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 top eye shield bracket must be adjusted to ensure the gap between the bracket and the 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.
Maintenance
Prior to any maintenance ensure the power has been turned off and the plug is removed so that the grinder is fully disconnected from the 240V supply.
Lubrication
1.All models use
2.If the wheels do not rotate freely, the bearings should be replaced by an authorised service centre.
3.On the wet and dry grinder/sharpener, the lubrication of the worm drive should be checked after each 50 hours of operation by an authorised service centre.
Cleaning
1.Keep the outside of the grinder clean by brushing grinding dust and dirt away from all areas where the dust tends to build up.
2.Wipe the guards and grinder with a soft damp cloth. A mild detergent can also be used.
3.Wipe the eye shields with a soft damp cloth, making sure not to scratch the surface. A mild detergent can also be used.
