- 1. Assemble FRONT STRAP BOLT (1/4-20 x 23/4" rd. hd.) thru ADAPTER YOKE and STRAP. Just start SQUARE NUT on bolt allowing strap to hang down enough to slip over grinder end bell. (Tool rest can be removed or turned under while using attachment.)
- 2. Slip adapter yoke over the top of end bell on left side of grinder with strap under bell. Assemble rear bolt thru yoke and strap, then start square nut on bolt. Tighten both strap bolts until snug. Note, yoke arm should be approximately 1/8" from touching grinder base.
- 3. Fasten CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY to slot of yoke and secure with WASHER, LOCK KNOB and KNOB NUT. Be sure KNOB SPACER is in LOCK KNOB.
- 4. Tighten ADJUSTING SET SCREWS (they are along side and to the right of strap bolts) to bring unit parallel and square to grinder. You may have to loosen or tighten strap bolts to keep unit snug while squaring up. After unit is square, tighten strap bolts to secure attachment for use.

AND SHIPPING
5 CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY can be located and locked at any angle from top of wheel down to center line of wheel, by unlocking knob and moving unit in slot, of yoke.
If there is interference between lock knob and grinder or too much friction in slot of voke. remove knob nut from lock knob and index nut on hex. (See drawing.)
6. Before sharpening a tool we recommend you dress the wheel parallel to tool holder. This is accomplished by clamping a DRESSING STICK between TOOL CLAMP and CARRIAGE. Secure with THUMB NUTS. Back off FINE FEED SCREW (counter clock-wise). Bring carriage assembly in relation to grinder so dressing stick is close to wheel. Move dresser off wheel to the side using TRAVEL KNOB.
Be safe! Protect your eyes, wear approved safety glasses, and assemble eye shields furnished with your grinder. Stand away from front of grinder during first minute after starting unit.
- 7. Move dresser across wheel continuously and briskly. Turn feed screw in slightly (1/16" on outside diameter) and move dresser across wheel, Repeat until wheel face is straight and clean. One sixteenth (1/16") of an inch on outside diameter of fine feed screw will feed tool in (.005) five thousandth. (Feed .003 to .005 per cut for best results.)
- 8. You are now ready to sharpen a tool. Place the tool to be sharpened under tool clamp. Secure in place with thumb nuts. The tool should extend over the carriage as little as possible for rigidity.
Your tool holder grinding attachment tool clamp can be turned over to hold a variety of tools in angle slots.
approximately 1/8" from touching grinder base.
- 9. Loosen lock knob and locate tool on wheel at (Be sure grinder motor is not running) angle to be sharpened. This angle is determined by maintaining angle already on tool. You may have to loosen thumb nuts and push tool against wheel with your thumb to square up tool to wheel, then retighten thumb nuts. Stand away from front of grinder during first minute after starting GRINDING WHEEL .- Then move the work freely across the wheel, removing a slight amount of material at a time (.003 to .005 per cut).
- 10. Smoking the cutting edge with a match or blueing before sharpening is helpful to see where you are grinding. A mirror is helpful to see the under side of tool without removing tool from clamp.
HELPFUL HINTS
11. To avoid softening the steel by over heating, remove only a slight amount of material per grind. Keep tool moving when grinding. Feed tool in when tool is off to side of wheel. (Take small cuts, feed .003 to .005 for best results.)
EASY DOES IT
One sixteenth (1/16") of an inch on outside diameter of fine feed screw will feed tool in (.005) five thousandth.
Truing Screw Driver CENTER LINE OF WHEEL
12. Hollow grinding is done on the face of the wheel. The length of the grind is regulated by the position of the tool on the wheel.
DRESSING is the cleaning of the grinding wheel, the picking, shearing or crushing action of a dresser. This removes the loaded material from the cutting face of the wheel, exposing the new sharp abrasive grains in the wheel.
TRUING is the truing of out of balance wheels. Dresser edge must be true and at right angle to the grinding face of the wheel when dressing.
SHAPING is accomplished by the use of a dresser and a template shaped the same as the grinding wheel is to be shaped. Some convex and concave shapes can be created free hand.
The art of grinding is to hold the work at the exact angle (desired degree). Then move the work freely across the wheel, removing a slight amount of material at a time. By maintaining a well dressed, trued and shaped wheel; grinding is a simple task.
ADDITIONAL
13. To sharpen and true up garden tools such as hoe, shovel, etc., use BLADE GUIDE.
Place blade guide to the left and under tool clamp and secure with thumb nuts. Keep blade guide back against tool clamp.
Dress a small chamfer on corner of grinding wheel. (This gives a good finish on edge of blade.)
14. Slide tool to be sharpened along blade guide allowing corner of wheel which is protruding to grind tool. Keep blade to be sharpened moving at an even speed.
