques

for using belt to grind and sharpen knives. Whichever one you use, make sure that you hold knife firmly and ease it into belt without excessive pressure to ensure safe operation.

This setup is good for material removal and creating profiles. Regardless of your workpiece, always use two hands to control the workpiece and use the tool rest to support it, if feasible.

Adjusting

Platen to Wheels

The platen should extend about 1⁄8" forward from the two front idler wheels in order to produce flat and square grinds. Due to the force and abrasives of grinding, the platen wears as it is used, so you will occasionally need to adjust the platen forward in order for grinds to maintain this adjustment.

Tools Needed Qty

Hex Wrench 3⁄16 " ................................................ 1

Wr en ch 17mm Straightedge 12"

To adjust platen to wheels:

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Remove tool rest and belt.

Loosen acorn nuts on front wheel covers

shown in Figure 51, and adjust covers back so you can place straightedge against platen and wheels in following steps.

Wiring Safety Instructions

SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that is con-

nected to a power source is extremely dangerous. Touching electrified parts will result in personal injury including but not limited to severe burns, electrocution, or death. Disconnect the power from the machine before servicing electrical components!

MODIFICATIONS. Modifying the wiring beyond what is shown in the diagram may lead to unpredictable results, including serious injury or fire. This includes the installation of unapproved aftermarket parts.

WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must be tight to prevent wires from loosening during machine operation. Double-check all wires disconnected or connected during any wiring task to ensure tight connections.

CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST follow the requirements at the beginning of this manual when connecting your machine to a power source.

WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires or components increase the risk of serious personal injury, fire, or machine damage. If you notice that any wires or components are damaged while performing a wiring task, replace those wires or components.

MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in these diagrams is current at the time of printing but may not match your machine. If you find this to be the case, use the wiring diagram inside the motor junction box.

CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors and power inverters store an electrical charge for up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from the power source. To reduce the risk of being shocked, wait at least this long before working on capacitors.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you are experiencing difficulties understanding the information included in this section, contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.
