INTRODUCTION Congratulations on purchasing an Ozito Bench Grinder. We aim to provide quality tools at an affordable price. We hope you will enjoy using this tool for many years. The Ozito Bench Grinder OZBG150WA has been designed to easily cope with all sharpening and grinding requirements. This tool is intended for DIY use only.! ELECTRICAL SAFETY! WARNING! When using mains-powered equipment, basic safety precautions, including the following, should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury and material damage. Read and understand the manual prior to operating this tool. Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future reference. The electric motor has been designed for 230V and 240V only. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. Note: The supply of 230V and 240V on Ozito tools are interchangeable for Australia and New Zealand. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified electrician or a power tool repairer in order to avoid a hazard. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. Using an Extension Lead Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power input of this tool. Before use, inspect the extension lead for signs of damage, wear and ageing. Replace the extension lead if damaged or defective. When using an extension lead on a reel, always unwind the lead completely. Use of an extension lead not suitable for the power input of the tool or which is damaged or defective may result in a risk of fire and electric shock. 3

! GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to! follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term power tool" in all of the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. 1) Work area safety a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can 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 if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the 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 for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. 3) Personal safety a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. 4

! GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards. 4) Power tool use and care a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. 5) Service a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. b) If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. 5

! BENCH GRINDER SAFETY WARNINGS This appliance is not intended for use by young or infirm persons unless supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Never operate the bench grinder with cracked or damaged wheels. Always replace cracked or damaged grinding wheels immediately. Always disconnect the bench grinder from the power supply prior to making any adjustments. Always use safety equipment including, earmuff, goggles, gloves, hat and clothing when operating the bench grinder. Check and ensure that all fastening screws, bolts and nuts are securely tightened prior to operating the tool. Never use an object to slow or stop the grinding wheel whilst in motion. Ensure the eye shields and tool rests are properly adjusted. Always use the eye shields and tool rests. Don t use grinding wheels for cutting purposes. Ensure the bench grinder speed doesn t exceed the operating speed marked on replacement wheels. ASSEMBLY! WARNING! Turn off the bench grinder at the mains outlet before attempting assembly. Failure to do so may cause serious personal injury. Remove the bench grinder and contents from within the carton. Sit the bench grinder down on a table or bench with the switch side facing towards you. Note: Refer to diagram on page 1 for parts identification. Eye Shields (Fig. 1) 1. Assemble eye shields (2) by placing the raised metal sides of the eye shield bracket (1) to the upper wheel guard (10) aligning the hole in the upper wheel guard (10) and the slot in the eye shield bracket (1). 2. Fix the eye shield bracket (1) to the upper wheel guard (10) using the screws supplied with a flat washer and spring washer. Fig. 1 6

ASSEMBLY (cont.) Tool Rests (Fig. 2) 1. Assemble the tool rest (4) by placing it over the tool rest bar (5). The smaller, slightly angled portion of the tool rest (4) should be closest to you and facing down. The angle of the tool rest (4) should be adjusted according to the application. 2. Feed one of the bolts supplied through the tool rest bar (5) and tool rest (4) in the direction of the on/off switch (7). Place a flat washer and star washer over the threaded end of the bolt and secure by fastening tool rest adjusting knob (6). Note: For the tool rest (4) to work effectively, it should be no more than 1.6mm away from the grinding wheel (3). This will also aid in the deflection of stray sparks. As the wheel wears with use adjust the tool rest (4) accordingly. Mounting holes For extra stability, we recommend securing the bench grinder using the mounting holes (8) provided on the corners of the base. Secure to a bench or table using bolts (not supplied). Removing/Installing Grinding Wheels Fig. 2! WARNING! Turn off the bench grinder at the mains outlet before attempting to change grinding wheels. Failure to do so may cause serious personal injury. Abrasive wheels should be discarded when: 1. The diameter approaches that of the driving flanges. 2. The tool rest can no longer be correctly adjusted to the wheel diameter. 3. The wheel no longer grinds efficiently because of reduced peripheral speed. Note: Visually inspect wheels for damage or defects prior to fitting. 1. Remove the eye shield (2) and tool rest from the side of the bench grinder you wish to change wheels. 2. Loosen and remove the 3 sets of screws, flat washers, spring washers and nuts that hold the cover (11) over the wheel you wish to change (Fig. 3). Remove the cover (11). Fig. 3 7

ASSEMBLY (cont.) 3. Use a spanner or shifter to loosen the wheel lock nut. To remove the left wheel nut rotate clockwise. To remove the right wheel nut rotate anti-clockwise. Use one hand to lock the wheel in place and the other to loosen the nut. Remove the nut, outer flange, paper washer and old wheel (Fig. 4). Fig. 4 4. If you did not get paper washers with your new wheel, re-use the old ones. Fit the first paper washer over the spindle up against the inner flange. Fit the new wheel. Fit the second paper washer over spindle up against the wheel, then fit the outer flange and nut back to the spindle. Use one hand to lock the wheel in place and the other to tighten the nut. Note: If you are tightening the left wheel nut; tighten anti clockwise until the right wheel begins to turn. If you are tightening the right wheel nut, tighten clockwise until the left wheel begins to turn. 5. Ensure the new wheel is secured and rotates freely before proceeding. 6. Re-assemble the wheel cover (11), eye shield (2) and tool rest (4). 7. Switch on the bench grinder and ensure that the wheels are running in alignment before commencing use. OPERATION! WARNING! Do not grind with the eye shield raised: always wear safety glasses when operating the bench grinder. On/Off Switch Turn the bench grinder on by pushing the On/Off switch (7) to the I (On) setting. Once depressed it will remain on. Turn the bench grinder off by pushing the On/Off switch (7) to the O (Off) setting (Fig. 5). Fig. 5 Operation Turn the bench grinder on and stand to one side while the bench grinder reaches maximum speed. Guide the work against the tool rest and into the grinding wheel slowly and smoothly without bumping. Apply gradual pressure to allow the wheel to warm up evenly. Use only the pressure required to complete the job. By moving the work back and forth across the wheel you will prevent grooves. 8

MAINTENANCE 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. Use a wheel dressing tool (not supplied) to clean wheels. This will also improve the bench grinder s performance. Note: New wheels sometimes require dressing to true up their face. Cleaning and Lubrication Use only mild soap and a moist cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid. Self lubricating bearings are used in the tool and periodic lubrication is not required. Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries caused by repairing of the bench grinder by an unauthorised person or by mishandling of the tool.
