GENERAL

Warning! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed belowmay result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “Power Tool”in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded)power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1) WORK AREA

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in thepresence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks whichmay ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractionscan cause you to lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock ifyour body is earthed or grounded.

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

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unpluggingthe power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable foroutdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating apower tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influenceof drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating powertools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such asdust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used forappropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position beforeplugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging inpower tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. Awrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result inpersonal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enablesbetter control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

GENERAL

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery orlong hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collectionfacilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of thesedevices can reduce dust related hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for yourapplication. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the ratefor which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Anypower tool that can not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making anyadjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventivesafety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools, unplugged & out of the reach of children and do notallow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operatethe power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

OPERATION (cont.)

!!

10

Wet Grinder Operation

Ensure the wet & dry bench grinder is switch off.

Fill the water trough (14) with clean water to a level just below the top edge of thewater trough (14).

Switch the tool on.

The wet sharpening wheel (15) turns slower than the dry grinder wheel. Becausethe the wet sharpening wheel (15) is water cooled and runs slower, it will producea fine edge on the implement being sharpened without the risk of burning thematerial.

Tools to be sharpened can either be sharpened free-hand or by using the notcheson the edges of the water trough (14) as a guide.

Wheel Dressing

Dressing a wheel is done to renew sharpness or to true up the face of a wheel.

A build up of metals and dirt will become embedded in a wheel as it is used. Usea wheel dressing tool (not supplied) to clean wheels. In so doing, it will alsoimprove the wet & dry bench grinder’s performance.

Note: New wheels sometimes require dressing to true up their face.

Cleaning and Lubrication

Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid getinside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid. Self lubricatingbearings are used in the tool and periodic lubrication is not required.
