Dust Collection Test Run

DO NOT operate the Model G0596/G0597/ G0598/G0599 without an adequate dust col- lection system. This grinder creates substan- tial amounts of dust while operating. Failure to use a dust collection system can result in short and long-term respiratory illness.

The Model G0596/G0597/G0598/G0599 features a dust port at the rear of the grinding wheel. If a dust collection system is not attached, both ports have spark deflectors that direct sparks down- ward.

To connect a dust collection hose:

1.Remove the spark deflector.

2.Fit the dust hose over the dust port, as shown in Figure 5, and secure in place with a hose clamp.

3.Tug the hose to make sure it does not come off. Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper performance.

The test run ensures that the grinder and grinder wheels were not damaged during shipping.

To test run the grinder:

1.Review and understand all grinder safety information.

2.Remove the wheels and closely inspect the overall conditions. Follow this by performing a "Ring Test" (see Wheel Inspection on Page 15 and Wheel Replacement on Page 16).

3.Plug the grinder into the power source.

4.Put on safety glasses and face shield.

5.Stand to the side of the line of the wheels rotation, turn the grinder ON, and allow it to run a least one minute, before standing in front of it.

—The grinder should run smoothly.

—Grinding wheels should run true without noticeable vibration.

—If there is an obvious problem with the way the grinder is running, turn it OFF immedi- ately and troubleshoot the problem, using the troubleshooting table on Page 18. DO NOT operate the grinder until it is fixed.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD! DO NOT
