Operator’s Manual GBG600L

OPERATION

IMPORTANT:Before each use of the bench grinder, inspect its general condition.

Check for loose screws, damaged electrical wiring, cracked, chipped, or damaged

wheels and misalignment or binding of the moving parts. If bench or pedestal

mounted, check that all fasteners are in place and tight.

CAUTION: Keep your bench grinder clean by removing dust from working parts,

the lower portion of the wheel guard assembly, and the work area surrounding the

grinder.
