2. NEVER STICK AN OBJECT AGAINST A WHEEL TO STOP THE GRINDER. Let it slow on its
own.
3. ALWAYS USE THE TOOL REST AND SAFETY GUARDS. Supports and guards are essential
for safe grinder operation.
4. USE ONLY PROPERLY SIZED WHEELS. The wrong sized wheel can dangerously increase
or decrease operating speed at the grinding surface. A wheel that is too large could come in
contact with the wheel housing, potentially damaging the machine.
5. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. The grinder can throw off sparks and tiny metal shards.
Use eye protection to avoid operator injury.
6. ADJUST TOOL REST PROPERLY. The grinder has the potential for binding against a work-
piece introduced at an improper angle – and send it flying. Avoid grinding your workpiece at
angles greater than 90° to the direction of wheel travel.
7. ALLOW GRINDER TO REACH FULL SPEED. Let the grinding wheel reach its full operating
speed before using the grinder.
8. SECURE GRINDER. Attach the grinder firmly to your benchtop. Secure attachment will ensure
your grinder will not move when operated.
9. AVOID OVERHEATING WORKPIECE. Excessive or prolonged grinding on a workpiece can
heat it to the point where it becomes dangerous to the operator. Excessive grinding can also
soften your workpiece and ruin its edge.
10. NEVER GRIND SMALL STOCK. Do not attempt to grind or sharpen anything that cannot be
adequately supported by the tool rest. Use clamping pliers or a similar holder when grinding
parts which cannot be held easily by hand.
11. KEEP A CLEAN WORK AREA. The chances of an accident are far less if the area around your
grinder is kept free of clutter.
12. AVOID LOOSE FITTING CLOTHING AND TIE BACK LONG HAIR. A grinder’s spindle, spin-
ning at 3,450 RPM, can suck a tremendous amount of material in a very short time – given the
chance. Don’t give it the chance.
X. MAINTENANCE
Your grinder requires very little maintenance. The bearings are lubricated and sealed at the factory
and require no maintenance during their lifetimes. The grinding wheels will eventually be worn to the
point where replacement is necessary. Grizzly carries a wide assortment of wheel types and grits
designed for this machine. See the latest Grizzly catalog for pricing and ordering information. CAU-
TION: IF YOU DROP A WHEEL, DO NOT EVER USE IT. THE TINY FRACTURES CREATED BY
THE IMPACT COULD CAUSE THE WHEEL TO EXPLODE AND INJURE YOU SEVERELY.
To remove and replace a wheel:
1. Remove the eyeshield and the outside wheel housing cover.
