PREPARATION
Test Run
If this machine is new and being put into service,
or if it has been in storage for a period of time,
the machine and its safety features must be
tested to ensure correct operation. Complete all
preparation steps and lubrication as outlined in
Basic Lubrication on Page 33. If you discover a
problem with the operation of the machine or its
safety components, do not operate it further until
you have resolved the problem.
Refer to Troubleshooting on Page 36 for
solutions to common problems that may occur
with surface grinders. If you need additional
help, contact our Technical Support at (360) 734-
1540.
To test run your machine:
1. Read and follow the safety instructions
at the beginning of the manual, take the
required safety precautions, and make sure
the machine is set up and adjusted properly.
3. Clear away all tools and objects used during
assembly and preparation.
4. Flush and fill the oil reservoir as instructed
in Basic Lubrication on Page 32 and
verify that the oil pump is operating.
5. Connect the machine to the power source.
6. Push the OFF button in, then twist it
clockwise so it pops out. When the OFF
button pops out, the switch is reset and
ready for operation (Figure 15).
7. Verify that the machine is operating
correctly by pushing the ON button.
— When operating correctly, the machine
runs smoothly with little or no vibration
or rubbing noises.
— Investigate and correct strange or
unusual noises or vibrations before
operating the machine further. Always
stop the machine and disconnect it from
power before investigating or correcting
potential problems.
8. Press the OFF button to stop the machine.
9. WITHOUT resetting the switch, press the
ON button. The machine should not start.
— If the machine does not start, the OFF
button safety feature is working correctly.
— If the machine does start (with the stop
button pushed in), immediately disconnect
power to the machine. The OFF button
safety feature is not working correctly.
This safety feature must work properly
before proceeding with regular operations.
