OPERATION

NOTE:

Check that there is a 1.5 mm clearance between the tool rests and the 

surface of the grinding wheel. Adjust as necessary. Re-check the gap 

between the spark deflectors and the surface of the grinding wheels. 

These should also be a maximum of 2 mm. Adjust as necessary.

NOTE:

Check that the eyeshields have been secured in the correct position 

and that the grinding wheel lock nuts are tight.

1. Stand to the side of the bench grinder and switch it on using the on/off 

switch.
• Let the grinding wheel reach full speed before grinding. 
• The wheel rotates in the same direction as the arrow stamped in the 

side of the wheel guard.

2. Hold the work piece firmly against the tool rest. Hold very small pieces with 

pliers or other suitable clamps. 

3. Feed the work piece smoothly and evenly against the grinding wheel. 
4. When grinding, always keep the work piece moving across the face of the 

wheel. Grinding against the same part of the wheel will cause uneven 

wear of the wheel face.

5. Grind only on the face of the grinding wheel and never the side of it. 

(Some wheels are designed for side grinding and will say so on their 

packaging.)

NOTE:

Prolonged grinding will cause most tools to become hot. Use care 

when handling hot tools. 

6. Switch the bench grinder off using the on/off switch when you have 

finished.

USING THE BUILT IN LIGHT

The built in light will come on automatically whenever the bench grinder is 

switched on.
The arm can bend to set the light in a suitable position.

CAUTION: KEEP ALL BYSTANDERS A SAFE DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE 

TOOL AND NOT IN DIRECT LINE, FRONT OR BACK OF THE GRINDER. 

CAUTION: ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES
