7 ASSEMBLY
ATTENTION! Disconnect the power plug before carrying out any
adjustments or maintenance.
Secure the bench grinder to the workbench by inserting suitable bolts through the mounting
holes (7). Check that the bench grinder is securely attached and level. If required, a piece of
soft wood can be inserted between the bench grinder and workbench during assembly to
damp vibrations.
Adjust the rest (6), so that it is a maximum of 2 mm from the dry grinding stone (5).
Attach the spark screen (4) to the protective shield by mounting the base of the screen (d) so
that it is a maximum of 2 mm from the dry grinding stone, and securing it with the screw ©, nut
washers and the nut (a). Tilt the spark screen forward on its hinge (b) and check that it is
correctly positioned. Insert the plug into the mains socket.
8 GRINDING
 For dry grinding: adjust the rest as described above.
 For wet grinding: fill the water tank (1) with water until the water comes halfway up to the
centre of the wet grinding stone.
 Switch the bench grinder on using the on/off button (8) and allow the grinder to reach full
speed before beginning to work on the item.
 Present the item to the stone slowly and evenly and then gently increase the pressure
against the stone.
Never present the item abruptly to the stone, as this may cause the item to
kick back and damage the grinding stone or cause injury to the user or
other people.
 Hold the item firmly with both hands to prevent it getting stuck between the grinding stone
and rest, which can damage the stone.
 Do not use the bench grinder for more than 30 minutes at a time. Allow the machine to
cool down before using it again.
 Check the water level in the tank regularly and refill with clean water.
 Switch off the bench grinder after use.
