How to use

Secure the bench grinder to a solid workbench or stand to prevent movement during operation. Fit the appropriate abrasive wheels for the task and ensure they are correctly mounted and balanced. Turn on the machine and allow the wheels to reach full speed before bringing the workpiece to the wheel. Use steady, light pressure and move the workpiece across the wheel to maintain an even finish and avoid overheating. Allow tools to cool periodically to prevent loss of temper. After use, switch off the grinder and wait for the wheels to stop fully before performing any adjustments or cleaning.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection, hearing protection and gloves. Select wheel grit and hardness according to material and desired finish. Keep spark guards and tool rests adjusted close to the wheel to reduce risk and improve control. Perform routine inspections of wheels for cracks or damage and replace them if any defects are found.
