2. GENERAL SAFETY

   • WARNING! Disconnect the grinder from the mains power, and ensure the grinding wheels are at a standstill before attempting to
     change accessories, service or perform any maintenance.

   • DO NOT use a damaged accessory. Before each use, inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks.

   • DO NOT operate the grinder if any parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.

   • DANGER! DO NOT use a damaged wheel as it is dangerous and may cause damage and/or serious personal injury.

   • WARNING! Only persons qualified under the “Abrasive Wheels Regulations” and holding a current grinding wheel certificate are to change or dress grinding wheels. Unplug the grinder from the mains power and refer to Section “Grinding Wheels” below for details.

   • After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.

   • The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the grinder. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.

   • Never grind on the sides of a grinding wheel. Grinding on the side can cause the wheel to break and fly apart.

   • Only use accessories with a diameter and maximum thickness specified in the Specification section of this manual.

   • Bench grinders must always be stable and secure e.g. fixed to a bench or the like.

   • Grinding wheels must be correctly mounted and free of defects before use (ring tested).

   • Spark arrestors and work rest must be adjusted frequently to compensate for the wear of the wheel.

   • WARNING! Keep all guards and holding screws in place, tight and in good working order. Check regularly for damaged parts.

   • A guard or any other part that is damaged should be repaired or replaced before the tool is next used. The eye shields are a mandatory fitting when a grinder is used in premises covered by the Health & Safety at Work Act.

   • Distance between the spark arrestor/work rest and the wheel must be kept as small as possible and in any case no greater than 2mm.

   • Worn wheels must be replaced when the 2mm gap above can no longer able to be maintained.

   • For tools with two spindles: always use the tool with accessories on both spindles to limit the risk of contact with the rotating spindle.

   • Always use the guard, work rest, transparent screen and spark arrestor as required for the accessory(ies).

   • Damaged or deeply grooved wheels must be replaced.

   • Always adjust the work rest so that the angle between the work rest and the tangent of the accessory is always greater than 85°.

   • Grinding wheels must always be handled and stored correctly.

   • Maintain the grinder in good condition and check moving parts alignment regularly.

   • Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Non-authorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

   • Locate the grinder in a suitable working area, and keep the area clean, tidy and free from unrelated materials. Ensure adequate lighting.

   • Before each use check grinding wheels for condition. If worn or damaged replace immediately.

   • WARNING! Always wear approved eye or face protection when operating the grinder.

   • Use breathing protection by COSHH regulations if fumes or dust pose a hazard. Wear ear defenders if necessary.

GRINDING WHEELS

• MANDATORY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. (The following instructions must be observed together with chapter 1 safety).
• DANGER! Use of a damaged wheel is dangerous and may cause damage or personal injury.
• WARNING! Ensure the grinder is unplugged from the mains power supply before attempting to change grinding wheels (or wheels).
• Only persons qualified under the “Abrasive Wheels Regulations” and holding a current grinding wheel certificate are authorised to change and dress grinding wheels.
• Grinding wheels used with the machine must be of an adequate speed rating and suitable for the material to be ground.
• Ensure the cutting wheel’s maximum speed specification is higher than that indicated on the machine data plate.
• Check grinding wheels are secure, the wheel is not worn or damaged, and there are no fissures or cracks. If damaged replace immediately.
• Ensure the replacement wheel is not damaged in any way such as cracks, deformations splinters etc.
• 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 wheel which may cause the wheel to break.
• DO NOT over-tighten a wheel. Never tamper with a wheel to adapt it to a different size holder.
• Install a new wheel as in 5.2. Once mounted on the grinder test the wheel before use by facing the grinder in a safe direction (point away from yourself, others and vulnerable items) and run for a short time. Dress the wheel if necessary.
• Wheel Changing Procedure.
• WARNING! unplug the grinder from the mains power supply before changing the wheel.
• Raise the eye shield, and away from the wheel.
• Loosen and pull the tool rest out as far as possible, but, DO NOT remove it (fig 6).
• Remove the screws from the side of the wheel cover and remove the cover (fig 6).
• Hold the grinding wheel firmly. To protect your hands use cloth or wear gloves. Unscrew retaining nut (fig.7.1)
• Note: The nut on the right side of the grinder has a standard right-hand thread (undo anti-clockwise). 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.
• Remove grinding wheel washer (fig 7.2), wheel (3), washer (4) from main spindle (5).
• Carefully inspect the new wheel before installing it to ensure there are no fissures, chips, or cracks.
• WARNING! DO NOT USE A DAMAGED WHEEL.
• Install the new wheel by reversing the steps above. Ensure washers (2 & 4) are installed with the flange on the outside.
• Hold the wheel steady and secure the locking nut. DO NOT over-tighten as this may crack the wheel.
• Replace the wheel cover, re-adjust the tool rest to a maximum of 2mm from the wheel face and tighten securely.
• Note: You do not require a certificate to change a wire wheel. Assembly is the same as with a wheel.

OPERATION

PRE-USE INSPECTION

• Note: Use the same clearance and alignment information if your model has a wire brush.
• WARNING! INSPECT THE GRINDER BEFORE OPERATING THE MACHINE. ENSURE THE GRINDER IS UNPLUGGED FROM THE MAIN POWER BEFORE COMMENCING THE INSPECTION.
• Check the tool rests are securely fixed and set at a maximum of 2mm from the grinding wheel.
• Check that eye shields are in good condition, are secure and that you can see through them.
• Turn the grinding wheels by hand and check for any damage. Check they do not touch the tool rests and are correctly aligned.
• If any of the above checks fail, replace, repair, or adjust as necessary before starting the grinder.

WHEEL USE

• Depending on the model, grinders are supplied with one or two aluminous oxide wheels. Wheels have two grades, fine is preferred for hard materials and coarse wheels for soft materials.
• When grinding, should the surface of the wheel become “loaded” (coated with particles of the material being ground) it is probably the wrong grade of wheel for the job.
• Important reminder: Grinding wheels MUST Only be assembled by a person holding a grinding wheel certificate. Section 5.

USING THE GRINDER

• WARNING! Before commencing work, ensure you have read, understood, and apply section 1.
• Safety Instructions Plug the grinder into the mains power supply. Place the eyeshield in its appropriate safety location.
• Switch the grinder on, and bring the workpiece slowly into contact with the spinning wheel, or wire wheel.
• When you have completed your task, unplug the grinder from the mains power supply, and clean the machine ready for next use.

MAINTENANCE

• WARNING! Ensure the grinder is unplugged from the mains power supply before performing any maintenance or service.
• As the grinding wheel wears, adjust the position of the tool rests. The rest must be at a maximum of 2mm from the wheel surface.
• Regularly remove the grinding wheel covers and clean out any dust and dirt.
• The machine motor and bearing are sealed units and require no regular maintenance. Should you require assistance, contact your local Sealey service agent.
