Bench Mounting

1.The grinder should be unplugged.

2.Remove the drilling template from this manual (page 36) and place it in position of the bench. Check for the availability of power for the grinder. Tape the template to the bench.

3.Using a center punch, transfer the hole centers for drilling.

4.Drill appropriate sized holes.

5.Insert M8 hex head bolts through washers and the holes. You may want to use washers on the underside of the bench as well.
