WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and  
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California  
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.  
DO NOT FORCE TOOL. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the  
rate for which it is designed.  
Some examples of these chemicals are:  
• Lead from lead-based paints.  
USE THE CORRECT TOOL FOR YOUR APPLICATION. Do not force tool or  
attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.  
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products,  
and arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.  
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use a face mask or dusk mask if cutting  
operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact lenses, they are NOT  
safety glasses.  
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 dust masks that are  
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.  
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the  
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body  
is unstable and may lead to loss of control.  
WARNING: Handling the power cord on corded products may expose you to  
lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth  
defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.  
DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper  
footing and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected sit-  
uations.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.  
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest  
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.  
DISCONNECT TOOLS BEFORE SERVICING AND WHEN CHANGING ACCES-  
SORIES, SUCH AS BLADES, BITS, CUTTERS AND THE LIKE. REDUCE THE  
RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Be sure switch is in the “OFF” position  
before plugging in.

EXTENSION CORD USAGE  
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
Extension cords are not recommended for use with this bench grinder. Extension  
cords, if used, must be properly grounded with a 3-prong plug on one and a 3-hole  
receptacle on the other. DO NOT use grounding adapters with an extension cord.  
Extension cords must be UL listed and use a minimum of 18 A.W.G. wiring.  
Extension cords should never exceed 25 feet in length. Extension cords, that are too  
long, cause a voltage drop over the extra distance causing the grinder motor to run  
slower with the possibility of causing damage to the motor. Using extension cords  
with smaller than the recommended wire gauge run the risk of getting too hot, melt-  
ing, and/or causing fires. See table, “Extension Cord Specifications”, on page 18.  
The electrical power source for this bench grinder MUST be grounded in order pre-  
vent possible electric shock or even death should the tool malfunction or break-  
down. Grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current thus reduc-  
ing the risk of electrical shock. The power source must also use a minimum 20A  
service and not used if other power tools on the same circuit are in use.  
This bench grinder is equipped with a grounded 3-wire power cord with a 3-prong  
plug. If the power cord will not fit into the wall plug, an approved adapter can be  
used as long as it is connected to the center screw in the wall plate. Never modify  
the electrical plug by cutting off the grounding prong so it will fit into unapproved,  
un-grounded electrical receptacles. See Figure 1.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES FOR BENCH GRINDERS  
If you have questions about hooking up the bench grinder, contact a certified elec-  
trical contractor to install the proper circuitry acceptable for this and other power  
tools you use. Repair or replace any damaged electrical wiring IMMEDIATELY.  
ALWAYS wear protective eyewear and/or appropriate dust filters and respirator  
when using this tool.  
DO NOT OPERATE THIS BENCH GRINDER until it is completely assembled  
according to the instructions in this manual. Failure to adhere to these instruc-  
tions could result in serious and/or permanent injury.  
OBTAIN ADVICE FROM A QUALIFIED INDIVIDUAL if you are not completely  
sure how to use the bench grinder.

FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES. Use only properly grounded three-hole ground-  
ed receptacles. DO NOT cut the third prong off the power cord. When using an  
extension cord, use only UL Listed extension cords with minimum 16 AWG  
wiring and a maximum length of 25 feet. See ELECTRICAL SAFETY section in  
this manual.  
DO NOT STAND DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE GRINDER when it is first turned  
on. Loose fragments could fly off at high speeds possibly causing injury.  
NEVER ENGAGE A WORK PIECE TO A COLD GRINDING STONE. A cold grind-  
ing stone has a tendency to chip. Allow the grinder to run for an entire minute  
before applying the work piece to the grinding stone.  
KEEP BYSTANDERS, CHILDREN, AND VISITORS at a safe distance from the  
bench grinder while it is in operation. Distractions can cause inadvertent  
misuse resulting in possible injury to the bystanders or to the operator.  
NEVER START THE BENCH GRINDER WITH THE WORK PIECE AGAINST THE  
GRINDING WHEEL. The work piece can be drawn into the grinding wheel  
causing it to fragment resulting in damage to the grinder and/or serious injury  
to the operator.  
ALWAYS USE THE PROVIDED WHEEL FLANGES to mount grinding wheels on the  
grinder shaft to prevent wheel damage or separation. Separation can result in frag-  
ments flying off the wheel at high speeds possibly causing severe injuries.  
THOROUGHLY CLEAN THE GRINDER BEFORE CHANGING TYPES OF WORK  
PIECES. Combining wood and metal dust can result in an explosion or fire. DO  
NOT GRIND OR POLISH WORK PIECES MADE OF MAGNESIUM. The magne-  
sium could ignite resulting in a very intense fire that could cause severe burns  
to the operator and/or seriously damage the bench grinder.  
USE ONLY GRINDING WHEELS AND METAL BRUSHES that are designed for the  
speed of this grinder. Unsuitable grinding wheels can separate throwing frag-  
ments outward at high speeds possibly causing severe injuries.  
NEVER ATTEMPT TO USE A GRINDING WHEEL OR METAL BRUSH with an  
arbor hole different from the motor shaft on the grinder.  
NEVER PERFORM GRINDING OPERATIONS NEAR FLAMMABLE GAS OR  
LIQUIDS. The resulting fire and/or explosion could cause permanent serious  
injuries to the operator and damage to the grinder and surrounding work area.  
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE ARBOR NUT. Excessive tightening can cause the  
wheel to fracture and possibly break apart during use and throw pieces outward  
at high speeds.  
AVOID AWKWARD POSITIONS for both hands and work pieces. A sudden slip  
could draw fingers into the grinding wheel causing injury. ALWAYS KEEP  
ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS away from the grind wheel surface. Severe  
injury could result.  
DO NOT USE A GRINDING WHEEL THAT VIBRATES. Visually inspect the  
grinding wheels and dress them as necessary or replace them immediately. If the  
vibration still exists, check the bearings on the motor shaft and repair or replace  
them as soon as possible. EXCESSIVE VIBRATION can cause wheel separation.  
HOLD THE WORK PIECE FIRMLY AGAINST THE GRINDING WHEEL. A loose  
grip can cause loss of control of the work piece resulting in severe injuries or  
damage to the bench grinder.  
REPLACE A CRACKED WHEEL IMMEDIATELY.  
ALWAYS MAKE CONTACT WITH THE FACE OF THE GRINDING STONES.  
Grinding objects on the side of the grinding stones can cause the stones to frag-  
ment resulting in fragments being thrown from the wheel at high speeds.  
Serious injury could result.  
ADJUST THE EYE SHIELDS SO THEY ARE CLOSE TO THE WHEELS. Re-adjust the  
shields as the wheel wears down. Flying sparks are dangerous and cause fires  
and/or explosions if they come in contact with flammable materials or liquids.  
MAKE SURE THE EYE SHIELDS ARE IN PLACE and properly adjusted and  
secured at all times the grinder is in use.  
NEVER APPLY A COOLANT DIRECTLY TO THE WORK PIECE WHILE IT IS IN  
CONTACT WITH THE GRINDING STONE. Coolant can weaken the makeup of the  
grinding stones causing them to fail. Dip the work piece in water to cool it.  
ADJUST THE TOOL RESTS BEFORE EACH USE. The tool rests should be close  
to the grinding wheels (about 1/8" separation or less). The tool rests should  
always be tightened to prevent shifting in positions. They should be re-adjust-  
ed, as needed, as the grinding wheel wears down. If not properly adjusted, the  
work piece can be inadvertently drawn into the grinding wheel causing damage  
to it or possible severe injury to the operator.  
DO NOT TOUCH THE GROUND PORTION OF THE WORKPIECE until it has prop-  
erly cooled. Touching HOT surfaces can cause injury.  
NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT OR ASSEMBLY to work pieces in front of the  
grinder while it is still running. A sudden slip could bring hands in contact with  
the moving parts of the bench grinder resulting in injury to the operator.

INSPECTION: Carefully inspect each individual part of the bench grinder to ensure  
there are no cracked, broken, or bent components needed for a safe installation.  
1. Carefully choose a location for the bench grinder. If mounted on a workbench,  
ensure there is adequate room all around the grinder for safe operation. The  
area must be level and clear of other power tools and/or power tool cords that  
could interfere with operation of the bench grinder.  
2

2. If the bench grinder is installed on a universal tool stand (available at larger  
hardware stores), ensure there is plenty of unobstructed space around the  
grinder as not to interfere with safe operation on the tool.  
FIGURE 2. INSTALLING THE R/H TOOL REST  
3. Position the Tool Rest no more than 1/8" away from the Grinding Stone (5).  
3. The bench grinder should be installed in a place that is away from outside ele-  
ments and close to an approved power receptacle so that an extension cord will  
not be needed. Should an extension cord be needed, refer to Page 18 in this  
manual for choosing the proper length and wire gauge needed for safe opera-  
tion of the bench grinder.  
4. Tighten the two mounting bolts securely, using the appropriate size metric  
combination wrench, to prevent the Tool Rest from moving during usage of the  
bench grinder.  
5. As the grinding stones wear down, loosen the two mounting bolts and adjust  
the tool rest inward maintaining the 1/8" gap.  
4. Do not assemble and/or use the grinder in an area that may be contaminated  
with oily rags. Keep flammable materials such as gasoline, paint thinner or sol-  
vents. Sparks from normal grinding operations can ignite these compounds  
resulting in moderate to severe burns to the operator.  
6. Re-tighten the two mounting bolts securely, using the appropriate size metric  
combination wrench, to prevent the Tool Rest from moving during usage of the  
bench grinder.  
5. Carefully inspect the grinding wheels to ensure they were not damaged during  
shipment. Fractured grinding wheels can shatter during grinding operations and  
throw off pieces at high speeds. Failure to adhere to these cautions can cause  
severe injury including blindness or even death to the operator.  
Ensure the Tool Rest is securely tightened before turning  
the bench grinder power switch to “ON!” Always replace a Tool Rest should it  
become broken. Contact Alltrade Customer Service at 1-800-590-3723 (toll  
free) for authorized replacement parts.  
INSTALLING THE TOOL RESTS  
When installing the Tool Rests on the bench grinder, NOTE there is a Left Tool Rest  
and a Right Tool Rest. The tool rest shelf ALWAYS points away from the motor and  
the two different tool rests cannot be installed on the wrong side. See Figure 2.  
1. Remove the two mounting bolts (1) and washers (2) from the inside of the  
Grinding Stone Guard (4).  
2. Insert the mounting bolts and washers through the slotted hole at the bottom  
of the Tool Rest (3) and reattach them to the Grinding Stone Guard.

OPERATING THE ON/OFF SWITCH  
INSTALLING THE EYE SHIELDS  
The Eye Shields prevent hot sparks and other debris from flying off the spinning  
grind wheels and possibly causing injury to the eyes of the operator. The eye shields  
can be mounted in different positions depending on the operator. See Figure 3.  
The bench grinder “ON/OFF” switch is located on the front of the grinder base. To  
turn the grinder “ON,” move the rocker-style switch to the right to the “ON”  
position. To turn the grinder “OFF,” move the rocker-style switch to the left to the  
“OFF” position.

• Before starting any grinding operation, check the grinding wheels are properly  
dressed and have no rounded edges, gouges, or grooves. Refer to the section,  
“Maintenance and Cleaning” (page 15-18) for procedures on dressing the  
grinding wheels.

2. Attach the Eye Shield and  
Mounting Bracket to one of the  
three mounting holes in the  
Grinding Stone Guard (5) using  
the Adjustment Knob, Split-lock  
Washer and Flat Washer (4).  
• Ensure the tool rests are securely tightened and the eye shields are in place and  
properly tightened.  
• Allow the grinder to run for at least one minute to warm up the grinding  
wheels. NEVER place a work piece against a “COLD” grinding wheel.  
• The bench grinder is equipped with two aluminum oxide grinding wheels - one  
36 grit (coarse) and one 60 grit (medium).  
3. Adjust the Eye Shield by  
loosening Adjustment Knob  
and positioning in a desired  
position. Re-tighten the  
Adjustment Knob securing the  
Eye Shield to the grinder.  
• Place the work piece on the tool rest and apply even pressure as contact is  
made with the abrasive stones.  
• If the grinder is being used to sharpen heavy tools such as axes or lawnmower  
blades, start by using the coarse grinding wheel. This wheel removes a greater  
amount of surface. Then repeat the procedure using the medium wheel to give  
the tools a finished sharpening. NOTE: The finished edges on heavy tools such  
as axes or lawnmower blades need not be ground to a fine edge like that of a  
pocket knife or scissor. The edge needs to be free of nicks and uneven edges  
for maximum performance. A fine edge will only become damaged easier  
requiring more frequent sharpening.  
FIGURE 3. INSTALLING THE EYE SHIELD  
Ensure the Eye Shield is in the preferred location and  
securely tightened before turning the bench grinder power switch to “ON!”  
Always replace an Eye Shield should it become cracked, broken or scratched to  
that the view through it is impaired. Contact Alltrade Customer Service at 1-  
800-590-3723 (toll free) for authorized replacement parts.  
• When sharpening tools, start on one end of the tool and slide its surface across  
the grinding stone in a firm even speed and pressure. Reverse the direction for  
the other side.  
OPERATING THE BENCH GRINDER  
When sharpening tools on a grinder, avoid letting the  
tool stay in one place until it becomes “RED HOT.You will notice area will  
change color, possibly to a bluish tint, when the tool cools. This change in color  
and the exposure to high heat can alter the tempering of the metal making it  
more brittle and subject to frequent surface damage.  
Ensure the “ON/OFF” switch is in the “OFF” position  
before plugging the power cord into the AC power source. Ensure there are  
no tools or work pieces in contact with the grinding wheels when the grinder  
is turned “ON.” Failure to observe these procedures could result in damage to  
the bench grinder, tools, work pieces, or serious personal injury to the operator  
or bystanders.  
13  
14  
 
DO NOT attempt to “grind” work pieces made of WOOD  
or MAGNESIUM. Using wood with a bench grinder could easily start a fire or  
cause severe irreversible damage to the work piece. Grinding work pieces  
made of magnesium or magnesium alloys can ignite causing sudden very  
intense fires. Magnesium fires cannot be easily extinguished. ABSOLUTELY  
DO NOT THROW WATER ON A MAGNESIUM FIRE. USE ONLY A FIRE EXTIN-  
GUISHER RATED FOR SUCH FIRES OR CALL FOR ASSISTANCE (9-1-1). When  
water is introduced to a magnesium fire, the sudden temperature change  
could cause the metal to explode sending very hot pieces throughout the  
work area possibly igniting other fires.

WIRE WHEELS should never be used on work pieces that are polished or have  
a textured surface. The wheel will deface these surfaces. Like grinding stones,  
work pieces can be held too long against the wire wheels resulting in high  
temperatures and possible damage to the work piece.  
Consult with Alltrade Customer Service at 1-800-590-3723 (toll free) for assistance  
in choosing the proper grinding wheels and accessories for your grinder.

FIGURE 4. REPLACING GRINDING WHEEL  
During normal use, the abrasive grinding wheels may become cracked, grooved,  
develop rounded corners on the edges, chipped, loaded with foreign material or  
worn from the original shape and will need to be replaced. Grinding wheels that are  
chipped or cracked should be replaced IMMEDIATELY.  
4. Remove the rear bolt attaching the Tool Rest to the Grinding Wheel Guard.  
5. Loosen the front bolt on the Tool Rest. Move the Tool Rest forward as far from  
the Grinding Shield Guard as possible and re-tighten.  
REPLACING GRINDING WHEELS  
When replacing grinding wheels, make sure the replacement wheel has a speed rat-  
ing at or above the speed of the grinder. The speed rating is listed on the nameplate  
of the grinder. Replacement grinding wheels should have a 1/2" arbor hole and a  
maximum width of 3/4". See Figure 4.  
6. Wedge a small piece of wood between the Grinding Wheel Guard and the  
Grinding Stone to prevent it from turning.  
7. Using a wrench, loosen and remove the Arbor Nut (4) from the Motor  
Spindle (8).  
1. Ensure the POWER SWITCH (1) is set to the “OFF” position and the electrical  
power cord is removed from the power source before changing grinding  
wheels.  
The Motor Spindle has left-hand threads on the left side  
and right-hand threads on the right side. Left-hand threads LOOSEN by turn-  
ing them clockwise where as right hand threads loosen by turning them  
counter-clockwise. This prevents the spindle nuts from becoming loose dur-  
ing grinder operations.  
2. Loosen the Adjustment Knob and lift the Eye Shields to the UP position. The  
Eye Shield and Adjustment Knob are shown in Detail A, above.  
3. Remove the three screws (2) and remove the outer cover of the Grinding Stone  
Guard (9).  
15

8. Remove the Outer Arbor Flange (5) and the old grinding wheel.  
• To replace the Work Light bulbs, wait until they have cooled enough to safely  
handle, and unscrew the used bulb by turning it counterclockwise.  
• Install a new bulb in the Work Light, insert it into the socket, and turn it clockwise.  
9. Slide the NEW Grinding Stone onto the Motor Spindle and ensure it seats with  
the Inner Arbor Flange (7). Install the Outer Arbor Flange (5) and the Arbor  
Nut (4).  
10.Wedge a small piece of wood between the Tool Rest and the Grinding Stone to  
prevent it from turning. The Tool Rest is pictured in Detail A on page14.  
11.Using a wrench, tighten the Arbor Nut (4).  
To prevent the possibility of fire, do not use light bulbs  
brighter than 15 watt and rated for 120V AC, 60Hz.  
12.Place the outer cover of the Grinding Stone Guard and secure it with the three  
screws (2) that were removed in Step 3, above.  
DRESSING THE GRINDING WHEELS  
After using the grinding for a period of time, the wheel surface could become  
grooved and the edges rounded. Re-surfacing the grinding wheel is called “dress-  
ing the wheel.” Use a suitable silicone carbide, stick-type dresser or the wheel  
dresser provided with the grinder. An uneven grinding wheel can cause poor results  
upon grinding items that use the entire surface of the wheel. Follow the steps below  
to dress the grinding wheel.  
ACCESSORIES  
Optional accessories for the bench grinder can include wire-brush wheels that can  
be used for cleaning and layered cloth wheels that can be used for polishing and  
buffing. Contact ALLTRADE Customer Service at 1-800-590-3723 (toll free) to find  
out what accessories are available for the bench grinder.  
Only use accessories that are designed to fit your partic-  
ular grinder. These accessories should be specifically labeled to match the  
speed and arbor size of the grinder. Failure to use the proper accessories  
could result in property damage, damage to the grinder, and serious person-  
al injury to the operator.  
1. Turn on the grinder.  
2. Set the dresser on the tool rest and move it forward against the moving wheel  
until it touches the high point.  
3. Dress the grinding wheel by moving the dresser back and forth.  
4. Repeat this operation until the surface of the grinding wheel is clean and free of  
grooves or gouges and the wheel edges are square to the wheel surface.  
Always attach grounded (3-prong) extension cords to grounded (3-hole) outlets.  
If the grinder must be used outside, use an extension cord labeled “W-A” or  
“W.” These extension cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the chances of  
electrical shock.  
If you must use an extension cord, be sure that the gauge is large enough to carry  
the amount of current necessary for your power tool. If not, your tool may experi-  
ence a loss of power, excessive voltage drop or overheating. The smaller the gauge  
number, the heavier the cord (see table below).  
5. Repeat this operation on both grinding stones.  
CLEANING THE BENCH GRINDER  
• The bench grinder should only be cleaned after the power cord is removed from  
the power source and the Power Switch is turned to “OFF.” Clean any dust  
buildup from around moving parts or near electrical connections. This dust can  
possibly contain metallic shavings that could cause electricity to be conducted  
from the grinder parts to a grounded object. Use a clean rag, brush, or com-  
pressed air source to remove excessive dust buildup.

By purchasing the product, purchaser expressly acknowledges and agrees that their  
sole and exclusive remedy under this warranty shall be strictly limited to the repair  
or replacement of any covered nonconforming items or parts thereof provided that  
any such nonconforming item and/or part is promptly returned to Alltrade’s facility  
postage pre-paid and insured (address: ALLTRADE Warranty Claims & Repair,  
1431 Via Plata, Long Beach, CA 90810, Attn: Customer Service #1-800-590-3723)  
within the applicable warranty period, with a written request by purchaser that  
Alltrade repair and/or replace the nonconforming item and/or part. We recommend  
that you keep the original product packaging in the event you need to ship the unit.  
We suggest the package be insured against loss or in transit damage. When  
sending your product include your name, address, phone number, dated proof  
of purchase (or copy), and a statement about the nature of problem. Warranty  
coverage is conditioned upon purchaser furnishing Alltrade with adequate written  
proof that they are the original purchaser and of the original purchase date. Parts  
returned, freight prepaid and insured, to Alltrade’s facility (see above address) will  
be inspected and, at Alltrade’s option, repaired and/or replaced free of charge if  
found to be defective and subject to warranty. Alltrade retains the sole discretion  
to determine whether any item or part is nonconforming and, if so, whether the  
item and/or part will be repaired and/or replaced. If the unit is repaired, new or  
reconditioned replacement parts may be used. If Alltrade chooses to replace  
the product, it may replace it with a new or reconditioned one of the same or  
comparable design. The repaired or replaced unit will be warranted under the terms  
of the remainder of the warranty period. Typically, a defective product that is  
returned within the first 30 days after the purchase date will be replaced; for items  
returned after the first 30 days and within the warranty period, covered defective  
parts not subject to normal wear and tear or other exclusions will be repaired or  
replaced, at Alltrade’s option. During the warranty period, Alltrade will be responsi-  
ble for the return shipping charges. Alltrade’s repair and/or replacement of any non-  
conforming item and/or part thereof shall constitute fulfillment of all  
obligations to the purchaser. Alltrade shall not be responsible or liable for any  
expense, including freight charges, or repairs made outside Alltrade’s facility, unless  
expressly agreed to by Alltrade in writing. Under no circumstances shall Alltrade  
bear any responsibility for loss of the unit, loss of time or rental, inconvenience,  
commercial loss or consequential damages.
