Installing Eye Shields

TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY.

 

Remove the steel strip from the top surface of each eye shield by

English

removing the two screws. Install the shields, (they are identical and

 

will fit either side) to the brackets, as shown in Fig. 4. Tighten screws

 

securely. Adjust eye shields so they are between the wheels and your

 

eyes.

 

EYE SHIELDS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO REPLACE SAFETY

 

GLASSES.

 

Tighten the shields in place by tightening the plastic knob in the

 

bracket assembly. Remove protective paper cover.

 

Operation

 

NEVER USE A BENCH GRINDER IF IT IS NOT FIRMLY

 

FASTENED TO A WORK BENCH OR RIGID FRAME. Before turning

 

the grinder on, put on safety glasses. Turn on the grinder and allow

 

it to reach full speed (3450 RPM - DW756, 3600 RPM - DW758).

 

Hold the workpiece firmly and against the tool rest. Hold very small

 

pieces with pliers or other suitable clamps. Feed the work smoothly

 

and evenly into the grinding wheel. Move the work slowly and avoid

 

jamming the work against the wheel. As the wheel tends to slow

 

down you should occasionally release the pressure to let the wheel

 

return to full speed.

 

Grind only on the face of the grinding wheel and never on the side.

 

(Some wheels are designed for side grinding and will say so on their

 

instruction sheets).

 

CAUTION: Prolonged grinding will cause most materials to

 

become hot. Handle them with pliers or thick gloves.

 

Switch

 

The switch is located on the front of the grinder, on the base. (Figure

1)To turn the tool on depress the side of the rocker switch on the left side, marked “ON”. To turn off the grinder, depress the right side of the rocker switch, marked “OFF”.
