Maintenance 

For  safety,  turn  the  switch  to  OFF  and  remove 
plug  from  the  power  source  outlet  before 
adjusting  and  maintaining  the  bench  grinder.  If 
the  power  cord  is  worn,  cut  or  damaged  in  any 
way, have it replaced immediately. 

Ring Test 

Before  replacing  a  grinding  wheel,  perform  this 
simple test on the replacement wheel: 

1.  Loop  a  piece  of  string  through  the  grinding 

wheel  hole  and  suspend  the  wheel  by 
holding up the string. 

2.  Tap the wheel with a piece of scrap wood or 

a wooden dowel. 

A  good  wheel  will  "ring";  a  defective  wheel  will 
"thud".  Discard  any  wheel  that  does  not  "ring". 
An internal defect may not be apparent by visual 
inspection  alone.  The  ring  test  may  uncover  an 
internal crack or void. 

Care of Grinding Wheel 

In  normal  use,  grinding  wheels  may  become 
cracked,  grooved,  rounded  at  the  edges, 
chipped,  out  of  true  or  loaded  with  foreign 
material. 

Cracked 

wheels 

should 

be 

replaced 

IMMEDIATELY.  While  any  of  the  other 
conditions can be remedied with a dressing tool 
(available at most hardware stores), new wheels 
sometimes  require  dressing  to  make  them 
round. 

Changing Wheels 

If  you  must  replace  a  wheel  be  sure  to  obtain 
one with a safe rated speed at least as high as 
the 

NO

 

LOAD RPM 

marked  on  the  grinder's 

nameplate. Refer to Table 2 to determine correct 
dimensions for the replacement wheel.

Table 2 

Your  bench  grinder  will  accept  most  polishing 
and  buffing  wheels  available  at  dealers  and 
hardware stores. 

  The  use  of  any  other 

accessory  is  not  recommended  and  may 
result in serious injury! 

To change a wheel (refer to Figure 4): 

1.  Disconnect grinder from the power source. 

2.  Loosen the 

spark guard

 (A) and 

tool rest

 (B) 

(refer to the Adjustment section on page 11) 
and  move  the  spark  guard  and  tool  rest 
away from the wheel. 

3.  Remove the guard cover using a Phillips or 

flathead screwdriver. 

4.  Stabilize  the  wheel  by  holding  the  opposite 

wheel firmly. 

5.  Unscrew the 

wheel nut 

(C) with a 1" wrench. 

Note

: Turn the locking nut on the right-hand 

wheel  counterclockwise  to  loosen.  Turn  the 
locking nut on the left-hand wheel clockwise 
to loosen. 

6.  Remove the outer flange (D) and wheel (E). 

7.  Clean  flanges.  Check  the  flanges  to  make 

sure they are flat. Wheel flanges that are not 
flat will cause the wheel to wobble. 

8.  Put the inner flange, wheel (E), outer flange 

(D) and nut (C) on the shaft. Tighten the nut. 
Do  not  over  tighten.  This  may  cause  the 
wheel to crack. 

9.  Replace  the  guard  cover.  Adjust  the  spark 

guards  and  tool  rests  to  a  1/16"  clearance 
from  the  wheel  (see 

Adjustments on 

page
