5.1.2 check that eye shields are in good condition, are secure and that you can see through them clearly.
5.1.3 Turn the grinding stones by hand and check for any damage. check they do not touch the tool rests and are correctly aligned.

5.2 sTOne Use
Depending on the model, grinders are supplied with one or two aluminous oxide stones. Stones have two grades, fine for hard
materials and coarse for soft materials.
When grinding, should surface of the stone become “loaded” (coated with particles of the material being ground) it is probably the
wrong grade of stone for the job.
IMPORTANT: Grinding stones MUST ONly be assembled by a person holding a grinding wheel certificate. See section 4.


Grinding stones (wheels) used with this machine must be of an adequate speed rating and suitable for the material to be ground.

Ensure the grinding stone’s maximum speed specification is higher than that indicated on the machine data plate.

Check grinding stone is secure, the stone is not worn or damaged and that there are no splits or cracks. If damaged replace
immediately.

Ensure replacement stone is not damaged in any way such as cracks, deformations or splinters etc. Also check the mounting flanges
to ensure they are not deformed, burred or chipped. Damaged items must NOT be used as they may cause irregular pressure on the
stone which may cause a stone to break. DO NOT over tighten a stone. Never tamper with a stone in order to adapt it to a different size
holder.

Install a new stone as in 4.2. Once mounted on the grinder test the stone before use by facing the grinder in a safe direction (point
away from yourself, others and vulnerable items) and run for a short time. Dress the stone if necessary.
