2.NEVER STICK AN OBJECT AGAINST A WHEEL TO STOP THE GRINDER. Let it slow on its own.

3.ALWAYS USE THE TOOL REST AND SAFETY GUARDS. Supports and guards are essential for safe grinder operation.

4.USE ONLY PROPERLY SIZED WHEELS. The wrong sized wheel can dangerously increase or decrease operating speed at the grinding surface. A wheel that is too large could come in contact with the wheel housing, potentially damaging the machine.

5.ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. The grinder can throw off sparks and tiny metal shards. Use eye protection to avoid operator injury.

6.ADJUST TOOL REST PROPERLY. The grinder has the potential for binding against a work- piece introduced at an improper angle – and send it flying. Avoid grinding your workpiece at angles greater than 90° to the direction of wheel travel.

7.ALLOW GRINDER TO REACH FULL SPEED. Let the grinding wheel reach its full operating speed before using the grinder.

8.SECURE GRINDER. Attach the grinder firmly to your benchtop. Secure attachment will ensure your grinder will not move when operated.

9.AVOID OVERHEATING WORKPIECE. Excessive or prolonged grinding on a workpiece can heat it to the point where it becomes dangerous to the operator. Excessive grinding can also soften your workpiece and ruin its edge.

10.NEVER GRIND SMALL STOCK. Do not attempt to grind or sharpen anything that cannot be adequately supported by the tool rest. Use clamping pliers or a similar holder when grinding parts which cannot be held easily by hand.

11.KEEP A CLEAN WORK AREA. The chances of an accident are far less if the area around your grinder is kept free of clutter.

12.AVOID LOOSE FITTING CLOTHING AND TIE BACK LONG HAIR. A grinder’s spindle, spin- ning at 3,450 RPM, can suck a tremendous amount of material in a very short time – given the chance. Don’t give it the chance.

X. MAINTENANCE

Your grinder requires very little maintenance. The bearings are lubricated and sealed at the factory and require no maintenance during their lifetimes. The grinding wheels will eventually be worn to the point where replacement is necessary. Grizzly carries a wide assortment of wheel types and grits designed for this machine. See the latest Grizzly catalog for pricing and ordering information. CAU-

TION: IF YOU DROP A WHEEL, DO NOT EVER USE IT. THE TINY FRACTURES CREATED BY THE IMPACT COULD CAUSE THE WHEEL TO EXPLODE AND INJURE YOU SEVERELY.

To remove and replace a wheel:

1.Remove the eyeshield and the outside wheel housing cover.
