WORK ENVIRONMENT

1. Keep the work area clean, tidy and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
   Distractions can cause you to lose control.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in personal injury.
2. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
3. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
4. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
5. Gloves, manufactured to the current European safety standards should be worn when operating grinding equipment.
6. Eye protection manufactured to the current European safety standards should be worn when operating grinding equipment. Eye protectors must provide protection from flying particles from the front and the side.

GENERAL USE AND CARE OF POWER TOOLS

1. ALWAYS check for any damage or condition that could affect the grinder’s operation. Any damaged part should be properly repaired.
2. NEVER use the grinder if it is defective or operating abnormally.
3. NEVER abuse the mains cable. Never yank the cable to disconnect it from the socket. Keep the cable away from sharp edges/hot surfaces.
4. NEVER carry out any alterations or modifications to this product.
5. NEVER wipe the machine clean with solvents. Wipe plastic parts with a soft cloth, slightly dampened with soapy water.
6. Do not use the tool for any purpose than that described in this manual.
7. Always maintain the tool with care. Keep it clean for the best and safest performance.
8. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate which it was designed.
9. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
10. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
11. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
12. Use the power tool and accessories in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Correct plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
2. Do not abuse the cable. Never use it for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cables increase the risk of electric shock.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. If operating the power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.
4. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

GRINDING STONE SAFETY

1. Check the speed of the grindstone before fitting to your grinder. Never use a stone with a rpm speed less than the rpm speed of your grinder.
2. The outside diameter and thickness of your accessories must be within the capacity rating of the power tool. The correct size accessories can be correctly guarded and controlled.
3. Never use a stone that is chipped, cracked or damaged. Fragments from a broken or damaged grinding stone can cause serious injury. Make sure that defective stones are destroyed and not used.
4. Bonded abrasive products are breakable and shall therefore be handled with utmost care. The use of damaged or improperly mounted or used abrasive products is dangerous and can cause serious injuries.
5. Always refer to the label for specified usage and observe the safety information. Do not use for purposes other than specified.
6. Always use the correct stone for it’s intended task. Using the incorrect stone can cause serious injury.
7. Allow the stone and tool to do the work. Never force the workpiece against the stone as this could cause kickback and/or shatter the stone causing serious injury.
8. Never use a damaged grinding stone. Inspect the stone before each use for chips, cracks or excess wear. If the tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install a new accessory. After fitting the accessory, position yourself away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the tool at full speed. damaged stones may break apart during this test.
9. Abrasive products shall be handled and transported with care. Abrasive products shall be stored in such a manner that they are not subjected to mechanical damage and harmful environmental influences.

GENERAL OPERATION
Keep all bystanders a safe distance away from the tool and not in direct line, front or back of the grinder.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Hold the workpiece firmly against the tool rest. Hold very small pieces with pliers or other suitable clamps.
4. Feed the workpiece smoothly and evenly on the grinding wheel.
5. Move the workpiece slowly and avoid jamming the workpiece 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.
6. The grinding wheels supplied with this unit are designed for different types of steel, wrought iron, and bronze.
7. Never sharpen or grind anything made of aluminum, brass, copper, wood, plastic or any other non-metallic materials. Grind only on the face of the grinding wheel and never the side of it. Prolonged grinding will cause most materials to become hot. Use care when handling such materials.

SCLSSORS
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. L)
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.

DRESSING A GRINDING WHEEL (FIG. M)
Bring the dressing tool forward on the tool rest until it touches the high point on the face of the wheel. Dress the wheel by moving the dressing tool back and forth. Repeat this operation until the face of the grinding wheel is clean and the comer of the wheel is square. NOTE: A wheel dressing tool is NOT provided with the grinder.
NOTE: DO NOT use the wheel dressing tool on wire wheels.

INSTALLING WIRE WHEEL (Not included)
When replacing the grinding wheel with a wire wheel, it is necessary to place a space (not included) on the spindle shaft BEFORE installing the inner flange, wheel, outer flange and wheel nut.
For your own safety, tum 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.

MAINTENANCE

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Make sure that all components are tight and secure. Always have any damaged or worn parts repaired or replaced by qualified service personnel.
Do not attempt to repair the bench grinder unless you are qualified to do so.
The grinding stone will wear down with use and may well go out of true. Use a dressing wheel or stone grader to correct the trueness and to remove worn, glazed grains from the stone.
The stone will have a finite life expectancy, dependant upon the nature of the work being done. Periodically, make a note of the wheel diameter and replace your (150mm) dia wheel if it reduces to an little as (130mm) in diameter.
