OPERATIONS

IMPORTANT: KEEP SPARK GUARDS AND EYE SHIELDS IN PLACE AT ALL TIMES.

Figures 18, 19, and 20 illustrate several typical opera-
tions that can be accomplished using the grinder. Each
tool rest should be positioned a little below the center of
the grinding wheel and adjusted so the edge of the tool
rest is as close as possible to the grinding wheel for maxi-
mum support to the piece that is being ground.This is
the most practical and safest position for general work.

As the grinding wheel wears down to a smaller diameter,
readjust the tool rest closer to the grinding wheel. A dis-
tance of 1/8" or less between the grinding wheel and the
edge of the tool rest should always be maintained. Free-
hand grinding without the use of the tool rest should
always be done on the lower quarter of the grinding
wheel. Read the “SAFETY RULES” in the front of this
manual and follow them while operating this tool.
