This instruction manual should be read before assembling or using your bench grinder.
All instructions should be strictly adhered to so the safety of yourself and others is
protected. Keep this manual handy for future reference.
1) The grinder and all accessories are designed and manufactured to be used only by persons
trained in their proper use and only for their intended purpose. They are not intended for lengthy
continuous usage. i.e. Turn ON, Sharpen Tool, Turn OFF
2) Follow assembly instructions closely and do not plug machine into mains power until all
guards are firmly attached in the correct position (and remain so) and all parts are securely
fitted.
3) Make sure the grinder is securely clamped or bolted to your workbench or pedestal stand
and that the workbench or stand is securely attached to the floor.
4) Make sure the switch is in the
off
position before connecting to mains power. Any
adjustments or maintenance should be made with the grinder unplugged from its power source.
Ensure any keys or wrenches are removed.
5) Ensure the machine is electrically grounded. The plug must match the outlet and must never
be modified in any way. Long extension leads should not be used due to voltage drop.
6) Ensure the work area is clean and well lit. Do not use in wet or damp conditions. Keep
children and bystanders away.
7) Eye protection should always be used. Normal optical spectacles are not sufficient. Neck ties
should be removed and sleeves rolled up. Long hair and loose clothing should be secured. Do
not wear gloves. Non slip footwear or anti-slip footwear is recommended. Hearing protection
should be used for prolonged use.
8) Never use the grinder if impaired by tiredness, alcohol, drugs or medication.
9) The action of grinding will produce dust and/or particles from both the material being ground
and the grinding wheel or belt. Depending on the product being ground, these particles & dust
may be harmful to your health. Ensure the area is well ventilated and that suitable dust mask or
breathing apparatus is used.
10) Never leave a running grinder unattended. Do not leave the work area until it has come to a
complete stop.
11) Your grinder should only ever be serviced by a qualified repair person. To ensure safety
integrity, we recommend using only genuine
