block or plank between the grinder and the bench,

Assembly and adjustment of eye shield

bracket and eye shield

Fig. B

The eye shield bracket and eye shield

should only ever be assembled/adjusted

with the grinding wheel stationary, and

the machine disconnected from the

power supply.

• Fix the eye shield bracket (4) with attached

eye shield to the grinding wheel cover, using

the screw provided (A).

• Set the eye shield bracket at the correct

height. The clearance (B) between the wheel

and the eye shield bracket should be 1 to

1.5 mm.

• Next tighten the screw (A) firmly.

• Position the eye shield to give maximum

protection when working.

• Always wear safety glasses.

Fitting and adjusting tool rest

The tool rest should only be adjusted

when the grinding wheel is completely

stationary, and the machine is

disconnected from the power supply (the

wall socket).

• Fit the tool rest as shown in Fig. C.

• Fix it as tightly as possible in position, with a

maximum clearance (C) of 1 to 1.5 mm

between the tool rest and the grinding wheel.

Replacing the grinding wheel

Fig. C

Required tools:

• 19 mm spanner

• 8 mm spanner

• Screwdriver

Only ever replace the grinding wheel

when the motor is at a standstill and the

power is completely disconnected.

• Remove the grinding wheel guards using the

tools listed above. The spindle nut on the

right-hand side has a right-handed thread.

The spindle nut on the left-hand side has a

left-handed thread. Keep this in mind when

you are replacing the grinding wheels.

• Loosen the nut using the correct spanner.

Remove the old wheel from the spindle.

• Clean the flanges. Place one flange (A) back

on the spindle, with the hollow side facing the

grinding wheel. Slide the new wheel onto the

spindle. Place the second flange (A) on the

spindle, again with the hollow side facing the

grinding wheel. Now tighten the nut on the

spindle. Do not overtighten! Now refit the

grinding wheel cover, and again adjust the

tool rest correctly. Run the motor briefly,

without grinding.

4. Operation

Selecting the grinding wheel

Coarse grinding wheels will in general remove

the most material, and fine grinding wheels

are used for finishing. If the surface is uneven,

begin by using a coarse grinding wheel, and

grind the workpiece until it is smooth. Next use

a fine grinding wheel to remove the grooves and

scratching left by the coarse wheel, and finish off

the workpiece.

How to grind

To prevent the grinding surface from blocking

up, avoid holding wood, lead or any other soft

material or metal against the grinding wheel.

To avoid creating grooves, do not press the

workpiece too firmly on the grinding wheel. Use

water to regularly cool the workpiece being

ground. Wood chisels and the like should never

be sharpened ‘blue’.

Take care not to lose your grip on the object being

ground, as it may suddenly become jammed

between the tool rest and the grinding wheel. This

can cause the stone to shatter, the motor to seize,

or the workpiece to fly off, all of which can cause

injury and damage.

Whenever the machine has been in use for 30

minutes, it should be switched off. Allow the

machine to cool down to room temperature.

• Switching the machine on

• Check that the switch is in the “OFF/0”

position before connecting the machine to the

power supply.

• Press the power switch into the “ ON/1”

position to start your bench grinder.

• Always keep the power cord out of the way of

the tool’s moving parts.
