Water Reservoir

The Model T10097 Wet Grinder is designed for wet grinding and should never be used without some kind of fluid.

The mounting tabs on the reservoir serve as hooks to attach to the reservoir mount- ing slots (Figure 12).

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 remove the reser- voir to the storage position when the grinder will not be used.

NOTICE

DO NOT attempt to use the grinding wheel without filling the reservoir with water. Overheating caused by lack of lubrication could damage the grinding wheel, as well as the tool or blade you are grinding. Ensure that the reservoir is filled with clean water. Sediment-filled water can clog the wheel and lessen the effective- ness of the grinder.

To fill and position the reservoir:

1.. Make sure the grinder is disconnected from power and that the grinding wheel is not rotating.

2.. Remove reservoir, clean it out, and fill with water to just below the V-shaped notch.

3.. Attach the reservoir to the grinder.

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. Drain or remove the reservoir when not in use.

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 accumulation on the grinding wheel.
