ASSEMBLING TOOL RESTS
1. Assemble adjustable tool rest (A) Fig. 1, to left side
of tool rest arm (B), as shown, and fasten with one 3/4 inch-
long hex head screw and lockwasher (C). Assemble the
remaining tool rest to the right side of the other tool rest
arm in the same manner. Do not completely tighten hard-
ware at this time.
2. Assemble left tool rest assembly (D) Fig. 2, to the
inside of left wheel guard (E), and fasten with two 5/8 inch-
long screws and flat washers (F) as shown.
3. Assemble right tool rest assembly to the inside of
right wheel guard and fasten with two 3/4 inch-long hex
head screws and flat washers.
4. Each tool rest assembly (D) Fig. 2, is adjustable so
it can be positioned slightly below the centerline of the
wheel and as close to the grinding wheel as possible, giv-
ing maximum support to the piece that is being ground. A
distance of 1/8-inch or less between the grinding wheel and
the inside edge of the tool rest should always be main-
tained. When the tool rest is positioned correctly, tighten
hardware (C) and (F). As the grinding wheel wears down to
a smaller diameter, re-adjust the tool rest closer to the
wheel. Freehand grinding without the use of a tool rest
should always be done on the lower quarter of the wheel.

ASSEMBLING SPARK GUARDS
The spark guard (A) Fig. 3, is to be mounted to the side of
each wheel guard, using the 1/4 inch-long screw (B) and
washer (C) as shown. The spark guard (A) should be adjust-
ed as close as possible to the grinding wheel so that sparks
never strike the operator’s hand. As the wheels wear down
the spark guard (A) should be adjusted accordingly.
ASSEMBLING EYE SHIELDS
Your grinder is supplied with two safety eye shields for operator protection. To assemble the eye shields, proceed as
follows:
1. Place shield (A) Fig. 4, under the lip of frame (B). Line up the two holes in the shield with the two holes in the
frame and fasten together using two 1/2 inch-long, round head screws (C), washers (D) and nuts (E). Assemble the
other shield in the same manner.
