WORK AREA

Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered work benches and dark work areas may cause accidents or injury.

Do not operate power tools in explosive areas, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges

and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving

parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

When operating the power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord

marked “W-A” or “W.”These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

Make sure the extension cord being used is in good condition. If there are any cut or nicks (no matter how deep) in the insulation, DO NOT use that cord. Also, make sure the extension cord is heavy enough to carry the current needed by the saw (see ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS). DO NOT use small "around-thehouse” lamp extension cords. These cords can easily overheat and/or catch fire when used with power tools.

4

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,

alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

Make workshop kid proof with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.

Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

Never tool running unattended. Turn power Off.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool “ON”. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Everyday eyeglasses only

have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

.

TOOL USE AND CARE

Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a

stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

Do not use tool if the power switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the power switch is dangerous and must be replaced.

5

Disconnect the power cord plug from the power source before making any

adjustments, changing accessories or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Follow instructions for changing accessories.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool

serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your

model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool. Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories.

SERVICE

Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instruc-

tions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES FOR BENCH GRINDERS

Always wear protective eyewear and/or appropriate dust filters and respirator when using this tool.

Keep guards in place and in working order.

Frequently clean grinding dust from beneath grinder.

DO NOT operate this bench grinder until it is completely assembled accord-

ing to the instructions in this manual. Failure to adhere to these instructions could result in serious and/or permanent injury.

Obtain advice from a qualified individual if you are not completely sure how to use the bench grinder.

Follow all wiring codes. Use only properly grounded three-hole grounded receptacles. DO NOT cut the third prong off the power cord. When using an extension cord, use only UL Listed extension cords with minimum 16 AWG wiring and a maximum length of 25 feet. See ELECTRICAL SAFETY section in this manual.

Keep bystanders, children, and visitors at a safe distance from the bench

grinder while it is in operation. Distractions can cause inadvertent misuse resulting in possible injury to the bystanders or to the operator.

Always use the provided wheel flanges to mount grinding wheels on the grinder

shaft to prevent wheel damage or separation. Separation can result in fragments flying off the wheel at high speeds possibly causing severe injuries.

Use only grinding wheels and metal brushes that are designed for the speed

of this grinder. Unsuitable grinding wheels can separate throwing fragments outward at high speeds possibly causing severe injuries.

Never attempt to use a grinding wheel or metal brush with an arbor hole different from the motor shaft on the grinder.

Do not overtighten the arbor nut. Excessive tightening can cause the wheel to fracture and possibly break apart during use and throw pieces outward at high speeds.

Do not use a grinding wheel that vibrates. Visually inspect the grinding wheels and dress them as necessary or replace them immediately. If the vibration still exists, check the bearings on the motor shaft and repair or replace them as soon as possible. EXCESSIVE VIBRATION can cause wheel separation.

Replace a cracked wheel immediately.

Adjust the eye shields so they are close to the wheels. Re-adjust the shields as the wheel wears down. Flying sparks are dangerous and cause fires and/or explosions if they come in contact with flammable materials or liquids.

Make sure the eye shields are in place and properly adjusted and secured at all times the grinder is in use.

Adjust the tool rests before each use. Adjust distance between wheel and Tool

Rest to maintain 1/8 inch or less separation. The amount of separation is to be recommended by the manufacturer, but shall not be more than 1/8 inch (3.18

mm).. The tool rests should always be tightened to prevent shifting in positions.

They should be re-adjusted, as needed, as the grinding wheel wears down. If not properly adjusted, the work piece can be inadvertently drawn into the grinding wheel causing damage to it or possible severe injury to the operator.

7

DO NOT stand directly in front of the grinder when it is first turned on. Loose fragments could fly off at high speeds possibly causing injury.

NEVER engage a work piece to a cold grinding stone. A cold grinding stone has a tendency to chip. Allow the grinder to run for an entire minute before applying the work piece to the grinding stone.

NEVER start the bench grinder with the work piece against the grinding

wheel. The work piece can be drawn into the grinding wheel causing it to fragment resulting in damage to the grinder and/or serious injury to the operator.

Thoroughly clean the grinder before changing types of work pieces.

Combining wood and metal dust can result in an explosion or fire. DO NOT

GRIND OR POLISH WORK PIECES MADE OF MAGNESIUM. The magnesium could ignite resulting in a very intense fire that could cause severe burns to the operator and/or seriously damage the bench grinder.

NEVER perform grinding operations near flammable gas or liquids. The resulting fire and/or explosion could cause permanent serious injuries to the operator and damage to the grinder and surrounding work area.

Avoid awkward positions for both hands and work pieces. A sudden slip

could draw fingers into the grinding wheel causing injury. Always keep hands, arms and fingers away from the grind wheel surface. Severe injury could result.

Hold the piece firmly against the grinding wheel. A loose grip can cause loss of control of the work piece resulting in severe injuries or damage to the bench grinder.

Always make contact with the face of the grinding stones. Grinding objects on the side of the grinding stones can cause the stones to fragment resulting in fragments being thrown from the wheel at high speeds. Serious injury could result.

Never apply a coolant directly to the work piece while it is in contact with the

grinding stone. Coolant can weaken the makeup of the grinding stones causing them to fail. Dip the work piece in water to cool it.

DO NOT touch the ground portion of the work piece until it has properly

cooled. Touching HOT surfaces can cause injury.

NEVER perform layout or assembly to work pieces in front of the grinder

while it is still running. A sudden slip could bring hands in contact with the moving parts of the bench grinder resulting in injury to the operator.

8

Turn the ON/OFF switch on the grinder to the “OFF” position and unplug the power cord from the electrical receptacle when the grinding operations are

finished. Thoroughly clean the area surrounding the bench grinder making it ready for the next use.

Secure the electrical power cord to prevent unauthorized use of the bench grinder and/or to prevent children from accidentally turning it on.

Additional information about the proper use of bench grinders is available from the Power Tool Institute, 1300 Sumner Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44115-

2851 (www.powertoolinstitute.com). Information is also available from the

National Safety Council, 1121 Spring Lake Drive, Itasca, IL 60143-3201.

Additionally, you can refer to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)

01.1 Safety Requirements for Woodworking Machines and the U.S. Department of Labor OSHA 1910.213 Regulations.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

The electrical power source for this bench grinder MUST be grounded in order prevent possible electric shock or even death should the tool malfunction or breakdown. Grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current thus reducing the risk of electrical shock. The power source must also use a minimum 20A service and not used if other power tools on the same circuit are in use.

This bench grinder is equipped with a grounded 3-wire power cord with a 3-prong plug. If the power cord will not fit into the wall plug, an approved adapter can be used as long as it is connected to the center screw in the wall plate. Never modify

the electrical plug by cutting off the grounding prong so it will fit into unapproved, un-grounded electrical receptacles. See Figure 1.

If you have questions about hooking up the bench grinder, contact a certified electrical contractor to install the proper circuitry acceptable for this and other power tools you use. Repair or replace any damaged electrical wiring IMMEDIATELY.

EXTENSION CORD USAGE

Extension cords are not recommended for use with this bench grinder. Extension cords, if used, must be properly grounded with a 3-prong plug on one and a 3-hole receptacle on the other. DO NOT use grounding adapters with an extension cord.

Extension cords must be UL listed and use a minimum of 16 A.W.G. wiring.

Extension cords should never exceed 25 feet in length. Extension cords, that are too long, cause a voltage drop over the extra distance causing the grinder motor to run slower with the possibility of causing damage to the motor. Using extension cords with smaller than the recommended wire gauge run the risk of getting too hot, melting, and/or causing fires. See table, “Extension Cord Specifications”, on page 20.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Disconnect the power plug from the AC power source before any assembly, adjustments, or adding/removing accessories.

Following this preventative step reduces the risk of the drill coming on accidentally and the risk of damage to the work piece and injury to the operator.

INSPECTION: Carefully inspect each individual part of the bench grinder to ensure there are no cracked, broken, or bent components needed for a safe installation.

1. Carefully choose a location for the bench grinder. If mounted on a workbench, ensure there is adequate room all around the grinder for safe operation. The area must be level and clear of other power tools and/or power tool cords that could interfere with operation of the bench grinder.

2. If the bench grinder is installed on a universal tool stand (available at larger hardware stores), ensure there is plenty of unobstructed space around the grinder as not to interfere with safe operation on the tool.

3. The bench grinder should be installed in a place that is away from outside elements and close to an approved power receptacle so that an extension cord will not be needed. Should an extension cord be needed, refer to Page 20 in this manual for choosing the proper length and wire gauge needed for safe operation of the bench grinder.

4. Do not assemble and/or use the grinder in an area that may be contaminated with oily rags. Keep flammable materials such as gasoline, paint thinner or solvents. Sparks from normal grinding operations can ignite these compounds resulting in moderate to severe burns to the operator.

5. Carefully inspect the grinding wheels to ensure they were not damaged during shipment. Fractured grinding wheels can shatter during grinding operations and throw off pieces at high speeds. Failure to adhere to these cautions can cause severe injury including blindness or even death to the operator.

INSTALLING THE TOOL RESTS

To reduce the risk of injury, never use a bench grinder on which the tool rest has not been fitted or where the tool rest has not been correctly adjusted.

2. Install the Tool Rests (3) to the wheel guards as shown in Figure 2.

3. Insert the mounting bolts and washers through the slotted hole at the bottom of the Tool Rest and reattach them to the grinding stone guard (4).

4. Position the Tool Rest no more than 1/8 in. away from the Grinding Stone (5).

5. Tighten the two mounting bolts securely, using the appropriate size metric combination wrench, to prevent the Tool Rest from moving during usage of the bench grinder.

As the grinding stones wear down, adjust the tool rest inward maintaining the 1/8 in. gap.

6. Repeat the assembly operation for the second Tool Rest.

To reduce the risk of injury, never connect plug to power source outlet until all assembly steps are completed.

13

Prior to fitting the eye shields and spark deflectors, ensure the grinder is turned off and the power plug is removed from the socket.

Always check to ensure the eye shields are correctly fitted and the eye shield spark deflectors are correctly adjusted each time the grinder is used. Eye shields and spark deflectors must be fitted over each grinding wheel.

OPERATING THE BENCH GRINDER

Ensure the “ON/OFF” switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging the power cord into the AC power source. Ensure there are no tools or work pieces in contact with the grinding wheels when the grinder

is turned “ON.” Failure to observe these procedures could result in damage to the bench grinder, tools, work pieces, or serious personal injury to the operator or bystanders.

OPERATING THE ON/OFF SWITCH

The bench grinder “ON/OFF” switch is located on the front of the grinder base. To turn the grinder “ON,” move the rocker-style switch to the right to the “ON” position. To turn the grinder “OFF,” move the rocker-style switch to the left to the

“OFF” position.

GRINDER OPERATIONS

When sharpening tools on a grinder, avoid letting the

tool stay in one place until it becomes “RED HOT.” You will notice area will change color, possibly to a bluish tint, when the tool cools. This change in color and the exposure to high heat can alter the tempering of the metal making it more brittle and subject to frequent surface damage.

• Before starting any grinding operation, check the grinding wheels are properly dressed and have no rounded edges, gouges, or grooves. Refer to the section,

“Maintenance and Cleaning” (pages 16-19) for procedures on dressing the grinding wheels.

• Ensure the tool rests are securely tightened and the eye shields are in place and properly tightened.

• Allow the grinder to run for at least one minute to warm up the grinding wheels.

NEVER place a work piece against a “COLD” grinding wheel.

• The bench grinder is equipped with two aluminum oxide grinding wheels - one 36 grit (coarse) and one 60 grit (medium).

• Place the work piece on the tool rest and apply even pressure as contact is made with the abrasive stones.

• If the grinder is being used to sharpen heavy tools such as axes or lawnmower blades, start by using the coarse grinding wheel. This wheel removes a greater amount of surface. Then repeat the procedure using the medium wheel to give the

15 tools a finished sharpening. NOTE: The finished edges on heavy tools such as axes or lawnmower blades need not be ground to a fine edge like that of a pocket knife or scissor. The edge needs to be free of nicks and uneven edges for maximum performance. A fine edge will only become damaged easier requiring more frequent sharpening.

• When sharpening tools, start on one end of the tool and slide its surface across the grinding stone in a firm even speed and pressure. Reverse the direction for the other side.

DO NOT attempt to “grind” work pieces made of WOOD or MAGNESIUM. Using wood with a bench grinder could easily start a fire or cause severe irreversible damage to the work piece. Grinding work pieces made of magnesium or magnesium alloys can ignite causing sudden very intense fires. Magnesium fires cannot be easily extinguished. ABSOLUTELY

DO NOT THROW WATER ON A MAGNESIUM FIRE. USE ONLY A FIRE EXTIN-

GUISHER RATED FOR SUCH FIRES OR CALL FOR ASSISTANCE (9-1-1). When water is introduced to a magnesium fire, the sudden temperature change could cause the metal to explode sending very hot pieces throughout the work area possibly igniting other fires.

• Use optional accessories such as wire wheels and buffing wheels to create finishing touches to your work piece.

• WIRE WHEELS should never be used on work pieces that are polished or have a textured surface. The wheel will deface these surfaces. Like grinding stones, work pieces can be held too long against the wire wheels resulting in high temperatures and possible damage to the work piece.

Consult with Alltrade Customer Service at 1-800-590-3723 (toll free) for assistance in choosing the proper grinding wheels and accessories for your grinder.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

During normal use, the abrasive grinding wheels may become cracked, grooved, develop rounded corners on the edges, chipped, loaded with foreign material or worn from the original shape and will need to be replaced. Grinding wheels that are chipped or cracked should be replaced IMMEDIATELY.

REPLACING GRINDING WHEELS

When replacing grinding wheels, make sure the replacement wheel has a speed rating at or above the speed of the grinder. The speed rating is listed on the nameplate of the grinder. Replacement grinding wheels should have a 5/8 in. arbor hole and a maximum width of 3/4 in. See Figure 4.

1. Ensure the POWER SWITCH (1) is set to the “OFF” position and the electrical power cord is removed from the power source before changing grinding wheels.

2. Loosen the Adjustment Knob and lift the Eye Shields to the UP position. The

Eye Shield and Adjustment Knob are shown in Detail A, above.

3. Remove the three screws (2) and remove the outer cover of the Grinding Stone

Guard (3).

4. Remove the rear bolt attaching the Tool Rest to the Grinding Wheel Guard.

17

5. Loosen the front bolt on the Tool Rest. Move the Tool Rest forward as far from the Grinding Shield Guard as possible and re-tighten.

6. Wedge a small piece of wood between the Tool Rest and the Grinding Stone to prevent it from turning.

7. Using a wrench, loosen and remove the Arbor Nut (4) from the Motor

Spindle (8).

The Motor Spindle has left-hand threads on the left side and right-hand threads on the right side. Left-hand threads LOOSEN by turning them clockwise where as right hand threads loosen by turning them counter-clockwise. This prevents the spindle nuts from becoming loose during grinder operations.

8. Remove the Outer Arbor Flange (5) and the old grinding wheel.

9. Slide the NEW Grinding Stone onto the Motor Spindle and ensure it seats with the Inner Arbor Flange (7). Install the Outer Arbor Flange (5) and the Arbor

Nut (4).

10.Wedge a small piece of wood between the Tool Rest and the Grinding Stone to prevent it from turning. The Tool Rest is pictured in Detail A on page 17.

11.Using a wrench, tighten the Arbor Nut (4) to 8 Lbs-Ft.

12.Place the outer cover of the Grinding Stone Guard and secure it with the three screws (2) that were removed in Step 3, above.

13. Remove the wedge and reposition the Tool Rest no more than 1/8 in. away from the Grinding Stone and fasten all hardware.

DRESSING THE GRINDING WHEELS

After using the grinding for a period of time, the wheel surface could become grooved and the edges rounded. Re-surfacing the grinding wheel is called “dressing the wheel.” Use a suitable silicone carbide, stick-type dresser or the wheel dresser provided with the grinder. An uneven grinding wheel can cause poor results upon grinding items that use the entire surface of the wheel. Follow the steps below to dress the grinding wheel.

1. Turn on the grinder.

2. Set the dresser on the tool rest and move it forward against the moving wheel until it touches the high point.

3. Dress the grinding wheel by moving the dresser back and forth.

4. Repeat this operation until the surface of the grinding wheel is clean and free of grooves or gouges and the wheel edges are square to the wheel surface.

5. Repeat this operation on both grinding stones.

18

CLEANING THE BENCH GRINDER

• The bench grinder should only be cleaned after the power cord is removed from the power source and the Power Switch is turned to “OFF.” Clean any dust buildup from around moving parts or near electrical connections. This dust can possibly contain metallic shavings that could cause electricity to be conducted from the grinder parts to a grounded object. Use a clean rag, brush, or compressed air source to remove excessive dust buildup.

• NEVER use flammable materials to clean the grinder.

• NO LUBRICATION is required. The grinder motor uses sealed lubrication bearings installed at the factory.

FLEXIBLE WORK LIGHT (691590)

To reduce the risk of fire, NEVER use a bulb with a wattage higher than 40 watts. Use only type “A” bulb, 40 watt (max), 120V.

The Work Light features a flexible arm with a light attached.

1. Turn the Power Switch to the “OFF” position and unplug the power cord from the electrical power source.

2. Make sure the Bench Grinder has a chance to cool down to avoid personal injury when replacing light bulb (bulb not included).

3. To remove the bulb, turn counterclockwise. To install new bulb, turn clockwise.

ACCESSORIES

Only use accessories that are designed to fit your particular grinder. These accessories should be specifically labeled to match the speed and arbor size of the grinder. Failure to use the proper accessories could result in property damage, damage to the grinder, and serious personal injury to the operator.

Optional accessories for the bench grinder can include wire-brush wheels that can be used for cleaning and layered cloth wheels that can be used for polishing and buffing. Contact ALLTRADE Customer Service at 1-800-590-3723 (toll free) to find out what accessories are available for the bench grinder.

Always attach grounded (3-prong) extension cords to grounded (3-hole) outlets.

If the grinder must be used outside, use an extension cord labeled “W-A” or

“W.” These extension cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the chances of electrical shock.

19

If you must use an extension cord, be sure that the gauge is large enough to carry

the amount of current necessary for your power tool. If not, your tool may experience a loss of power, excessive voltage drop or overheating. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord (see table below).
