WARNING: READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WORK AREA SAFETY • Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. • Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust English or fumes. • Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. ELECTRICAL SAFETY • Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs in any earthed (grounded) power tools. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. • Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. • Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded. • Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock. • When operating a power tool outside, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. • Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear to work. The electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and rate a hazard to the operator. PERSONAL SAFETY • Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. • Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. • Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents may cover moving parts and should be avoided. 3 English TOOL USEANDCARE • Turn • Do • Use • Do • • Keep • Do • If • Do • Remove • Avoid • Keep • Use • Maintain • Store may storing or authorized cannot job personal rate loss stable Secure theworkpiece. cannot better Use collection facilities,ensure theseare connectedandproperly used. cause injury. tool on. on Carrying cutting accessories. the recommended avoid other parts, persons.

• Feed the work piece in the correct direction and speed. Feed the work piece into a blade, cutter, or abrasive surface against the direction of the cutting tool’s direction of rotation only. Incorrectly feeding the work piece in the same direction may cause the work piece to be thrown out at high speed. • Never leave the tool running unattended, turn the power off. Do not leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop. • Never start the power tool when any rotating component is in contact with the work piece.
SERVICE
• Have Your Power Tool Serviced by a qualified repair person using English only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. • Service Your Power Tool periodically. When cleaning a tool, be careful not to disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or pinched.
WARNING: READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury. EXTENSION CORDS
Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the power supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown below to determine the required minimum wire size. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example: a 14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size. Guidelines for Using Extension Cords • If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use. • Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. • Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

• Do not stand directly in front of the machine when turning it "ON". Always stand off to the side of the machine and do not allow any part of your body to be in line with the path of the wheel. • Never grind on a cold wheel. The grinder should always be started and allowed to run at idle speed for on full minute before applying work to the grinding wheel. • Never grind on the side of the wheel. Always grind on the face of the wheel only. • Never apply coolant directly to the grinding wheel. Coolant may weaken the bonding strength of the wheel causing it to fail. Dip the hot work piece into water to cool it. • Never start the grinder with the work piece pressed against the grinding wheel or
other attachments (wire brushes, buffing wheels, etc.) English • Always ease the work piece against the wheel when starting to grind. Use light pressure when applying the work piece to the grinding wheel. Excessive pressure can cause the wheel to crack or overload the motor. • Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where an unexpected or sudden slip that could cause your hand or fingers to move into the grinding wheel, wire brush, buffing wheel, etc. • Always keep hands and fingers away from rotating attachments. • Always hold the work piece firmly against the tool rest. Be sure the tool rest is securely tightened in place to prevent movement during use. • Do not grind magnesium or aluminum, fire may result. • Grinding creates hazardous sparks, never operate the grinder near flammable gas, liquids, or in an explosive atmosphere. • Dress the grinding wheel face only. Dressing the wheel sides can cause it to become too thin for safe use. • If any part of the grinder is missing, damaged or fails in any way, or should any electrical component fail to perform properly, shut off the switch. Remove the machine plug from the power source and have damaged, missing, or failed parts replaced before resuming operation. • Clean the grinding dust from beneath the grinder frequently • Do not operate in rain or in damp locations. • Grounding required.

4. Slide the tool rest to within a maximum of 1/16"(1.5 mm) from the wheel. Rotate the wheel one full revolution by hand to ensure the wheel does not contact the tool rest. 5. Tighten the locking knob firmly to retain the assembly. 6. Repeat the assembly operation for the RIGHT tool rest.
Mounting Bench Grinder If during operation of the bench grinder there is any tendency for the grinder to slide or "walk" or to tip over, then the grinder must be secured to a work bench or other supporting surface using fasteners (not supplied) through the two holes in the grinder base. Before mounting the grinder to a work bench or similar surface, determine the ideal mounting position by performing a series of non-powered tests with items that will typically be used on the grinder (e.g. lawn mower blades, scissors, knives, wood chisels, wood turning tools, etc.) These tests runs will help English determine how near the work bench edge the grinder should be mounted so that the bench top does interfere with grinding operations. Be sure the work bench or pedestal to which the bench grinder will be mounted is flat, level, and sturdy enough to bear the weight of the grinder, other tools, and the material being worked.
Changing the Grinding Wheels (FIG 7)
WARNING: Use only grinding wheels rated for 3,600 rpm or higher with a 1/2" arbor hole or appropriate sized bushing. Never use a grinding wheel rated lower than 3,600 rpm or attempt to machine an undersized wheel to fit the arbor. 1. Remove the three bolts (1) attaching the protective side cover (2) to the grinder; then remove the side cover. 1 2. Prevent the shaft from rotating by placing a wedge between the wheel and the tool rest. 3. Facing the front of the bench grinder: to replace the wheel on the left side, turn the arbor nut (3) clockwise to loosen and counterclockwise to tighten the arbor nut. 4.o T replace the wheel on the right: turn counterclockwise to loosen and clockwise to tighten. 2 NOTE: Many grinding wheels use removable and adjustable arbor bushings to allow adaptation to various machine arbor diameters. Save this bushing for future use if not needed to install the replacement wheel. 5. Remove the arbor nut (3), outer flange (4) and the old wheel. 3 6. Install the replacement wheel and outer flange on the shaft. Make sure the wheel is slide fit (not loose) on the shaft. 4 7. Replace the arbor nut and tighten. 8. Replace the side cover. Reinsert the three bolts and tighten the side FIG 7 cover in place. 9. Re-adjust tool rest, spark guard and eye shield. 10. Rotate the wheel by hand to check free movement and proper adjustments.
WARNING: Do not overtighten wheel nuts when installing grinding wheels. Tighten the wheel nut enough to drive the wheel and prevent slippage.

WARNING: Never sharpen or grind anything made of or containing aluminum or magnesium. Because grinders can remove material rapidly, a freshly dressed wheel and the amount of work piece pressure applied to the wheel are keys to efficient grinding. Use the following basic guidelines to aid in working metals and avoid overheating: • Never force the work piece against the grinding wheel. • Always keep the work piece constantly moving against the grinding wheel with light pressure and even motion. • Keep the work piece cool by maintaining a container of water nearby for dipping the work piece.
• Always use the face of the grinding wheel with the wheel moving downward, into the object English being worked. • Do not perform grinding operations on the side of the wheel.
Lawn Mower Blades
As you prepare to sharpen the lawn mower blade, ensure there is adequate working space to maneuver the blade. Lawn mower blades are generally sharpened on the beveled side and then dressed up slightly on the other side with the grinder or file. First remove any nicks that may be present on the cutting edge by resting the blade flat on the tool rest, moving the blade side to side until the edge is nick free. To sharpen the bevel, either adjust the tool rest angle to match the blade’s bevel angle or hold the blade at the bevel angle while resting a portion of the blade on the tool rest for added stability. Use a light touch, removing as little metal as possible to attain the desired edge; then lightly dress-up the flat backside of the blade. Ideally, lawn mower blades should not be honed to razor like sharpness; this increases the likelihood of nicking and promotes rapid dulling. Use a file or the bench grinder to lightly face the cutting edge. After the blade has been sharpened, be sure to check the blade’s balance with an appropriate shop made jig or commercially available unit. Balance the blade by progressively removing metal until balance is attained.
WARNING: An unbalanced lawn mower blade may cause excessive vibration, causing damage to the mower and engine shaft.
Sharpening Twist Drill Bits: Sharpening twist drills can be a tricky operation that even some experienced mechanics never master. Sharpening twist bits freehand will require considerable practice and dry runs with the grinder "OFF" to acquire the skill of rotating the bit while maintaining the original cutting edge angle. If you anticipate sharpening numerous bits consider purchasing a specialized sharpening jig, available at most hardware and home centers. A typical technique for sharpening a twist drill bit is as follows: 1. Set the grooved tool rest horizontal to the face of the grinding wheel. 2. Hold the drill shank between the thumb and index finger, resting the back of the index finger on the tool rest. 3. Be sure that the cutting lip is straight across the face of the wheel before beginning each stroke 4. When the drill contacts the wheel, push the drill shank downward and to the left at a slight angle. At the same time, rotate the drill so the other lip is just visible. 5. Repeat this process on the other lip to sharpen the entire twist drill.
