SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE

Disconnect power to the

machine when perform-

ing

any maintenance,

assembly

or

adjust-

ments. Failure to do this

may

result

in

serious

personal injury.

 

General

 

 

Always be aware of the condition of your machine.

Routinely check the condition of the following

items and repair or replace as necessary:

Damaged or loose grinding wheels.

Loose mounting bolts.

Worn switch.

Worn or damaged cord.

Worn or damaged support bearings.

Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.

Lubrication

Sealed and pre-lubricated ball bearings require no lubrication for the life of the bearings. All bear- ings are standard sizes, and replacements can be purchased from our Parts Department or a bear- ing supply store.

Grinding Wheels

The grinding wheel should be visually inspected before every use. Take care in storing grinding wheels to keep them free from potential dam- age due to being dropped or having other items dropped on them. Store all grinding wheels in a dry location. Type 50 grinding wheels should be stored vertically with cushioning material between each wheel.

If a grinding wheel diameter has been reduced to 5", the wheel must be replaced. Operating a wheel at anything less than this diameter can lead to wheel explosion and serious personal injury.

Grinding wheels will require periodic dressing. Refer to the “Wheel Dressing” instructions on Page 19 for details on how this is done.
