Grinding Operation
This belt grinder is a three wheel path belt grinder that uses either a
1.5” x 60” (38 x 1524mm),
or
a 2” x 60” (51 x 1524mm) continuous loop abrasive belt.
For maximum effectiveness, and operator safety use abrasive belts manufactured by well-
respected abrasive manufacturers.
Use abrasive belts that are the proper size and type for your machine.
Do not use abrasive belts that are old or excessively worn.
Do not use abrasive belts that use lap splice joints. Lap spliced belts are prone to separation.
They may also tend to snag your work and create a potential safety hazard by snagging and
propelling the work part in the operator's direction.
The model BG-260-3 was fully tested and verified to comply with requirements prior to shipping.
You should perform the following steps:
1. With the machine securely bolted to its table, pedestal, and/or floor point connect the power
to its source.
2. Adjust the work support (A) and work support
arm to the desired position. Take care that
the gap between the face of the abrasive belt
and the work rest does not exceed 1/8”
(3mm).
3. Insure that the abrasive belt is tensioned
properly. To do this, raise the tensioning
handle (B). You will hear mechanical clicks as
the tensioning ratchet moves. Generally, the
belt will be adequately tensioned when you
hear three to eight clicks. To reduce or
release the belt tension slightly raise the
tensioning handle then press the button in the
center of the tensioning handle. Move the
tensioning handle down slightly to reduce belt
tension or all the way down to release belt
tension.
WARNING:
Be aware that thin section work pieces can pass through the
gap between the belt and the work support if the gap is not properly adjusted.
Ejected work parts can cause serious personal injury!
Be aware of sharp edges and flying debris. Wear proper safety equipment such as
eye and face protection as well as gloves.
