							EXTENSION 
CORD 
USAGE
Extension 
cords 
are 
not 
recommended 
for 
use 
with 
this 
bench 
grinder
. Extension
cords, 
if used, 
must 
be 
properly 
grounded 
with 
a 3-prong 
plug 
on 
one 
and 
a 3-hole
receptacle 
on 
the 
other
. DO 
NOT 
use 
grounding 
adapters 
with 
an 
extension 
cord.

Extension 
cords 
should 
never 
exceed 
25 
feet 
in length. 
Extension 
cords, 
that 
are 
too
long, 
cause 
a voltage 
drop 
over 
the 
extra 
distance 
causing 
the 
grinder 
motor 
to 
run
slower 
with 
the 
possibility 
of 
causing 
damage 
to 
the 
motor
. Using 
extension 
cords
with 
smaller 
than 
the 
recommended 
wire 
gauge 
run 
the 
risk 
of 
getting 
too 
hot,

GROUNDING 
INSTRUCTIONS
The 
electrical 
power 
sour
ce

this 
bench 
grinder 
MUST 
be 
grounded 
in order 
pre-
vent 
possible 
electric 
shock 
or 
even 
death 
should 
the 
tool 
malfunction 
or 
break-
down. 
Grounding 
provides 
a path 
of 
least 
resistance 
for 
electric 
current 
thus 
reduc-
ing 
the 
risk 
of 
electrical 
shock. 
The 
power 
sour
ce 
must 
also 
use 
a minimum 
20A
ser
vice 
and 
not 
used 
if other 
power 
tools 
on 
the 
same 
circuit 
are 
in use.
This 
bench 
grinder 
is equipped 
with 
a grounded 
3-wire 
power 
cord 
with 
a 3-prong
plug. 
If the 
power 
cord 
will 
not 
fit 
into 
the 
wall 
plug, 
an 
approved 
adapter 
can 
be
used 
as 
long 
as 
it is connected 
to 
the 
center 
screw 
in 
the 
wall 
plate. 
Never 
modify
the 
electrical 
plug 
by 
cutting 
off 
the 
grounding 
prong 
so 
it will 
fit 
into 
unapproved,
un-grounded 
electrical 
receptacles. 
See 
Figure

GRINDING 
STONE.
Coolant 
can 
weaken 
the 
makeup 
of the
grinding 
stones 
causing 
them 
to 
fail. 
Dip 
the 
work 
piece 
in water 
to 
cool 
it.
DO 
NOT

GRINDER 
OPERA
TIONS
•Before 
starting 
any 
grinding 
operation, 
check 
the 
grinding 
wheels 
are 
properly
dressed 
and 
have 
no 
rounded 
edges, 
gouges, 
or 
grooves. 
Refer 
to 
the 
section,
“Maintenance 
and 
Cleaning”
(page 
15-18) 
for 
procedures 
on 
dressing 
the
grinding 
wheels.
•Ensure 
the 
tool 
rests 
are 
securely 
tightened 
and 
the 
eye 
shields 
are 
in place 
and
properly 
tightened.
•Allow 
the 
grinder 
to 
run 
for 
at least 
one 
minute
to 
warm 
up 
the 
grinding
wheels. 
NEVER 
place 
a work 
piece 
against 
a “COLD” 
grinding 
wheel.
•The 
bench 
grinder 
is equipped 
with 
two 
aluminum 
oxide 
grinding 
wheels 
- one
36 
grit 
(coarse) 
and 
one 
60 
grit 
(medium).
•Place 
the 
work 
piece 
on 
the 
tool 
rest 
and 
apply 
even 
pressure 
as 
contact 
is
made 
with 
the 
abrasive 
stones. 
•If the 
grinder 
is being 
used 
to 
sharpen 
heavy 
tools 
such 
as 
axes 
or 
lawnmower
blades, 
start 
by 
using 
the 
coarse 
grinding 
wheel. 
This 
wheel 
removes 
a greater
amount 
of 
sur
face. 
Then 
repeat 
the 
procedure 
using 
the 
medium 
wheel 
to 
give
the 
tools 
a finished 
sharpening. 
NOTE: 
The 
finished 
edges 
on 
heavy 
tools 
such
as 
axes 
or 
lawnmower 
blades 
need 
not 
be 
ground 
to 
a fine 
edge 
like 
that 
of 
a
pocket 
knife 
or 
scissor
. The 
edge 
needs 
to 
be 
free 
of 
nicks 
and 
uneven 
edges
for 
maximum 
performance. 
A fine 
edge 
will 
only 
become 
damaged 
easier
requiring 
more 
frequent 
sharpening.
• When 
sharpening 
tools, 
start 
on 
one 
end 
of 
the 
tool 
and 
slide 
its 
sur
face 
across
the 
grinding 
stone 
in a firm 
even 
speed 
and 
pressure. 
Reverse 
the 
direction 
for
the 
other 
side.
When 
sharpening 
tools 
on 
a grinder
, avoid 
letting 
the
tool 
stay 
in 
one 
place 
until 
it becomes 
“RED 
HOT
.”
You 
will 
notice 
area 
will
change 
color
, possibly 
to 
a bluish 
tint, 
when 
the 
tool 
cools. 
This 
change 
in color
and 
the 
exposure 
to 
high 
heat 
can 
alter 
the 
tempering 
of 
the 
metal 
making 
it
more 
brittle 
and 
subject 
to 
frequent 
sur
face 
damage.

Using 
a wrench, 
loosen 
and 
remove 
the 
Arbor 
Nut 
(4) 
from 
the 
Motor 
Spindle 
(8).
The 
Motor 
Spindle 
has 
left-hand 
threads 
on 
the 
left 
side
and 
right-hand 
threads 
on 
the 
right 
side. 
Left-hand 
threads 
LOOSEN 
by 
turn-
ing 
them 
clockwise 
where 
as 
right 
hand 
threads 
loosen 
by 
turning 
them
counter
-clockwise. 
This 
prevents 
the 
spindle 
nuts 
from 
becoming 
loose 
dur-
ing 
grinder 
operations.
DO 
NOT 
attempt 
to 
“grind” 
work 
pieces 
made 
of 
WOOD
or 
MAGNESIUM. 
Using 
wood 
with 
a bench 
grinder 
could 
easily 
start 
a fire 
or
cause 
severe 
irreversible 
damage 
to 
the 
work 
piece. 
Grinding 
work 
pieces
made 
of 
magnesium 
or 
magnesium 
alloys 
can 
ignite 
causing 
sudden 
ver
y
intense 
fires. 
Magnesium 
fires 
cannot 
be 
easily 
extinguished. 
ABSOLUTEL
Y
DO 
NOT 
THROW 
WATER 
ON 
A MAGNESIUM 
FIRE.

GUISHER 
RA
TED 
FOR 
SUCH 
FIRES 
OR 
CALL 
FOR 
ASSIST
ANCE 
(9-1-1). 
When
water 
is 
introduced 
to 
a magnesium 
fire, 
the 
sudden 
temperature 
change
could 
cause 
the 
metal 
to 
explode 
sending 
ver
y hot 
pieces 
throughout 
the
work 
area 
possibly 
igniting 
other 
fires.
•Use 
optional 
accessories 
such 
as 
wire 
wheels 
and 
buffing 
wheels 
to 
create 
finishing 
touches 
to 
your 
work 
piece.
•WIRE 
WHEELS
should 
never 
be 
used 
on 
work 
pieces 
that 
are 
polished 
or 
have
a textured 
sur
face. 
The 
wheel 
will 
deface 
these 
sur
faces. 
Like 
grinding 
stones,
work 
pieces 
can 
be 
held 
too 
long 
against 
the 
wire 
wheels 
resulting 
in high 
temperatures 
and 
possible 
damage 
to 
the 
work 
piece.

is called 
“dress-
ing 
the 
wheel.” 
Use 
a suitable 
silicone 
carbide, 
stick-type 
dresser 
or 
the 
wheel
dresser 
provided 
with 
the 
grinder
. An 
uneven 
grinding 
wheel 
can 
cause 
poor 
results
upon 
grinding 
items 
that 
use 
the 
entire 
sur
face 
of 
the 
wheel. 
Follow 
the

Dress 
the 
grinding 
wheel 
by 
moving 
the 
dresser 
back 
and 
forth.
4. 
Repeat 
this 
operation 
until 
the 
sur
face 
of 
the 
grinding 
wheel 
is clean 
and 
free 
of
grooves 
or 
gouges 
and 
the 
wheel 
edges 
are 
square 
to 
the 
wheel 
sur
face.
