2. Arahan Keselamatan
Sentiasa patuhi langkah berjaga-jaga keselamatan asas untuk mengurangkan risiko kebakaran, kejutan elektrik dan kecederaan diri. Kegagalan mematuhi arahan ini boleh mengakibatkan kecederaan serius.
Keselamatan Am
- Keselamatan Kawasan Kerja: Pastikan kawasan kerja bersih dan terang. Kawasan bersepah atau gelap mengundang kemalangan. Jangan kendalikan alatan kuasa dalam atmosfera yang mudah meletup, seperti di hadapan cecair mudah terbakar, gas atau habuk.
- Keselamatan Elektrik: Palam alat kuasa mesti sepadan dengan alur keluar. Jangan sekali-kali mengubah suai palam dalam apa jua cara. Jangan gunakan sebarang palam penyesuai dengan alat kuasa yang dibumikan (dibumikan). Elakkan sentuhan badan dengan permukaan yang dibumikan atau dibumikan.
- Keselamatan Diri: Always wear eye protection (safety glasses or a face shield) and hearing protection. Use a dust mask if grinding operations create dust. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
- Penggunaan dan Penjagaan Alat: Jangan paksa alat kuasa. Gunakan alat kuasa yang betul untuk aplikasi anda. Putuskan sambungan palam daripada sumber kuasa sebelum membuat sebarang pelarasan, menukar aksesori atau menyimpan alatan kuasa.
- Penyelenggaraan: Mengekalkan alat kuasa. Periksa ketidaksejajaran atau pengikatan bahagian yang bergerak, kerosakan bahagian, dan keadaan lain yang mungkin mempengaruhi operasi alat kuasa.
Specific Bench Grinder Safety
- Ensure the bench grinder is securely mounted to a workbench before operation to prevent movement and vibration.
- Always use grinding wheels that are rated for the grinder's maximum RPM.
- Adjust work rests to within 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) of the grinding wheel.
- Adjust spark arresters (eye shields) to provide maximum protection.
- Never grind on the side of the wheel unless the wheel is specifically designed for side grinding.
- Allow the grinder to reach full speed before applying the workpiece.
- Do not wear loose clothing, ties, or jewelry that could get caught in moving parts.

Proper setup ensures safe and efficient operation of your bench grinder.
4.1 Mounting to a Workbench
- Position the bench grinder on a stable, level workbench.
- Mark the locations for the mounting bolts through the holes in the grinder's base.
- Drill appropriate holes in the workbench.
- Secure the grinder to the workbench using bolts, washers, and nuts. Ensure it is firmly attached to prevent movement during operation.

4.2 Adjusting Work Rests and Spark Arresters
- Work Rests: Loosen the adjustment knob for each work rest. Position the rest so that it is approximately 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) from the grinding wheel surface. This gap prevents workpieces from being wedged between the rest and the wheel. Tighten the knob securely.
- Spark Arresters (Eye Shields): Adjust the transparent spark arresters to provide maximum visibility of the grinding area while offering optimal protection from sparks and debris. Ensure they are securely fastened.

5. Arahan Operasi
Follow these steps for safe and effective grinding.
5.1 General Grinding Procedure
- Ensure all safety precautions are in place, including eye and hearing protection.
- Palamkan pengisar ke salur keluar kuasa yang sesuai.
- Turn on the grinder using the dust-proof power switch. Allow the wheels to reach full operating speed before beginning work.
- Hold the workpiece firmly against the work rest. Slowly and gently bring the workpiece into contact with the grinding wheel.
- Apply light, even pressure. Avoid excessive force, which can damage the wheel or workpiece and cause overheating.
- Move the workpiece across the face of the wheel to ensure even wear and a consistent grind.
- Periodically check the temperature of the workpiece to prevent overheating, especially with heat-sensitive materials.
- When finished, turn off the grinder and wait for the wheels to come to a complete stop before leaving the machine unattended.
