DW756,758/385498 8/20/01 7:43 AM Page 3 English FIG. 2 TOOL REST LOCK WASHER BOLT FIG. 3 LOCK WASHER BOLT EYE SHIELD BRACKET FIG. 4 SPARK GUARD LOCK NUTS SCREWS STEEL STRIP EYE SHIELD Installing Eye Shields TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY. Remove the steel strip from the top surface of each eye shield by removing the two screws. Install the shields, (they are identical and will fit either side) to the brackets, as shown in Fig. 4. Tighten screws securely. Adjust eye shields so they are between the wheels and your eyes. EYE SHIELDS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO REPLACE SAFETY GLASSES. Tighten the shields in place by tightening the plastic knob in the bracket assembly. Remove protective paper cover. Operation NEVER USE A BENCH GRINDER IF IT IS NOT FIRMLY FASTENED TO A WORK BENCH OR RIGID FRAME. Before turning the grinder on, put on safety glasses. Turn on the grinder and allow it to reach full speed (3450 RPM - DW756, 3600 RPM - DW758). Hold the workpiece firmly and against the tool rest. Hold very small pieces with pliers or other suitable clamps. Feed the work smoothly and evenly into the grinding wheel. Move the work slowly and avoid jamming the work against the wheel. As the wheel tends to slow down 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 on the side. (Some wheels are designed for side grinding and will say so on their instruction sheets). CAUTION: Prolonged grinding will cause most materials to become hot. Handle them with pliers or thick gloves. Switch The switch is located on the front of the grinder, on the base. (Figure 1) To turn the tool on depress the side of the rocker switch on the left side, marked "ON". To turn off the grinder, depress the right side of the rocker switch, marked "OFF". 3
