Fitting the tool rests
The tool rests are required for each high speed
grinding wheel to assist in the grinding operation.
To reduce the risk of injury, never
WARNING
use a bench grinder on which the
tool rest has not been fitted or where the tool rest
has not been correctly adjusted.
Note. The tool rests are right and left handed. Follow
the diagrams to ensure the correct tool rest is fitted to
the correct side.
IMPORTANT. Prior to fitting the tool rests, ensure the
grinder is turned off and the power plug is removed
from the socket.
3. Hold the tool rest (1) in the correct position against
the tool rest bracket (2).
4. Insert bolt (3) through tool rest bracket and tool
rest, followed by a washer (4), lock washer (5), and
locking knob (6).
5. Tighten the locking knob sufficiently to support the
tool rest but still allowing the tool rest to slide
inwards and outwards.
6. Slide the tool rest to within a maximum of 1.5mm
from the wheel. Rotate the wheel one full revolution
by hand to ensure the wheel does not contact the
tool rest.
7. Tighten the locking knob firmly to retain the
assembly.
8. Repeat the assembly operation for the second tool
rest.
