Before using the bench grinder, familiarise yourself with all the operating features and safety requirements.
The GMC Bench Grinders are designed for light to moderate duty applications in a home environment. They are not intended for use by trade persons. They are ideal for sharpening tools such as drill bits and chisels. The larger tools can be applied to heavier grinding applications on steel sections. These grinders are not a continuously rated tool and should not be operated for more than 10 minutes continuously at a time under load. If the tool is used for this period of time under load the grinder should then be turned off for a minimum of
30 minutes.
All the bench grinders can be fitted with a wire wheel provided that the wheel is rated for use at 3000RPM or higher.

and dust will project from these exhausts5 from the rear. Ensure the following:
•Combustable items are not directly behind the grinder.
•During use ensure other persons are not directly behind the grinder.
•Never attempt to connect any form of dust extraction machine to the grinder.
