BASIC OPERATION
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust.
If operation is dusty, wear a dust mask.
To be efficient and work as designed, your tools should be
kept sharp. Dull tools can and will cause accidents.
Bench Grinders are ideal for sharpening tools such as
chisels, planer blades, scissors, etc., and for removing
rust or corrosion.
WARNING:
Never sharpen or grind anything made of aluminum.
Grinders remove material rapidly so pressure is the key to
efficient grinding.
The proper way to sharpen a tool and avoid overheating
is:
■ Keep a tool on the work rest firmly at the correct the
wheel.
■ Keep the object in constant motion, moving it at an
even pace.
■ Never force a tool against the grinding wheel.
■ Keep the tool cool by using either a cooling tray, or a
pan of water.
■ The grinding wheel should rotate "into" the object being
sharpened.
NOTE:
Excessive pressure may damage the tool, cause the
motor to overheat, and prematurely wear down the
grinding wheel.
WARNING:
Excessive pressure on a cold wheel can cause the wheel
to crack.
