4. Cleaning and Maintenance:
1. After every use clean the machine thoroughly. If using compressed air take extra care.
Keep contact wheel and vent grooves clean, upper grinding surface clean especially the
graphite strip under the belt. Sweep floor around machine to prevent build up of grinding
dust.
2. Routine Maintenance consist of frequent cleaning, replacement of contact wheel when
needed, keeping all fasteners tight, emptying the spark catch box often. Replace any
worn parts without delay. Keep Plexiglas eye guard clean, and replace when necessary.
3. After time the graphite wear strip may need to be
changed. (Figure 15) This is done by
removing the old strip with a putty knife and cleaning
the surface. Using contact cement the new strip can
be glued into place. NOTE: Never use the machine
if the graphite wear strip is damaged or missing!
4. TIP: Exhaust from the grinder will throw sparks a
good distance and should be controlled. One way of
keeping the area safe and clean is to install a metal
elbow (such as used on dryer vents) to the exhaust
flange on the back of the grinder head. This elbow is
then directed downward into a bucket of water. This
keeps sparks from flying outward, cools the material
slag and keeps dust to a minimum.
