UP
• Working Clearances: Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be processed
through the machine, and space for other machinery
when establishing a location for your new machine.
• Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough to
eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.
• Electrical: Electrical circuits must be dedicated or
large enough to handle amperage requirements.
Outlets must be located near each machine, so
power or extension cords are clear of high-traffic
areas. Follow local electrical codes for proper
installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
MAKE your shop “child safe.” Ensure
that your workplace is inaccessible to
youngsters by closing and locking all
entrances when you are away. NEVER
allow untrained visitors in your shop
when assembling, adjusting or operat-
ing equipment.
Shop Preparation
The bench grinder must be mounted to a workbench to
avoid accidental tipping. If you intend on using the grind-
er for portable applications, mount it to a heavy plywood
base (at least 1" thick) that is wide enough to prevent
tipping or rocking during use, then clamp the plywood
base to the workbench or table.
To mount the bench grinder, do these steps:
1. Determine the surface or object to which you will
mount your grinder, and obtain the needed hard-
ware for your mounting application.
2. Fasten the grinder to your supporting surface, using
the dimensions in Figure 5. DO NOT overtighten the
mounting bolts or you will crack the base.
3. Check the stability of the mounted grinder to make
sure it is stable enough to be used safely.
4. Always make sure the grinder is bolted or clamped
to the workbench, table, or grinder stand before
use.
