DO NOT allow the grinding wheel to stay immersed in water for long periods of time without running. The water can cause the wheel to become waterlogged and unbalanced and may cause sections of the wheel to break off when the grinder is started. Always empty or lower the reservoir to the storage position when the grinder will not be used.
Here are some tips for using your wet grinder water reservoir:
•Check the water level before every use and be sure the wheel is wet before you begin grinding. DO NOT use the grinder without water.
•Leaving the grinding wheel stored in water will cause damage to the wheel and create potential hazards because the wheel will become unbalanced. Once any grinding process is complete, return the reservoir to the storage posi- tion to prevent prolonged water expo- sure to the wheel.
•Empty, rinse, and refill the reservoir regularly. This prevents metal and stone from accumulating in the reser- voir.
•Place a magnet in the reservoir to catch and collect metal filings. This will help prevent excessive metal accumu- lation on the grinding wheel.
Angle Guide
The Model T10010 Wet Grinder comes with an angle guide to help identify and maintain the cutting angle on a variety of tools.
To use the angle guide: | |

2.Find the angle notch that best fits the tool you wish to grind by placing the sharpened edge of the workpiece into each notch.
3.Place the angle guide on the wheel with the desired angle notch (found in Step 2) against the wheel and adjacent to the universal support (Figure 12).
