ASSEMBLING AND ADJUSTING THE TOOL RESTS 1. Assemble the tool rest (A) Fig. 5, to the wheel guard using the lock knob screw (B), nut and washer. A B Fig. 5 2. The tool rest (A) Fig. 6, is adjustable so it can be positioned as close to the grinding wheel as possible A giving maximum support to the piece that is being ground, by loosening lock knob (B), moving tool rest (A) to the desired position and tightening lock knob (B). As the grinding wheel wears down to a smaller diameter, re- adjust the t

ADJUSTING SPARK DEFLECTOR As the five inch grinding wheel (H) Fig. 9, wears down due to extended use, the spark deflector (J) should be adjusted downward with it, so it is always set close to the J grinding wheel for maximum operator safety. To adjust the spark deflector, loosen screw (K) Fig. 9, position the spark deflector (J) close to the surface of the H grinding wheel, and retighten screw (K). K Fig. 9 SLIDING ANGLE JIG A A sliding angle jig (A) Fig. 10, is supplied for use on the tool rest

CONNECTING WET/DRY GRINDER TO POWER SOURCE POWER CONNECTIONS A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug. For distances up to 100 feet, use #12 wire. For distances up to 150 feet, use #10 wire. Have a certified electrician replace

WATER LEVEL When using the 10 grinding wheel, there should always be enough water in the base (A) Fig. 15, of the grinder in order that one inch of the lower portion of the grinding wheel will be submerged in water. As water is absorbed into the grinding wheel, additional water must be added into the base. A Fig. 15 A drain screw (B) Fig. 16, is provided in the grinder base to remove the water.

TEN INCH WET GRINDING WHEEL The ten inch aluminum oxide grinding wheel operates at a slow speed of 70 RPM, which makes it suitable for honing cutting tools such as garden tools, chisels and sharpening axes, as shown in Fig. 26. During operation, the water level in the reservoir (A) Fig. 26, should be kept at a one inch depth. This will keep the wheel constantly wet while rotating and keep hard- A ened tools cool without damaging their temper. The large wheel also is used to remove burrs from too
