ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
ASSEMBLING TOOL RESTS
1.The tool rest arms (F) Fig. 3, are universal and can be attached to either side of the grinder. Assemble adjustable tool rest (J) Fig. 3, to left side of tool rest arm
(F) Fig. 3, as shown, and fasten with one bolt (1) Fig. 2, and one washer (7) Fig. 2, as shown. Assemble the remaining tool rest to the right side of the other tool rest arm in the same manner. Do not completely tighten hardware at this time.
2.To identify the left & right tool rests place them, as they would be assembled on the tool Fig. 4. The left tool rest will have a threaded hole on the right side of the tool rest, and the right tool rest will have a threaded hole on the left side of the tool rest.
3.Attach left tool rest assembly Fig. 4, to the inside of left wheel guard, and fasten with two bolts (2) Fig. 2, and two washers (7) Fig. 2 as shown.
4.Attach right tool rest assembly to the inside of right wheel guard and fasten with two bolts (2) Fig. 2 and two washers (7) Fig. 2 in the same manner.
5.Each tool rest assembly Fig. 4, is adjustable so it can be positioned slightly below the centerline of the wheel and as close to the grinding wheel as possible, giving maximum support to the piece that is being ground. A distance of 1/8-inch or less between the grinding wheel and the inside edge of the tool rest should always be maintained.
6.When the tool rest is positioned correctly, tighten the hardware. As the grinding wheel wears down to a smaller diameter, re-adjust the tool rest closer to the wheel. Freehand grinding without the use of a tool rest should always be done on the lower quarter of the wheel.
ASSEMBLING SPARK GUARDS
The spark guard (I) Fig. 5, is to be mounted to the side of each wheel guard, using one bolt (4) Fig. 2, and one washer (8) Fig. 2 as shown. The spark guard (I) should be adjusted as close as possible to the grinding wheel so that sparks never strike the operator’s hand. As the wheels wear down, the spark guard (I) should be adjusted accordingly.
