SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• ALWAYS read and understand the user manual before operating the grinder.
• MAKE SURE you are wearing safety glasses while operating the grinder or sander. The small particles becoming airborne during operation can seriously damage your eyes.
• ALWAYS wear a dust mask or a respirator while grinding or sanding. The dust produced during operation can lead to serious respiratory problems if inhaled.
• MAKE SURE before making any adjustments, servicing or installing parts, the switch is in the “OFF” position, and the cord is un-plugged from the power source.
• MAKE SURE the RPM of the wheel you are installing on the grinder is equal or higher than the speed of the grinder. Operating wheels at a higher speed than rated for may cause the wheel to lay apart, fly or break and may cause accident.
• MAKE SURE to keep your hands at a safe distance from the wheel.
• NEVER LEAVE the machine unattended while it is running.
• MAKE SURE to do a “ring test” on the grinding wheels before installation. Wheels that do not pass the test are not safe to use. See “page-11 for details.
• ALWAYS stand to the side of the grinder when turning it ON and let the wheel reach full speed. Stand at least one minute to the side of the grinder after startup. A damaged wheel can break apart and fly shortly after starting the grinder.
• DO NOT grind on the side of the wheel, unless the wheel is rated for side grinding.
• DO NOT over-tighten the grinding wheel. Excessive tightening can cause the wheel to crack during operation.

PHYSICAL FEATURES

PROPER GROUNDING

Grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Make sure the cord is plugged into a properly installed and grounded power outlet. To prevent electrical hazards, have a qualified electrician ensure that the line is properly wired.
Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. If an adaptor plug is used, it must be attached to the metal screw of the receptacle.

It is strongly recommended not to use extension cords with your machine. Always try to position your machine close to the power source so that you do not need to use extension cords.
In case if you really find it necessary to use an extension cord, make sure the extension cord does not exceed 50-feet in length and the cord is 14-gauge to prevent motor damage.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.

UNPACKING

The machine is properly packaged and shipped complete in a carton for safe transportation. When unpacking, carefully inspect the carton to ensure that nothing has been damaged during transit. Open the carton and check that the grinder and the parts are in good condition.
While doing inventory, if you can not find any part, check if the part is already installed on the machine. Some of the parts come preassembled.

MOUNTING

The Bench Grinder with Belt Sander weighs 38 lbs. When mounting it on a workbench, make sure the workbench is capable of holding the weight of the machine and the surface of the workbench is level.
The machine is provided with 2 pre-drilled holes on its base to allow it to be mounted on a workbench.
To mount the machine on a workbench:
Place the machine on the workbench and mark using a pencil on the bench surface through the 2 holes on the base.
Remove the machine and drill the 2 holes on the marked points using a proper size drill bit.
Position the machine on the table with the holes on the base aligned with the holes on the workbench.
Use bolts (not provided) that exceed the thickness of the base plus the thickness of the bench top and secure the machine to the workbench.

EYE SAFETY SHIELD

The machine is provided with an eye safety shield which is positioned at 1/8” from the grinding wheel to protect the operator’s face from the sparks produced on the grinding wheel during grinding.
To install the eye safety shield:
Make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the cord is disconnected from the power source.
Attach the eye safety shield to the spark deflector using screw and washer provided. Attach the lock nut knob to the eye safety shield. See figure-3.

TOOL REST / WORK STOP

The tool rest provides a surface that supports the tool during operation. The machine is provided with a tool rest for grinding and a work stop for belt sanding. To install the tool rests:
Make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the cord is disconnected from the power source.
Attach the tool rest/work stop to the grinder so that the tool rests are perpendicular to the belt and to the grinding wheel. Do not tighten the screws at this time. See figure-4 (1) and figure-4(2).

Adjust the tool rests 1/8” to 1/16” away from the belt and the wheel and tighten the screws.

BELT TRACKING

Belt tracking means to adjust the belt so that it rides on, the center of the rollers and does not come in contact with the side covers.
To check if the sanding belt is riding on the center of the wheels, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the cord is disconnected from the power source.
Turn the grinder wheel with your hand (which moves the sanding belt at the same time) and check where the sanding belt rides on the top roller.
The belt should always be riding on, the center of the rollers. While turning the grinding wheel, turn the belt tracking adjustment knob clockwise or anticlockwise shown in figure-5 to center the sanding belt on the wheels.

DUST PORT

Machine features a 1-1/8” dust port located under the rollers. When connecting to a dust collector, use a proper sized hose and make sure all the connections are tightly sealed.

SANDING ARM ANGLE

The sanding arm can be tilted through 90° from horizontal to a vertical position.
To move the sanding arm to the desired position:
Turn the switch OFF and loosen the two screws shown in figure-7 and move the sanding arm to the desired position and retighten the screws.

TEST RUN

Once you have assembled the machine and verified that grinding wheel is secured and belt is tensioned and tracking properly, it is then time to do a test run and see that the machine powers up and runs properly.
All the tools and objects used for assembling the machine should be removed and cleared away during test run.
During the test run make sure the start/stop button and all the safety features on the machine are working properly.
Connect the machine to the correct power source. Stand to the side of the grinding wheel and start the machine. During the test run if there is any unusual noise or vibration, disconnect the machine from the power source immediately. Check all the parts you have assembled, once again and try to find out the problem.
WARNING
Do not make any adjustments while the machine is running. Turn the machine OFF and un-plug from the power source before making any adjustments. Failure to do so may cause serious personal injury.

GRINDING WHEEL INSPECTION

The machine comes with an 8” diameter, A60 grit aluminum oxide grinding wheel.
The grinding wheel should be inspected properly before installation.
Clean the dust and/or dirt from the surface of the wheel and inspect it for any cracks, dents, chips, or any kind of external damage.
To inspect the wheel for any internal damages:
Hold the wheel up with a finger through the hole located in the middle of the wheel and tap it using a wooden mallet or a light non metallic object as shown in figure-8.

WARNING
Tapping the wheel with heavy or metallic objects can damage the grinding wheel.

GRINDING WHEEL REPLACEMENT

To replace the grinding wheel:
Make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the cord is disconnected from the power source.
Loosen the three screws securing the wheel guard and remove the wheel guard to expose the wheel.
