frame, Grinder operates at 3450 rpm for gdnding and also at 2000-
3300 rpm for sharpening. Removable wheel guards allow for easy
changing of wheels.Two-way tool rests are adjustable for wheel
wear and angle grinding.Grinder comes complete with spark
guards, safety eyeshields and dust collection hose.

INSTALLATION {CONTINUED}
• Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a properly
installed and grounded :_ prong grounding_type receptacle
(See Figure 2).
•Donotremoveoraltergroundingpronginanymanner._nthe
event of a malfunction or breakdown, groun_ng provides a
path of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug
when installing or removing from outlet.
•Plug must be plugged into matching oudet that is propedy
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordin antes. Do not modify plug provided.If it will not fit in out-
let, have proper outlet installed by aqualified electrician.
Inspect tool cords periodically, and, ff damaged, have repaired
by an authorized service facility.
°Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the grounding
wire. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is nec-
essary" do not connect the green Ior green and yellow) wire to
a I_ve terminal.
° Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be
replaced with a propedy grounded B-prong receptacle installed
in accordance with National Electric Code and Ic_:al codes and
ordinances.
WARNING;This work should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
•Atemporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (See
Figure 3) is available for connecting plugs to a two pole outlet
if it is properly grounded.

Do not use a 3-prong to 2 prong grounding adapter unless
permitted by local a_d national codes and ordinances.
(A 3 prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is not permitted in
Canada{ Where permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal on
the side of the adapter must be securely _onnectod to ape_
manent electrical ground such as aproperly grounded water
pipe, apropedy grounded oudet box ar a propedy grounded
wire system.
• Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes are not
properly grounded.To ensure proper ground, grounding means
must be tested by a qualified etectTician.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension card will cause some drop in voltage
and loss of power.
Wires of the extension cord must be of suffident size to carry
the current and maintain adequate voltage,
Running the unit on voltages which are not within _1 G% of the
specified voltage may cause overheating and motor burn-out.
Use the table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.)
extension cord.
Use only 3 wire extension cords having 3-pT'ong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole receptades which accept the tool plug.
If the extension cord is worn. cut or damaged in any way,
replace it immediately.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: All electrical €onnecfions must be pe_ormed by a
qualified elect dc_an. Make sum tool is off and d(sconnected from
power source while motor is mounted, connected, reconnected or
anytime wiring is inspected.
• Motor is assembled with approved, 3-conductor cord to be
used at 12G vdit s. Motor is prewlred at the factory for t ZO volts.
Refer to Figure 4,

down the grinding wheels.
Note the origina) bevel angle o_ the item to be sharpened and
try to maintain that angle. Sharpening a cutting edge requires
removing burrsfrom edge.
•Debuning edge isdone best by using the gdnder to pull burr
fi'om edge acrossthe bevel angle.
• The grinding wheel should rotate into object being shaqoened,
•Use dower wheel speed when sharpening tempered tools.
Overheating will dest]oy the tofnper.
•When grinding at high speed, dip work into a coolant regulady
to prevent ovei'heat_ng,Overheedng can weaken metals.
As wheels wear, tool zests should be positioned closer to the
face of the wheels.
The gap bebveen the wheel and the Cool rest should not be
greater than _/_When the wheels are worn to the extent that
the _/_ maximum gap cannot be maintained, the wheels
should be replaced.
Replacement wheels should have a minimum rated speed of at
least 3600 RPM.
Maximum wheel diameter is 6."
To }oosen nuts holding the wheels, disconnect powe_" and push
a wood wedge between the tool rest and the wheel to keep
the shaft horn turning.The threads on the right side of the
gffnder (facing unit} are right hand; threads on the left side are
left hand._ghten nuts securely before operatfag the gdnder.
For gdnding effidenc, y, wheels should be dressed periodically,
