Do not use damaged or misshapen wheels and do not use brushes. 2. Use only grinding wheels recommended by the manufacturer which have a marked speed equal to or greater than the speed marked on the nameplate of the tool. 3. Adjust the spark arrestor frequently so as to compensate for wear of the wheel, keep the distance between the guard and the wheel as small as possible, but in any case not greater than 2mm. 4. Fasten the grinder on a suitable work surface. Before starting work, the machine must be bolted with four bolts and nuts on a suitable, stable and horizontal work surface. 7 OTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. Wear protective glasses. 2. Always use with guard and eye shields. 3. Do not over tighten wheel nut. 4. Ensure grinding wheel rotate freely before switching on power. 5.

Don t use the grinding wheels for cutting purposes. Copyright 2015 Page 5 www.ford-tools.com
WARNING! : Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. 8 ASSEMBLY 8.1 Eye shields/spark arresters (Fig.2) Before use, the eye shields/spark arresters must be fitted to the grinder. Remove both eye shields from packaging, position the shields over the two mounting brackets above the grinding wheels with the flanges of the spark arrester facing away from you, fix with the screw and washer provided. At this stage do not fully tighten, see fig 2. 8.2 Work rest adjustment (Fig.3 & 4) Take the work rest out of the package, fix on the grinder with the knob and washer provided as shown in Fig. 3. The gap between the rests and the wheels should be checked before use. Measure the gap between the grinding wheel and the rests; this should be as small as possible not greater than 2 mm, if not, loosen the two knobs on each of the rests, set the correct gap and fully tighten, see Fig. 4. The gap must be maintained as the wheel wears. 9 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 9.1 Operating Make sure grinder is securely mounted; mounting holes are provided in the base of the grinder for this purpose, but the screws are not provided. Plug in the mains supply and push the on/off switch right to the on position. Switch off and unplug the grinder when not in use. 9.2 Changing grinding wheels (Fig.5) To change the grinding wheels, first unplug from mains supply then remove the eye shield brackets, then undo and remove the three screws holding the wheel guard covers in place. Remove the cover. Undo and remove the two wheels retaining nuts (a). You may have to hold the wheel and give the spanner a firm tap with a soft headed hammer to release the nut, take off the large domed washer(b), paper washer(c) and remove the wheels(d). Copyright 2015 Page 6 www.ford-tools.com
NOTE: The nut on the right side of the grinder has a standard right hand thread (turn counter-clockwise to loosen). The one on the left side has a left hand thread (turn clockwise to loosen). Replace in same order, making sure both domed washers face correct direction, check the paper washer(c and e), if damaged replace with new paper washer. Hold the wheel and tighten the nut firmly but do not over-tighten. NOTE: only replace flanges with original items, these can be supplied through a authorized dealer. WARNING: OVERTIGHTENING CAN CRACK A GRINDING WHEEL 10 TROUBLESHOOTING Although your new bench grinder is really very simple to operate, if you do experience problems, check the following: Problem Cause Solution 1.Grinder will not start 1.Check that there is "mains" at the socket; 2.check the fuse; 3.check the connections in the plug; 1.test with an electrical screwdriver or another electrical appliance 2.if suspect replace with correct rating 3.correct and tighten poor connections 2.Wheel wobbles or vibrates 1.Check that the lock-nut is tight. 2.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. 1.Tighten if needed 2.remove it and replace with a new wheel. Dispose of old wheels sensibly. 3.Wheel leaves rough finish. 1.Too much pressure on the wheel can cause a poor surface finish. 2. If working with aluminum or similar soft alloys, the wheel will soon become clogged and will not grind effectively. 1. Apply less pressure 2. Clean the grinding stone using a dressing stone Copyright 2015 Page 7 www.ford-tools.com
10.1 HANDY HINTS Your bench grinder is useful for 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 aluminum, 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. 11 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Attention! - Before performing any work on the equipment, pull the power plug. 11.1 Cleaning Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to prevent overheating of the engine. Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth, preferably after each use. Keep the ventilation slots free from dust and dirt. If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth moistened with soapy water. Never use solvents such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These solvents may damage the plastic parts. 12 SERVICE DEPARTMENT Damaged switches must be replaced by our after-sales service department. If the connecting cable (or mains plug) is damaged, it must be replaced by a particular connecting cable which is available from our service department. Replacement of the connecting cable must only be carried out by our service department (see last page) or by a qualified person (qualified electrician). 13 STORAGE Thoroughly clean the whole machine and its accessories. Store it out of the reach of children, in a stable and secure position, in a cool and dry place, avoid too high and too low temperatures. Protect it from exposure to direct sunlight. Keep it in the dark, if possible. Don t keep it in plastic bags to avoid humidity build-up. Copyright 2015 Page 8 www.ford-tools.com
