  Only persons qualified under the “Abrasive Wheels Regulations” and holding a current grinding wheel certificate are authorised to change and dress grinding stones (wheels).

• Grinding stones (wheels) used with this machine must be of an adequate speed rating and suitable for the material to be ground.

• Ensure the grinding stone’s maximum speed specification is higher than that indicated on the machine data plate.

• Check grinding stone is secure, the stone is not worn or damaged and that there are no splits or cracks. If damaged replace immediately.

• Ensure replacement stone is not damaged in any way such as cracks, deformations or splinters. Also check the mounting flanges to ensure they are not deformed, burred or chipped. Damaged items must NOT be used as they may cause irregular pressure on the stone which may cause a stone to break.

• DO NOT over tighten a stone. Never tamper with a stone in order to adapt it to a different size holder.

• Install a new stone as in 5.2. Once mounted on the grinder test the stone before use by facing the grinder in a safe direction (point away from yourself, others and vulnerable items) and operate for a short time. Dress the stone if necessary.

STONE CHANGING PROCEDURE

• 5.2.2. Remove tool rest.

• 5.2.3. Remove the screws from the side of the wheel cover and remove the cover.

• 5.2.4. Hold grinding stone firmly. To protect your hands use cloth or wear gloves. Unscrew retaining nut (fig 2.1.).
  Note : The left side nut has a left hand thread and must be loosened by turning clockwise. It may be necessary to strike the wrench sharply in the loosening direction with the heel of your hand to loosen the nut.

• 5.2.5. Remove grinding stone washer (fig 2.2), blotter (3), stone (4), 2nd blotter (5), washer (6) from main spindle (7).
