Assembly 

Your  bench  grinder  requires  only  the  assembly  of 
the eye shields and tool rests. For your safety, do 
not  plug  the  grinder  into  a  power  source  until  all 
adjustments  are  complete.  An  adjustable  wrench 
and a Phillips screwdriver are the only tools you will 
need  to  make  all  normal  adjustments  and  wheel 
changes on this grinder. 

  Be  sure  that  the  bench  grinder 

is  unplugged  and  the  power  switch  is  in  the 
OFF position. 

  Do  not  plug  in  the  grinder  to 

power until it is inspected for shipping damage, 
fully  assembled,  and  moved  to  it1s  permanent 
location!  Failure  to  comply  may  cause  serious 
injury! 

  Do  not  operate  this  grinder 

without  all  guards  and  shields  in  place  and  in 
working  order!  Failure  to  comply  may  cause 
serious injury! 

 Chipped or cracked wheels can 

break  up  and  cause  serious  damage  to  the 
grinder  and/or  severe  injury  to  the  operator! 
Regularly inspect wheels for damage!
