USING THE LED LIGHT (FIG. K)

1.  Press the LED light switch (2) down to 

turn the LED light "ON".

2.  Press the LED switch (2) again to turn the 

LED light "OFF".

To avoid injury from an accidental start,

a power outlet.

GENERAL OPERATION

Keep all bystanders a safe distance away 

from the tool and not in direct line, front or 

back of the grinder.

1.  Your bench grinder has a medium wheel 

(60 grit) for medium material removal and 

general purpose grinding, and a coarse 

wheel (36 grit) for fast material removal.

2.  To operate the bench grinder, always 

wear safety glasses and turn the tool on 

while standing at the side and not in front 

of the grinder. Allow it to reach full speed 

before grinding.

3.  Hold the workpiece firmly against the tool 

rest. Hold very small pieces with pliers or 

other suitable clamps.

4.  Feed the workpiece smoothly and evenly 

into the grinding wheel.

5.  Move the workpiece slowly and avoid 

jamming the workpiece against the wheel. 

If the wheel tends to slow down from 

excessive force, you should occasionally 

release the pressure to let the wheel 

return to full speed.

6.  The grinding wheels supplied with this 

unit are designed for different types of 

steel, wrought iron, and bronze.

7.  Never sharpen or grind anything made of 

aluminum, brass, copper, wood, plastic or 

any other non-metallic materials.

Grind only on the face of the grinding 

wheel and never the side of it.

Prolonged grinding will cause most 

materials to become hot. Use care when 

handling such materials.

SCISSORS

If possible, take the scissors apart to make 

the sharpening operation easier and safer. 

Remove material only from the outside 

surface and work from the heavy end of the 

blade toward the tip.

KNIVES

Remove metal from both faces of most 

knives, working from the heavy end of the 

blade toward the tip.
