Test Run
Once assembly is complete and a grinding wheel is installed (see Installing/Changing
Grinding Wheel on Page 16 for detailed
instructions), test run the grinder to make sure it runs properly and is ready for regular operation.
The test run consists of verifying the following:
•The motor powers up and runs correctly.
•The safety mechanism works correctly.
Note: The Model T10493 has a locking slide switch. Models T10494 and T10495 have a trigger safety button that must be
depressed before the trigger operates.
If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the tool immediately,
then review Troubleshooting on Page 14.
If you still cannot remedy a problem, con- tact our Tech Support at (570)
To test run the grinder:
1.DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER!
2.Rotate the wheel by hand and make sure it turns freely and is tightly secure on the spindle.
3.Confirm that the guard and handle are in a safe configuration and securely in place.
T10493, T10494 & T10495 (Mfg Since 10/11)
4.Make sure you have read and understand the safety instructions at the beginning of the manual and that the grinder is setup properly.
5.Connect the grinder to power, as shown on Page 8. For Model T10493 proceed to Step 6; for Models T10494 and T10495 skip to Step 7.
6.While firmly holding the grinder, turn the grinder ON. The switch should lock in the ON position.
—If operating correctly, the grinder will remain running. Depressing the switch will make it spring back and turn the tool OFF. The grinder is ready to use.
—If the locking slide switch does not automatically return to the OFF position when pressed, it is not functioning properly. Turn the tool OFF and contact Tech Support.
7.Press the safety button then pull the trigger.
—If operating correctly, the tool will turn on and remain running as long as you hold down the trigger. Proceed to Step 8.
—If the tool does not turn ON the trigger is not working properly. Disconnect power and contact Tech Support.
8.Try to depress the trigger without pressing the trigger safety button.
—If the grinder does turn ON the trigger safety is not working properly. Turn the tool OFF and contact Tech Support.
