| starting. Do not use in an area where | |
children may be present. | ||
IMPORTANT: Prior to using the grinder, check that | ||
the eye shields, spark deflectors, and tool rests are | ||
fitted and correctly adjusted and that you are wearing | ||
safety gear including eye, hearing and breathing | ||
protection. |
| |
1. Turn the wheel by hand to make sure it does not | ||
| touch the guard, eye shields, spark deflectors or | |
| tool rests and runs freely. | |
2. Stand to one side, turn the switch on and allow the | ||
| motor to reach full speed. | |
| To start grinder: push the right hand side of the | |
| switch. To turn the grinder off, push the left hand | |
| side of the switch. The “ON” and “OFF” positions | |
| are stamped on the switch plate (Fig. 8). If the | |
| grinder does not immediately start, switch the | |
| grinder “OFF”, disconnect the power cord and | |
| check voltage at power source. | |
! |
| To reduce the risk of injury, no |
WARNING | adjustments to tool rests, spark | |
shields or | other components should be made | |
while the grinder wheels are turning. | ||
3. Support the workpiece on the tool rest and | ||
| gradually feed the workpiece onto the wheel. Use | |
| pliers to hold small workpieces. | |
Note. Traverse the workpiece across the full width of | ||
the wheel to prolong its flat surface. | ||
4. If the grinding operation causes the motor speed to | ||
| noticeably decrease, pull back the workpiece, allow | |
| the motor to regain full speed and restart the | |
| grinding operation, but apply less force. | |
|
| To reduce the risk of injury, only use |
! | WARNING | |
| the front face of the grinding wheel, | |
|
| |
not the sides. Note that the workpiece can get | ||
very warm. It may be necessary to cool a | ||
workpiece by dipping it in a coolant or in water. | ||
Do not apply coolant or water to the grinding | ||
wheel. | LED Light | |
Your tool is equipped with LED lights for better visibility in the work area during operation. When the tool is turned on, the light will turn on automatically and stays on until the tool is turned off.
How to true and dress the wheels
Dressing a wheel cleans and levels the front surface to increase efficiency of operation and prevent vibration.
FIG. 8 |
1. Dressing a wheel involves the use of a wheel dresser which is not supplied with the grinder. Follow the manufacturers instructions of the wheel dresser.
2. Adjust the tool rest to allow the front part of the wheel dresser to fit between the tool rest and wheel.
3. Start the motor and move the dresser across the front of the wheel a sufficient number of times until the surface is level. It is not necessary to apply excessive force in an attempt to dress the wheel in one pass of the wheel dresser.
4. Adjust the tool rest so that it is no more than 1.5mm from the wheel.
5. Adjust the spark deflector to ensure the gap between the deflector and wheel is less than 6mm.
Grinder adjustments
During the life of the grinder some adjustments are required to maintain a safe working environment. Please ensure the following:
• Always adjust the eye shields to the most comfortable and most effective angle to suit the task being performed.
• As the wheels wear, the spark deflector must be adjusted to ensure the gap between the spark deflector and wheel does not exceed 6mm.
• As the wheels wear the tool rests must also be adjusted so there in never a gap of greater than 1.5mm between the wheel and the edge of the tool rest.
