General Instructions for 230V Machines
4
The following will enable you to observe good working
practices, keep yourself and fellow workers safe and
maintain your tools and equipment in good working order.
Mains Powered Tools
•Tools are supplied with an attached 13 Amp plug.
•Inspect the cable and plug to ensure that neither are
damaged. Repair if necessary by a suitably
qualified person.
•Do not use when or where it is liable to get wet.
Workplace
•Do not use 230V a.c. powered tools anywhere
within a site area that is flooded.
•Keep machine clean.
•Leave machine unplugged until work is about to
commence.
•Always disconnect by pulling on the plug body
and not the cable.
•Carry out a final check e.g. check the cutting tool
is securely tightened in the machine and the
correct speed and function set.
•Ensure you are comfortable before you start work,
balanced,not reaching etc.
•Wear appropriate safety clothing, goggles, gloves,
masks etc.Wear ear defenders at all times.
•If you have long hair wear a hair net or helmet to prevent
it being caught up in the rotating parts of the machine.
•Consideration should be given to the removal of rings and
wristwatches.
•Consideration should also be given to non-slip
footwear etc.
•If another person is to use the machine, ensure they are
suitably qualified to use it.
•Do not use the machine if you are tired or distracted.
•Do not use this machine within the designated safety
areas of flammable liquid stores or in areas where there
may be volatile gases.
•Check cutters are correct type and size,are
undamaged and are kept clean and sharp, this will
maintain their operating performance and lessen the
loading on the machine.
•OBSERVE…. make sure you know what is
happening around you and USE YOUR COMMON SENSE.
WARNING!! KEEP TOOLS AND
EQUIPMENT OUT OF REACH OF
YOUNG CHILDREN
KEEP WORK AREA AS
UNCLUTTERED AS IS PRACTICAL.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
SHOULD CHILDREN BE ALLOWED
IN WORK AREAS.
Specific Safety Precautions for Grinding Machines
1. Do not operate your machine until it is completely
assembled and installed according to the instructions.
2. If you are not familiar with the operation of grinding
machines obtain advice from your supervisor or instructor
or another qualified person.
3. Only use grinding wheels or attachments rated higher
than 3600 rpm with a 1/2”(12.7mm) arbor on this machine.
4. Never use a chipped or cracked wheel. Always inspect
each wheel before mounting it on the grinder.If during
inspection you discover a damaged grinding wheel, replace
it immediately.
5. Do not over tighten wheel nuts.
6. Always maintain a distance of 2mm or less between the
wheel and the tool rest. Adjust the tool rests as the wheels
decrease in size.
7. Ensure the tool rests are tightened so they cannot move
while in use.
8. Never grind on a cold wheel.The grinder should always
be run for at least one minute before applying work to it.
9. Never grind on the side of the wheel. Always grind on
the face of the wheel only.
10. Never apply coolant directly to a dry running grinding
wheel, it may cause the bonding to fail. If the work piece
becomes hot, dip it into a water pot to cool it down.

Specific Safety Precautions for Grinding Machines
5
11. Hot sparks are a hazard! Never carry out grinding
operations near flammable gas or liquid.
12. Always make sure the spark guards and eye shields
are in place,that they are properly adjusted and secured.
13. Keep the spark guards close to the wheels and
re-adjust them as the wheels wear.
14. Ensure the soft washer and the flanges furnished with
the grinder are used to mount any attachments (grinding
wheels, wire brushes, buffing wheels, etc) onto the shaft.
15. Always stand to one side of the grinder when starting
the machine.
16. Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip
could cause the hands to come into contact with a grinding
wheel, wire brush etc.
17. If the wheel requires dressing, dress only the front of
the wheel, do not dress the sides.
18. Do not use any attachments that causes the machine
to vibrate. If, after changing grinding wheels or adding
attachments, the machine does vibrate, remove the
recently replaced item and change again.
19. Grinding creates heat. Do not touch the work face
of the work piece until you are sure it has cooled down
sufficiently.

• Fill the water trough with clean water to a level about
15-20mm below the lip of trough.

NOTE: The Wetstone will shed the grinding waste and
dust into the water; the heavy waste will sink to the
bottom of the trough, the dust and ‘light material’ will
form a film on the surface of the water and can be dragged
up and lay on the stone.A sufficiently heavy layer can
be ‘glazed’onto the stone by the grinding action, which
reduces its cutting efficiency.The ‘heavy’ waste which sinks
to the bottom of the trough, can also start to rust, due to
the oxygenated nature of the water, (air trapped in the
surface water on the stone,being passed through the
trough as it rotates).Clean the trough and refill with clean
water frequently.See page 12 for removing the trough.

hand if you need it. Fill the trough with 15-20mm water, see
page 07. Start the machine, wait until it reaches full speed.
Check it runs smoothly, no knocking or scraping noises for
example. If all ok, apply a work piece.When work has been
completed switch off the grinder and wait until it comes to
a complete stop. Disconnect the machine from the mains
supply. Clean the water trough.
NOTE: DO NOT leave the stone submerged in water if
the grinder is not in use.This will prevent the stone
from swelling and cracking.
NOTE: Store and use at room temperature.

loosen the nut, remember undo the nut in the direction of
the stone’s rotation as indicated by the embossed arrow on
the guard cover.
Loosen the three screws
Rotate the guard cover
Carry out final checks e.g. check the gap between the tool
rest and the stone is correct, check the stones are not badly
deformed (rounded edges,grooved face, etc; unless you
have specifically shaped the stone to these profiles), check
the eye shield is correctly positioned.Have a cooling pot to

Reconnect the grinder to the mains supply, give the grinder
a ‘short burst’, by switching it on and off quickly. Check the
grinder is not subject to any undue vibration. If the grinder
does vibrate, switch off immediately and disconnect from
the main supply. Remove the guard cover and check stone
and plate flange are fitted correctly. Check again, if the
grinder is still vibrating the stone/s may need dressing.
Dress the new stone lightly to ensure a‘good face’and
good concentricity.
Switch on the grinder, wait until it reaches full speed and
leave the machine running for at least one minute before
carrying out any work. Apply a work piece and check that
the spark guard is correctly positioned and that the tool
rest is securely fixed. Switch off and wait until the grinder
comes to a complete stop.

Dressing the Stone
14
If the grinder starts to vibrate or uneven wear appears on
the stones including,crests dips or rounded edges you
may need to dress the stones. The stones will need to be
dressed out using a suitable wheel dressing stick. See our
website and in our catalogue for details.
CONNECT THE GRINDER
TO THE MAINS SUPPLY.
Wheel Dressing Stick for coarse carborundum
and dressing worn or unbalanced wheels.
Code 410074
Switch the grinder on and allow it to run for at least one
minute. Rest the dressing tool on the tool rest and advance
it to the stone until it touches the maximum diameter;
gently move the dresser back and forth across the face of
the stone until all irregularities have been removed and
the edges of the stone are nice and sharp, see step 14.
Diamond Dressing Block useful for dressing across the
width of the grinding wheels or to produce flatter surfaces
than single point dressers.
