CHISELS AND SCREWDRIVER BLADES
When sharpening chisels and screwdrivers, work rest should support the chisel at the
correct angle against the wheel.
WARNING:
Always disconnect the bench grinder from the power source before
performing any assembly or adjustment. Failure to do so could result in accidental
starting resulting in possible serious personal injury.
WHEEL REPLACEMENT
If you must replace a grinding wheel, be sure to obtain one with a
safe rated speed greater than the “no load speed” RPM marked on
the data plate of the grinder and which is marked to comply with
ANSI B7.1.
To replace the grinding wheel, remove the wheel cover by loosening
the screws. Loosen the wheel nut in a clockwise direction for the left
side and a counterclockwise direction for the right side. The wheels
do not have a locking mechanism. Hold the wheel in place with one
hand while loosen the wheel nut with the other hand. Remove the
outer flange and grinding wheel. To install a new grinding wheel,
reverse the above procedure. Be sure the grinding wheel and outer
flange are properly seated on the spindle shaft.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other
part may create hazard or cause product damage.
GENERAL
Keep the bench grinder clean. Remove dust from working parts and beneath the grinder
frequently.
Make sure the bench grinder operates properly. Check screws, nuts, and bolts for
tightness.
NOTE: This bench grinder has been sufficiently lubricated from the factory therefore the
bench grinder does not need any additional lubrication during the lifetime of the grinder.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep the loss to a
minimum and to prevent tool overheating, use an extension cord that is heavy enough
to carry the current the tool will draw.
A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for an extension cord 25 feet
or less in length. When working outdoors, use an extension cord that is suitable for
outdoor use. The cord's jacket will be marked WA.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged, replace
immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area
could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
