OPERATIONS
OPERATIONS
General
Your Model M1051 Bench Grinder will allow you to per-
form many types of grinding and buffing operations.
However, the following section is not a complete guide
every possible task variation.
We strongly recommend that you read books, trade mag-
azines, or seek formal training before attempting any
grinding or buffing operations in which you are not con-
fident with. Above all, your safety should come first.
This recommended research will pay off with increased
safety, improved work results, and the knowledge to be
a better metalworker.
Operation of this equipment has the
potential to propel debris into the air
which can cause eye injury. Always
wear safety glasses or goggles when
operating a grinder. Everyday glasses or
reading glasses are not safety glasses.
Be certain the safety glasses you wear
meet the appropriate standards of the
American National Standards Institute
(ANSI).
Grinding Operations
Once assembly has been completed, your bench grinder
is ready for use in the shop.
When mounting a new wheel, or when there is any
concern about wheel integrity, stand away from the line
of rotation of the wheel and then turn the grinder ON.
Allow the grinder operate for one minute. If there is a
problem it will generally occur when the grinder is first
started. If the grinding wheel is OK, rest the workpiece
on the tool rest and ease the workpiece into the grinding
wheel. Begin grinding without holding the workpiece in
one spot.
DO NOT make adjustments while the
grinder is running. Ensure that the
switch is OFF, power is disconnected
and moving parts have stopped before
making adjustments. Failure to comply
could result in serious injury or electrical
shock hazard.
NEVER grind non ferrous metals like aluminum, brass,
copper, bronze, and others, or the grinding wheel
will load up, overheat, and can explode during opera-
tion.
