-
Lawn mower blades are usually sharpened on only one edge and dressed up slightly on the other. Perform this sharpening process on both cutting ends of the blade. After sharpening, balance the blade by removing additional material.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY
POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
WARNING
To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the tool, use proper
circuit protection. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. Your
grinder is wired at the factory for 120 V operation. Connect to a 120 V, 5 Amp
circuit and use a 5 Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or
fire, if power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced
immediately.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from
electrical shock.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN , grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric currents and reduces the risk of electric shock.
This tool is equipped with an electrical cord that has an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching
receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the receptacle, have
the proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in
risk of electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or
without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electrical cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you do not
completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not certain
the tool is properly grounded.
USE only 3-wire extension cords that have three-pronged grounding plugs with
three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. Repair or replace damaged
or worn cords immediately.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must not be less
than #18 wire and should be protected with a 5 Amp time lag fuse. Before
connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the off
position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on
the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. Use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power, overheating and burning out of the motor. The
table below shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always
replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified technician
before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive
heat and damp or wet areas.

WARNING
This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp
locations.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle like the one
illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows a three-pronged electrical plug and
receptacle that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded receptacle
is not available, an adapter (Fig. 2) can be used to temporarily connect this
plug to a two-contact grounded receptacle. The adapter (Fig. 2) has a rigid
lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a permanent earth ground, such
as a properly grounded receptacle box.
CAUTION
In all cases, make certain the receptacle is properly grounded. If you are not
sure, have a qualified electrician check the receptacle.

OPERATION
STARTING AND STOPPING THE GRINDER (FIG. M)
The “ON / OFF” switch has a removable, black plastic key. With the key removed
from the switch, unauthorized and hazardous use by children and others is
minimized.
- To turn the grinder “ON”, insert key (1) into the slot of the switch (2), and move the switch to the “ON” position.
- To turn the grinder “OFF”, move the switch to the “OFF” position.
- To lock the switch in the “OFF” position, grasp the end, of the switch key, and pull it out.
- With the switch key removed, the switch will not operate.
- If the switch key is removed while the grinder is running, it can be turned “OFF” but cannot be restarted without inserting the switch key.
CAUTION
Always lock the switch “OFF” when the grinder is not in use. Remove the key
and keep it in a safe place. In the event of a power failure, blown fuse, or
tripped circuit breaker, turn the switch “OFF” and remove the key, preventing
an accidental startup when the power comes on.
ADJUSTING THE SPEED OF GRINDER (FIG. N)
Your grinder is equipped with a variable speed control knob. The speed of the
grinder may be adjusted by simply rotating the variable speed control knob
(1).
- To increase speed, rotate the variable speed control knob (1) clockwise.
- To reduce speed, rotate the variable speed control knob (1) counterclockwise.
GENERAL OPERATION
CAUTION
Keep all bystanders a safe distance away from the tool and not in direct
line, front or back of the grinder.
- Your bench grinder has a medium wheel (60 grit) for medium material removal and general purpose grinding, and a coarse wheel (36 grit) for fast material removal.
- To operate the bench grinder, always wear safety glasses and turn the tool on while standing at the side and not in front of the grinder. Allow it to reach full speed before grinding.
- Hold the work piece firmly against the tool rest. Hold very small pieces with pliers or other suitable clamps.
- Feed the work piece smoothly and evenly into the grinding wheel.
- Move the work piece slowly and avoid jamming the work piece against the wheel. If the wheel tends to slow down from excessive force, you should occasionally release the pressure to let the wheel return to full speed.
- Grind only on the face of the grinding wheel and never the side of it. (Some wheels are designed for side grinding and will say so on their blotters/ cardboard disc.)
CAUTION
Prolonged grinding will cause most materials to become hot. Use care when
handling such materials.
SCISSORS
If possible, take the scissors apart to make the sharpening operation easier
and safer. Remove material only from the outside surface and work from the
heavy end of the blade toward the tip.
KNIVES
Remove metal from both faces of most knives, working from the heavy end of the
blade toward the tip.
SCREWDRIVERS
The end of a properly sharpened screwdriver will be a perfect rectangle,
absolutely flat and perpendicular to the center line of the shank. The two
sides and two faces will taper outward from the edge of the shoulder or shank.
They should be flat with intersecting faces perpendicular. Hold each face of
the screwdriver against the wheel to true it up, then ease the end straight
into the stone to grind it true.
TWIST DRILL BITS (FIG. Q)
Drill bits are best sharpened on a sharpening jig, available at most hardware
stores, but can be “dressed up” on your grinder. Begin on one side of the
point at the existing angle, then twist the bit while maintaining a constant
angle with grinding surface. Sharpen only the tip. This technique requires
considerable practice, so take your time and make a few “dry runs” first with
the grinder off. Be sure to maintain the original cutting edge angle as this
is important to the efficiency of your bits. One tool rest has a V-groove that
is correctly angled for most drill bits.
LAWN MOWER BLADES
Lawn mower blades are usually sharpened on only one side and dressed up
slightly on the other. After sharpening, be sure to balance the blade by
removing additional material from the heavy end. There are a number of
inexpensive cone balancers on the market
for this purpose. Unbalanced blades can cause serious crank shaft damage to
your lawn mower. Always remove spark plug wires from the mower before
servicing the blades to prevent accidental starting.
CAUTION
For your own safety, turn switch “OFF” and remove plug from power source
outlet before adjusting and maintaining your bench grinder. If power cord is
worn, cut or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.
GENERAL
-
Regularly check the tool and use a soft brush to remove accumulated dust. Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes while cleaning.
-
If the body of the grinder needs cleaning, wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used. Do not use alcohol, petrol or other similar cleaning agents. Do not make contact with the grinding wheels with any damp cloth.
-
Always make sure the eyeshields are transparent and not blocking the view of the grinding wheel.
-
In normal use, grinding wheels may become cracked, grooved, rounded at the edges, chipped, out of true or loaded with foreign material. Cracked wheels should be replaced IMMEDIATELY. While any of the other conditions can be remedied with a dressing tool (included), new wheels sometimes require dressing to make them round.
MAINTENANCE -
If you must replace a wheel be sure to obtain one with a safe rated speed at least as high as the “NO LOAD” RPM marked on your grinder’s nameplate.
Replacement wheels must have a 5/8 in. (15.88 mm) center hole, 8 in. (200 mm) diameter and should be a maximum of 1 in. (25 mm) wide.
CAUTION
- Never use caustic agents to clean the plastic parts of the tool.
- Water must never come into contact with the grinder.
- The use of any other accessories is not recommended and may result in serious injury.
