APPLICATIONS
This product has been designed only for the purposes listed
below:

Sharpening drill bits
 Sharpening lawn mower blades
 Sharpening chisels and flat screwdrivers
BASIC OPERATION
To be efficient and work as designed, your tools should be
kept sharp. Dull tools can and will cause accidents.
Bench grinders are ideal for sharpening tools such as chis-
els, planer blades, scissors, etc., and for removing rust or
corrosion. Grinders remove material rapidly so pressure is
the key to efficient grinding.
The proper way to sharpen a tool and avoid overheating is:

Keep the object in constant motion, moving it at an even
pace.
 Never force a tool against the grinding wheel.
 Keep the tool cool by using a pan of water.
 The grinding wheel should rotate “into” the object being
sharpened.
NOTE: Excessive pressure may damage the tool, cause the
motor to overheat, and prematurely wear down the grinding
wheel.
ON/OFF SWITCH
See Figure 8, page 13.
The bench grinder features a front access On/Off switch for
convenience and safety.
