ASSEMBLy
MOUNTING GRINDER TO WORKBENCH
See Figure 5, page 14.
The bench grinder must be mounted to a firm supporting
surface such as a workbench or leg stand. Four bolt holes
have been provided in the tool's base for this purpose. Each
of the four mounting holes should be bolted securely using
machine bolts, lock washers, and hex nuts (not included).
Bolts should be of sufficient length to accommodate the
saw base, lock washers, hex nuts, and the thickness of the
workbench. Tighten all four bolts securely.
Carefully check the workbench after mounting to make sure
that no movement can occur during use. If any tipping, slid-
ing, or walking is noted, secure the workbench to the floor
before operating.
