OPERATIONS

IMPORTANT: KEEP SPARK GUARDS AND EYE SHIELDS IN PLACE AT ALL TIMES.

Fig. 18

Figures 18, 19, and 20 illustrate several typical opera-

 

tions that can be accomplished using the grinder. Each

 

tool rest should be positioned a little below the center of

 

the grinding wheel and adjusted so the edge of the tool

 

rest is as close as possible to the grinding wheel for maxi-

 

mum support to the piece that is being ground.This is

 

the most practical and safest position for general work.

 

As the grinding wheel wears down to a smaller diameter,

 

readjust the tool rest closer to the grinding wheel. A dis-

 

tance of 1/8" or less between the grinding wheel and the

 

edge of the tool rest should always be maintained. Free-

 

hand grinding without the use of the tool rest should

 

always be done on the lower quarter of the grinding

 

wheel. Read the “SAFETY RULES” in the front of this

 

manual and follow them while operating this tool.
