-16- G5963 Surface Grinder
NOTICE
If a cut is taken that is too large, the surface
grinder will bog down noticeably. The motor
may even stall. If this happens, turn off the
power immediately. Re-adjust the wheel height
to allow a lighter cut and repeat the operation.
Typical Operation
Operation of the grinder is controlled through the
location and movement of the three handwheels.
The Vertical Adjustment Handwheel controls the
up and down movement of the grinding head. It is
generally this axis which governs the amount of
stock removal which will take place. Never
attempt to remove too much material in one pass,
much better results can be achieved with multiple
passes.
The Cross Feed Handwheel controls the front to
back movement of the table. When grinding a
large surface, it will be necessary to sweep the
wheel over the surface, then move the table, then
take another sweep. Repeat this process until the
entire surface is ground. See Figure 9.
The Table Travel Handwheel (the one with the
three spokes) moves the table from left to right.
This allows the ability to traverse the part back
and forth underneath the grinding wheel.

DO NOT make adjustments while the surface
grinder is running. Ensure that the switch is off,
power is disconnected and moving parts have
stopped before making adjustments. Failure to
ensure that power is disconnected could result
in serious injury or electrical shock hazard.

Oil Pump
The critical components of the machine are lubri-
cated by means of the oil pump located on the left
hand side of the machine. See Figure 8. Check
the oil level periodically. Add new oil (Use a Way
Oil such as Mobil Vactra #2 or equivalent) as
needed to maintain the fluid level in the Oil Pump.
Pull the handle of the Pump out. Do not attempt
to push it back in! The pump handle will slowly
return to its original position as the lubricant is
dispensed. Operate the Oil Pump at the start of
each day the grinder is used. The grinding wheel
does not need to be turned on for the Oil Pump to
work.
