Operating instructions for the Model 960-401 wet belt grinder
The model 960-401 belt grinder is a two-wheel path belt grinder that uses a 2.5 or 4.0 x 60-inch continuous
loop abrasive belt. The grinder is intended for wet abrasive belt operation such as may be required for glass
finishing or lapidary work. For maximum effectiveness, and operator safety uses abrasive belts manufactured
by well-respected abrasive manufacturers.
• Use abrasive belts that are the proper size and type for your machine.
• Do not use abrasive belts that are old and excessively worn.
• Do not use abrasive belts that use lap splice joints. This type of belt is prone to separate. It also
may tend to snag your work and create a safety hazard. It may also perform poorly.
• Do not use metalized belts or other belts with sharp edges. Belts of these configurations could
present serious cutting injury potential to the operator or to bystanders should the belt
inadvertently leave the machine while the machine is in motion.
• Never touch or otherwise contact any portion of the abrasive belt while it is in motion. Doing so
could result in serious personal injury.
Prior to operating the model 960-401 please take time to do the following:
1. Insure that you have received all of the items that you ordered. Compare the packing slip with your
purchase order, and of course with the physical items received.
2. Verify that there is no obvious shipping damage. If shipping damage is discovered notify the freight carrier
of your intention to file a freight damage claim. They will assist you.
3. Verify that the AC power that is identified on the machine as received matches the AC power that you
intend to operate the machine with. Do not modify the machines wiring without first contacting your
distributor or Burr King manufacturing.
4. Do not modify or defeat any AC wiring safety feature. In example, do not remove the grounding pin on the
AC plug, or defeat the ground fault interrupt system if so equipped.
5. Verify that you have received a warranty card, parts lists, catalog, and Operator, and Operating Area
Safety Instructions.
6. Complete the warranty card and return it to Burr King Manufacturing.
7. Verify that the various guards for the machine are in place and functional. See the parts list for the
indicated part numbers.
a. The contact wheel guard (903-4) is a mounted and adjusted such that pinch guard plate (914) if
used, is about 1/8 inch behind the abrasive belt and the contact wheel guard covers side of the contact wheel
(802-4) away from the operator. Where the pinch guard (914) is not mounted back-up platen assembly (904-
4) must be mounted to protect the pinch point that exists at the junction of the moving belt and the contact
wheel (804-4, i.e.). Burr King Manufacturing Company supplies one or both of these assemblies with each
machine shipped. FOR YOUR SAFETY DO NOT OPERATE THE 960-401 WITH THE PINCH
GUARD, BACK UP PLATEM ASSEMBLY OR ANY OTHER GUARD REMOVED OR NOT
PROPERLY ADJUSTED.
b. The full safety guard is in place, closed and its door latch is functional such that it will securely
hold the safety door closed (P/N 942A-1. 942-4B)
8. Prior to operating the model 960-401 read the Operator and Operating Area Safety Instructions
carefully. Insure that all persons who will operate the model 960-401, or who will work in the vicinity of the
model 960-401 read, understand, and comply with these instructions.
