6. Machine operation
The bench grinder is designed for grinding metal materials only without use of water.
The Medium Grain Abrasive Wheel is suitable for rough grinding where a considerable amount of metal must be removed.
The Fine Grain Abrasive Wheel is suitable for sharpening tools and grinding to close size and smooth finish.
Hold and guide the workpiece safely during machining.
Do not perform any operation freehand; always have the workpiece supported by the tool rest.
Apply a moderate pressure on the workpiece and keep it moving for smooth grinding. Pressing too hard overheats the motor and prematurely wears down the grinding wheels.
Note the original bevel angle on the item to be sharpened and try to maintain the same shape.
The grinding wheel should rotate into the object being sharpened.
Keep a tray filled with water and dip your workpiece regularly to prevent overheating. Overheating can weaken metals.
When the wheel becomes loaded of debris, use an approved grinding wheel dresser and dress the wheel.
Warning:
The condition of the abrasive wheels should be checked before each machining process. Work only with flawless abrasive wheels.
Do not allow anyone to stand behind the unit or close to the workpiece where debris can be thrown.
Flying sparks will occur when cutting. They can cause injury and ignite flammable materials.
Use safety goggles at all times. Use ear protection at all times. Wear a face and dust mask when
working in a dusty environment.
Ensure that the wheel guards are in the correct position before you start machining.
Keep the tool rest and spark guard to within 2mm of the grinding wheel.
Before starting the grinder, turn the wheels by hand making sure they turn freely.
Allow the abrasive wheels to reach full speed before machining.
Do not use the side of the grinding wheel; this puts dangerous stress on the wheel.
Do not stop the wheel by side pressure.
Do not touch the machined workpiece until it cools or you may be burned!
Never place your hand near the cutting area while machine is in operation.
Never machine pieces that are too small to hold safely.
Support long work pieces with helping roller stands.
7. Setup and adjustments
7.1 Changing the abrasive wheel
The abrasive wheel may only be changed when the mains plug is pulled!
The abrasive wheel has to meet the technical specification.
Use only abrasive wheels rated at
3000 RPM or higher. Check abrasive wheel for flaws
(cracks) before installation. Make the ring test.
Ring test:
An internal defect may not be apparent by visual inspection alone.
The ring test may uncover an internal crack or void.
Loop a piece of string through the grinding wheel hole and suspend the wheel.
Tap the wheel with a piece of scrap wood.
A good wheel will "ring"; a defective wheel will "thud".
Do not use a wheel that does not “ring”.
To change a wheel:
Disconnect grinder from the power source.
Move the tool rest (C, Fig 4) and the spark guard away from the wheel.

Note: Turn the nut on the right-hand wheel counter-clockwise to loosen. Turn the nut on the left-hand wheel clockwise to loosen (left hand thread).
Clean flanges.
To install the new abrasive wheel reverse the process. Do not over tighten the nut; this may cause the wheel to crack.
Replace the wheel cover. Adjust the spark guards and tool rests
to a 2mm clearance from the wheel.
Plug in.
Before starting the grinder, turn the wheels by hand making sure they turn freely.
Run the unit and check to make sure the abrasive wheel is in good condition. When testing a new abrasive wheel, run the unit for 3 minutes.
Note: Always stand on one side when turning on the unit.
7.2 Adjusting the spark guard
As the wheel wears down, the spark guard must be re-adjusted to maintain a maximum 2mm clearance.
