How to use

Mount the bench grinder securely to a stable surface following the manufacturer's instructions for fastening (use appropriate bolts and ensure the unit is level). Fit a compatible 150 x 16 x 12.7 mm grinding wheel with the correct grit and hardness for the intended task, and make sure the wheel is properly seated and tightened. Before operation, wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves, and check that wheel guards and tool rests are correctly positioned and adjusted. Start the grinder and allow it to reach full speed before applying workpieces. Use steady, light pressure when sharpening or shaping; avoid excessive force that could overheat the workpiece or damage the wheel. After use, switch off the machine and wait for the wheel to stop completely before making adjustments or removing debris.

Usage recommendations

For best results, choose grinding wheels with grit and hardness matched to the material: coarse grits for rapid stock removal, medium grits for general sharpening, and finer grits for finishing. Regularly inspect wheels for cracks or damage and replace them immediately if defects are found. Keep tool rests close to the wheel (but not touching) to maintain control during sharpening, and consider using a dressing tool to restore wheel profile and remove glazing.
