• Always wear safety glasses complying with
OSHA/ANSI requirements Z87.1.
• Wear a mask or respirator when dust is
generated.
• Keep bystanders out of the work area while
operating the tool.
• Always ensure that the work area is clear of
any flammable materials, liquids or gasses,
because the use of this tool may create sparks.
•Wheel guards and eye shields must be properly
adjusted and tightened.
• During each start-up, stand to one side of
the grinder and switch it on. Let the grinder
operate at full speed for approximately one
minute so that any undetected flaws or cracks
will become apparent.

Before You Start – Electrical
• Always wear eye protection that complies
with a recognized standard (CSA or ANSI;
for example: ANSI Z87.1)
• Wear a mask or respirator when dust is
generated.
• Keep bystanders out of the work area
while operating the tool.
• Always ensure that the work
area is clear of any flammable materials,
liquids or gases,because the use of this tool
may create sparks.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep hair tied back.
• Replace cracked grinding
wheels immediately..
• Do not overtighten spindle nuts.
• Adjust tool rests whenever necessary to
maintain a distance of 1/8” (3.2 mm) from
the grinding wheel.
• NEVER grind on the side of the wheel.
Grind on the face of the wheel only.
• NEVER apply pressure to the workpiece
when the grinding wheel is cold. Allow the
wheel to warm up by applying the workpiece
gradually.
• NEVER use the grinder without the wheel
guards. Keep thumbs andfingers away
from the wheel.
Before You Start - Safety
In the event of a malfunction or short circuit,
grounding provides the path of least resistance
for electrical current, and reduces the risk of
electric shock for the operator. This tool is
equipped with an electric cord that has an
equipment grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and or
dinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED.
If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by an electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in increased
risk of electric shock. The conductor with the
green insulation (with or without yellow stripes)
is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair
or replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if you do not completely understand
the grounding instructions, or if you are not
sure if the tool is properly grounded.

OPERATION
Bench grinders vibrate. Grinder movement
during high-speed rotation may cause
injury or damage to the workpiece or operator.
Mount the grinder securely to a sturdy
workbench or grinding stand.
The eye shield should move freely when
being adjusted, but stay in place when
the screw is tightened.
8INCH Bench Grinder is ideal for use in sharpening
chisels, axes and other woodcutting tools. It is also
useful for repairing tips on screwdrivers and drill
bits or for removing excess metal burrs from pieces
of cut metal.
With the proper accessories, this tool can be used
for cleaning metal surfaces using a wire brush or
for buffing and polishing using a cloth wheel.
The rocker I/O power switch is located on the front
of the grinder.
START-UP
Press the side marked “I” to turn the grinder on.
SHUT-DOWN
Press the side marked “O” to turn the grinder off.

MAINTENANCE
• Always keep the workpiece moving across the
face of the grinding wheel. Grinding continuously
on the same spot on the wheel will cause grooves
to be worn into the wheel. The wheel may crack
or become damaged more easily, and grinding of
other objects will be difficult.
• If the workpiece becomes hot, dip it into water or
oil to cool it.
• Always grind on the face of the wheel (around the
diameter), NEVER on the sides. Side pressure on
grinding wheels can cause cracking and damage.
• If the face of the grinding wheel is worn unevenly,
becomes grooved, or is no longer smooth and
flat, the wheel should be reshaped with a dressing
tool (not supplied).
• If the diameter of the grinding wheel is no longer
round, the wheel should be reshaped with a dre-
ssing tool or replaced.
• If the surface of the wheel becomes loaded and
dull with workpiece material, the wheel should be
cleaned with a dressing tool.
• After reshaping, always readjust the tool rests and
spark arrestors.
Installing or Changing the Wheel
When grinding, metal objects become heated
quickly. It is important to keep moving the object
back and forth across the face of the grinding
wheel and to cool the object frequently using the
coolant tray.
Work-light Bulb Replacement
When the light bulb is worn out and will no longer
work, purchase a replacement bulb. To replace,
gently push the light bulb into the socket and
turn clockwise. Uses Max 40 W anti-vibration
light bulb.
Installing or Changing the Wheel
1. Use a screwdriver to loosen the wheel cover
screws and push counter-clockwise to remove
the wheel cover.
2. Fit an appropriately sized wrench on the
spindle hex nut.
3. Loosen the wheel nut in a clockwise dire-
ction for the left side and a counter-clock
wise direction for the right side.
4. Remove the outer flange and grinding wheel.
To remove the hex nut, turn the wrench
and nut until the wrench is resting on the
workbench behind the tool.
5. Inspect the new wheel carefully to ensure
there are no cracks, chips or other damage.
6. Wipe the flange surfaces clean, and install
the new wheel, flange and the spindle hex
nut.
7. To install a new grinding wheel, reverse the
above procedure.
8. Be sure the grinding wheel and outer flange
are properly seated on the spindle shaft.
9. Replace the wheel cover and reposition the
tool rest.
