Setting up the Grinder...

www.axminster.co.uk

Please read the section entitled Identification and Description of Parts, in order for

you to understand the terminology that we will use, so that you may better

understand the working and capability of your grinder. Keep this manual to hand for

reference for any other personnel that may be required to use the grinder.

Having assembled all the grinder attachments loosely, now the machine has to be set up

correctly and all the attachments securely fastened.

Place the grinder on a flat level surface.

Position the tool rests leaving a gap of approximately one and a half millimetres between

the grindstone and the rest, with the rest horizontal (preferably) tighten the star bolts

securely. (See fig 3)

Adjust the spark guards until they are just clear of the grindstone; fasten the fixing bolts

securely. (See fig 4)

Position the eye shields on their pivot bolts, (if necessary, 'nip' the clamping bolt of the eye

shield clamp so that the eye shields remain in place).

If there is any tendency for the grinder to move, tip or tilt while it is being operated, it

should be bolted down; either to the bench or to a specific stand, or base board.

It is a good idea to dress new grindstones before use, to remove any possible irregularities,

and ensure the stones are running concentrically.
