Troubleshooting
Although your new bench grinder is
really very simple to operate, if you do
experience
problems,
following:
1.Grinder will not start
Check that there is "mains" at the socket;
test with an electrical screwdriver or
another electrical appliance; check the
connections in the plug; correct and
tighten poor connections; check the fuse;
if suspect replace with correct rating.
2.Wheel wobbles or vibrates
Check that the lock-nut is tight. Check
that the wheel is correctly located on the
shaft and locating washer. If excessive
pressure has been used or the wheel
has "caught", it may be damaged
causing it to vibrate. If there is any
evidence that the wheel is damaged, do
not use, remove it and replace with a
new wheel. Dispose of old wheels
sensibly.

3.Wheel leaves rough finish.
Too much pressure on the wheel can
cause a poor surface finish. If working
with aluminium or similar soft alloy, the
wheel will soon become clogged and will
not grind effectively.
There are no other user serviceable
parts in your bench grinder.
HANDY HINTS
Your
bench
grinder
sharpening tools, e.g. drills, chisels;
refacing tools, e.g. removing burrs from
tool edges; removing material, however
this is not a heavy duty tool and is
designed primarily for light home and
hobby use.
The two different types of wheel will
allow the grinder to meet various needs.
Typically, use the coarse grinding wheel
for rough cutting, i.e. removing a larger
amount of material.
Use the medium wheel for finishing to
leave a smoother surface.
If the grinder is used on soft metals such
as aluminium, the wheel will soon clog
and will have to be changed.
At all times, let the grinder do the work,
do not force it or apply excessive
pressure to the wheel/cutter.
Try to use the tool rest for supporting and
guiding the workpiece. Do not grind using
the side cheeks of the grinding wheel as
undue pressure on the side of the wheel
could cause the wheel to shatter.
