WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating power tools. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible serious injury. WARNING: Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury. APPLICATIONS This product has been designed only for the purposes listed below: Sharpening drill bits Sharpening lawn mower blades Sharpening chisels and flat screwdrivers Basic operation To be efficient and work as designed, your tools should be kept sharp. Dull tools can and will cause accidents. Bench Grinders are ideal for sharpening tools such as chisels, planer blades, scissors, etc., and for removing rust or corrosion. WARNING: Never sharpen or grind anything made of aluminum, brass, or copper. Note: Excessive pressure may damage the tool, cause the motor to overheat, and prematurely wear down the grinding wheel. WARNING: Excessive pressure on a cold wheel may cause the wheel to crack. USING COOLANT TRAY See Figure 8. The built-in coolant tray allows you to cool overheated workpieces. Simply pull out the tray and fill half way with appropriate coolant. ON/OFF SWITCH See Figure 8. The Bench Grinder features a front access On/Off switch for convenience and safety. OFF ON SWITCH coolant tray Fig. 8 Grinders remove material rapidly so pressure is the key to efficient grinding. The proper way to sharpen a tool and avoid overheating is: Keep the object in constant motion, moving it at an even pace. Never force a tool against the grinding wheel. Keep the tool cool by using either the coolant tray or a pan of water. The grinding wheel should rotate "into" the object being sharpened. 13
