G5963 Surface Grinder -17-
Once the assembly is complete and the adjust-
ments are done to your satisfaction, you are
ready to test the machine.
Turn on the power supply at the main panel.
Press the START button. Make sure that your fin-
ger is poised on the STOP button, just in case
there is a problem. The surface grinder should
run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing
noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be
investigated and corrected before operating the
machine further.
Test Run
NOTICE
Before starting any grinding job, run the sliding
table back and forth with the motor off! Check
to make sure there will be adequate clear-
ances between the wheel and the holding fix-
tures or portions of the part which are not
intended to be ground.
Operation of this equipment has the potential
to propel debris into the air which can cause
eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or gog-
gles when operating equipment. Everyday
glasses or reading glasses only have impact
resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.
Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet
the appropriate standards of the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Accessories
In order to properly use this machine it is necessary to
purchase some type of holding fixture. The workpiece
must be firmly secured before beginning any type of
grinding operations. Refer to the current Grizzly cata-
log for options. The most versatile holding device is a
magnetic chuck. See Figure 10. With the throw of a
lever anything magnetic can be firmly attached to the
table without having jaws or fingers which might inter-
fere with the grinding wheel.
Some types of grinding will also be aided by the addi-
tion of some type of lubricant or coolant. These can be
introduced into the process by means of a spray device
operated by hand or by a pump of some sort. The
Grizzly catalog has several different options for adding
coolant capability to your grinder.
