Operation
WARNING: Always wear suitable personal protective equipment, including
eye, hearing and respiratory protection, when operating this machine.
WARNING: Be aware that the cast metal motor housing may get hot during use.
Switching on and off
Note: Do not switch the machine on or off when under load. Always allow the
motor to reach its full speed before applying a load, and to stop completely before
leaving unattended.
• To switch the machine on, press the 'I' on the On/Off Switch (11)
• To switch the machine off, press the 'O' on the On/Off Switch
Duty cycle: Do not exceed a maximum operating time of 30 minutes in every hour.
It is recommended to keep to an operating time of no more than 10 minutes to
reduce risk of damage to the tool from over-heating.
Grinding
• DO NOT push the workpiece into the grinding wheel as you grind causing the
grinding wheel to slow. Instead allow the grinding wheel to maintain full speed
and apply very minimal pressure
• DO NOT use grinding wheels that are damaged or have worn down more than
25% from their original size
• Always hold work against the Tool Rest (13) and grip with both hands. Position
yourself so you have a comfortable grip on the workpiece without being
excessively close to the grinder. It is critical your clothes have no loose strands
of material especially on your arms and close to your hands that could be
caught by the grinding wheel forcing your hand into the grinding mechanism
• DO NOT attempt to work on material that is too small to grip securely
• Always refer to wheel manufacturer's literature before use. Check that the
wheel is suitable for the material that you intend to work
• Metal grinding may produce sparks especially if the Spark Arrestor or Tool
Rest is incorrectly fitted. Ensure that you are properly protected, and that any
flammable materials are removed from the work area
• When grinding, the workpiece will quickly become hot. It may be necessary
to quench the work in water to prevent heat damage. The fine-grade grinding
wheel will produce less heat and may be safer to use for some materials that
are easily heat damaged
• Some materials may contain trace amount of toxic materials. If you are unsure
of the composition of the workpiece, it is recommended to remove grinding dust
frequently and always wear suitable respiratory protection
• Metallic dust can damage other tools if allowed to accumulate by vents and be
drawn in when the tool is operated
• When grinding, always keep the workpiece moving across the wheel surface to
prevent uneven wear of the grinding wheel
• Use the correct the type of grinding wheel. A coarse grit can be used to take
off a lot of material more quickly, a fine grit removes material more slowly and
gives a finer finish
• When grinding has finished for the session, remove dust and vacuum the work
area, and the tool

Maintenance

Repairs should be carried out by an authorised Silverline service centre. This
advice also applies to extension cords used with this tool
150W Bench Grinder
Dressing a wheel
• Over time the surface of the Grinding Wheel (9 & 14) may become uneven,
pitted and unbalanced and it will not work satisfactorily. To restore the wheel
surface to good working condition, a dressing tool should be used, such as the
Silverline Diamond Grinding Wheel Dresser (263215). Use the diamond grit head
to clean the surface of the wheel. Do not over-use a wheel dresser. Only use
when necessary as it accelerates wear of the wheel.
Cleaning
WARNING: ALWAYS wear protective equipment including eye protection and gloves
when cleaning this tool.
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear
quickly, and shorten the machine's service life. Clean the body of your machine
with a soft brush, or dry cloth. If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to
blow through the ventilation holes
• Clean the tool casing with a soft damp cloth using a mild detergent. Do not use
alcohol, petrol or strong cleaning agents
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts
Storage
• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children
