Installing Eye Shields
TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY.
Remove the steel strip from the top surface of each eye shield by
removing the two screws. Install the shields, (they are identical and
will fit either side) to the brackets, as shown in Fig. 4. Tighten screws
securely. Adjust eye shields so they are between the wheels and your
eyes.
EYE SHIELDS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO REPLACE SAFETY
GLASSES.
Tighten the shields in place by tightening the plastic knob in the
bracket assembly. Remove protective paper cover.
Operation
NEVER USE A BENCH GRINDER IF IT IS NOT FIRMLY
FASTENED TO A WORK BENCH OR RIGID FRAME. Before turning
the grinder on, put on safety glasses. Turn on the grinder and allow
it to reach full speed (3450 RPM - DW756, 3600 RPM - DW758).
Hold the workpiece firmly and against the tool rest. Hold very small
pieces with pliers or other suitable clamps. Feed the work smoothly
and evenly into the grinding wheel. Move the work slowly and avoid
jamming the work against the wheel. As the wheel tends to slow
down you should occasionally release the pressure to let the wheel
return to full speed.
Grind only on the face of the grinding wheel and never on the side.
(Some wheels are designed for side grinding and will say so on their
instruction sheets).
CAUTION: Prolonged grinding will cause most materials to
become hot. Handle them with pliers or thick gloves.
Switch
The switch is located on the front of the grinder, on the base. (Figure
1) To turn the tool on depress the side of the rocker switch on the left
side, marked “ON”. To turn off the grinder, depress the right side of
the rocker switch, marked “OFF”.
