NOTICE  
Standard Safety Instructions  
1. THOROUGHLY READ THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING YOUR MACHINE. Learn the  
applications, limitations and potential hazards of this machine. Keep the manual in a safe and con-  
venient place for future reference.  
2. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIGHTED. Clutter and poor lighting invite potential hazards.  
3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If a machine is equipped with a three-prong plug, it must be plugged into a  
three-hole grounded electrical receptacle or grounded extension cord. If using an adapter to aid in  
accommodating a two-hole receptacle, ground using a screw to a known ground.  
4. WEAR EYE PROTECTION AT ALL TIMES. Use safety glasses with side shields or safety goggles that  
meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).  
5. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not operate this machine in wet or open flame environ-  
ments. Airborne dust particles could cause an explosion and severe fire hazard.  
6. ENSURE ALL GUARDS ARE SECURELY IN PLACE and in working condition.  
7. MAKE SURE SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION before connecting power to machine.  
8. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN, free of clutter, grease, etc.  
9. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. Visitors must be kept at a safe distance while operating

12.DO NOT FORCE TOOL. The machine will do a safer and better job at the rate for which it was  
designed.  
13.USE CORRECT TOOL. Do not force machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not  
designed.  
14.WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, neck ties, gloves, jewelry, and secure long  
hair away from moving parts.  
15.REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS, RAGS, AND TOOLS. Before turning the machine on, make it a habit to  
check that all adjusting keys and wrenches have been removed.  
16.AVOID USING AN EXTENSION CORD. But if you must use one, examine the extension cord to ensure  
it is in good condition. Immediately replace a damaged extension cord. Always use an extension  
cord that uses a ground pin and connected ground wire. Use an extension cord that meets the amp  
rating on the motor nameplate. If the motor is dual voltage, be sure to use the amp rating for the  
voltage you will be using. If you use an extension cord with an undersized gauge or one that is too  
long, excessive heat will be generated within the circuit, increasing the chance of a fire or damage  
to the circuit.  
17.KEEP PROPER FOOTING AND BALANCE at all times.  
18.DO NOT LEAVE MACHINE UNATTENDED. Wait until it comes to a complete stop before leaving the  
area.  
19.PERFORM ALL MACHINE MAINTENANCE. Follow lubrication and accessory attachment instructions in  
the manual.  
20.KEEP MACHINE AWAY FROM OPEN FLAME. Operating machines near pilot lights or open flames cre-  
ates a high risk if dust is dispersed in the area. Dust particles and an ignition source may cause an  
explosion. Do not operate the machine in high-risk areas, including but not limited to, those men-  
tioned above.  
21.IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES performing the intended operation, stop  
using the machine! Then contact our service department or ask a qualified expert how the operation  
should be performed.

safety by not reading!  
1. EYE PROTECTION. Grinding causes small particles to become airborne at a high rate of speed.  
ALWAYS wear safety glasses when using this machine.  
2. MOUNTING TO BENCH/STAND. An unsecured grinder may become dangerously out of control dur-  
ing operation. Make sure grinder is FIRMLY secured to a bench/stand before use.  
3. WHEEL SPEED RATING. Wheels operated at a faster speed than rated for may break or fly apart.  
Before mounting a new wheel, be sure the wheel RPM rating is equal or higher than the speed of  
the grinder.  
4. WHEEL FLANGES. Only use the flanges included with the grinder when mounting wheels. Other  
flanges may not properly secure the wheel and cause an accident.  
5. RING TEST. Perform a “ring test” on grinding wheels before installation to ensure that they are  
safe to use. A wheel that does not pass the ring test may break or fly apart during operation.  
6. STARTING GRINDER. If a wheel IS damaged, it will usually fly apart shortly after start-up. To  
protect yourself, always stand to the side of the grinder when turning it ON, allow it to gain full  
speed and wait for at least 1 minute before standing in front of it.  
7. LUNG PROTECTION. Grinding produces hazardous dust, which may cause long-term respiratory  
problems if breathed. Always wear a NIOSH approved dust mask or respirator when grinding.  
8. SIDE GRINDING. Grinding on the side of wheels can cause them to break and fly apart—unless the  
wheel is rated for side grinding.  
9. TOP GRINDING. Grinding on the top of wheels greatly increases the risk of workpiece kickback.  
Always grind on the downward part of the wheel.  
10. HAND/WHEEL CONTACT. Grinding wheels have the capability of removing a lot of skin fast. Keep  
a firm grip on the workpiece and position your hands a safe distance away when grinding. Avoid  
wearing gloves as they may get caught in the grinding wheel and cause even more serious entan-  
glement injuries.  
11. TOOL REST POSITION. If the tool rest is too far away from the wheel, the workpiece may be  
pulled down, causing loss of control and pulling your hand into the grinding wheel. Keep the tool  
rest within 18" from the wheel when operating.

ELECTRICAL  
110V Operation  
The SHOP FOX® M1051 operates at 110 volts. The motor  
supplied with this machine is rated at 13 HP. When  
choosing an outlet for this machine, consider using one  
with a 15 amp circuit breaker or fuse. Keep in mind that  
a circuit being used by other machines or tools at the  
same time will add to the total load being applied to the  
circuit. Add up the load ratings of all machines on the  
circuit. If this number exceeds the rating of the circuit  
breaker or fuse, use a different circuit.  
This equipment must be grounded.  
Verify that any existing electrical out-  
let and circuit you intend to plug into  
is actually grounded. If it is not, it  
will be necessary to run a separate 12  
A.W.G. copper grounding wire from  
the outlet to a known ground. Under  
no circumstances should the ground-  
ing pin from any three-pronged plug  
be removed or serious injury may  
occur.  
Extension Cords  
When it is necessary to use an extension cord, use the  
following guidelines:  
Use cords rated for standard service.  
Never exceed a length of 100 feet.  
Use cords with 14 ga. wire or bigger.  
Insure cord has a ground wire and pin.  
Do not use cords in need of repair.  
Grounding  
This machine must be grounded! The electrical cord sup-  
plied with the Model M1051 comes with a grounding pin.  
Do not remove it (see Figure 2). If your outlet does not  
accommodate a ground pin, have it replaced by a quali-  
fied electrician or have an appropriate adapter installed.

Shop Preparation  
Working Clearances: Consider existing and  
anticipated needs, size of material to be processed  
through the machine, and space for other machinery  
when establishing a location for your new machine.  
Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough to  
eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.  
Electrical: Electrical circuits should be dedicated.  
Outlets should be located near the machine, so  
power or extension cords are clear of high-traffic  
areas. Follow local electrical codes for proper  
installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.  
MAKE your shop “child safe.Ensure  
that your workplace is inaccessible to  
youngsters by closing and locking all  
entrances when you are away. NEVER  
allow untrained visitors in your shop  
when assembling, adjusting or operat-  
ing equipment.  
Mounting  
The 6" Bench Grinder should be mounted to a workbench  
to avoid accidental tipping. If you intend on using the  
6" Bench Grinder for portable applications, mount it to  
a heavy plywood base (at least 1" thick) that is wide  
enough to prevent tipping or rocking during use.  
To mount the bench grinder, do these steps:  
1. Determine the surface or object to which you will  
mount your 6" Bench Grinder, and obtain the needed  
hardware for your mounting application.  
2. Fasten the 6" Bench Grinder to your supporting  
surface, using the dimensions in Figure 4. DO NOT  
overtighten the mounting bolts or you will crack the  
base.  
3. Check the stability of the mounted 6" Bench Grinder  
Figure 4. Dimensions for mounting 6"  
to make sure it is stable enough to be used safely.

Tool Rest and Eye Shield  
The tool rest supports the workpiece during grinding.  
Certain types of grinding may require jigs or accessories  
to assure the proper angle of the work piece against the  
wheel.  
The eye shield must be positioned between the grind-  
ing wheel and your face during grinding. The eye shield  
is NOT a substitute for safety glasses or a safety face  
shield. You must wear ANSI approved face and eye pro-  
tection.  
Using the hardware from the Inventory list on Page 7;  
assemble the tool rest and eye shield as they are shown  
in Figure 5.  
Figure 5. Tool rest and eye shield  
assembly.  
Grinding Wheel  
Installation  
Before installing the included grinding wheels, check  
them for integrity by performing a “ring test.” Hang on a  
string, then lightly tap the rim of the wheel with a piece  
of wood such as the handle of a hammer. The wheel  
should have a ringing or harmonic type of sound. If the  
wheel responds with a dull thud it may indicate that the  
wheel has cracks. Do not use a wheel which is suspected  
of having cracks, or if there are visual chips, nicks or  
dents in the wheel surface. These discontinuities can  
lead to wheel failure causing the wheel to fly apart at  
operating speed.  
NEVER assemble a grinding wheel on  
the arbor without paper or fiber discs  
between the wheel and the flange.  
Omitting the discs can put undue stress  
on the wheel causing it to crack and  
possibly fly apart. ALWAYS “ring test” a  
wheel before assembly to make certain  
it is sound with no cracks or flaws.  
Always be sure to use a wheel that is rated for operating  
at speeds equal to or greater than 3450 RPM. Install the  
grinding wheel, paper disk, wheel flange, and nut in the  
order shown in Figure 6, and then attach the side cover.  
Note: The arbor shaft and nut on the left hand side of  
the grinder is a left hand thread, so tightening it will  
require turning it counterclockwise.

M1051 6" Bench Grinder  
Test Run  
Once your machine is mounted and assembled, you should  
perform a test run to make sure it works properly.  
To perform a test run, do these steps:  
1. Make sure all tools are removed from the grinder  
area.  
2. Make sure the switch is in the OFF position.  
3. Plug the grinder into the power source.  
4. Move the switch to the ON position.  
DO NOT investigate problems or adjust  
the bench grinder while it is running.  
Wait until the machine is turned OFF,  
unplugged and the spindle has come  
to a complete stop before proceed-  
ing!  
Under normal conditions, the grinder will make a  
loud humming noise, with only minor vibration.  
If you hear or see anything unusual with the grinder,  
turn it OFF, unplug it, and troubleshoot the cause  
the problem. If you CANNOT determine the source of  
the problem, call our tech support BEFORE starting  
the machine again.

OPERATIONS  
General  
Your Model M1051 Bench Grinder will allow you to per-  
form many types of grinding and buffing operations.  
However, the following section is not a complete guide  
every possible task variation.  
We strongly recommend that you read books, trade mag-  
azines, or seek formal training before attempting any  
grinding or buffing operations in which you are not con-  
fident with. Above all, your safety should come first.  
This recommended research will pay off with increased  
safety, improved work results, and the knowledge to be  
a better metalworker.  
Operation of this equipment has the  
potential to propel debris into the air  
which can cause eye injury. Always  
wear safety glasses or goggles when  
operating a grinder. Everyday glasses or  
reading glasses are not safety glasses.  
Be certain the safety glasses you wear  
meet the appropriate standards of the  
American National Standards Institute  
(ANSI).  
Grinding Operations  
NEVER grind non ferrous metals like aluminum, brass,  
copper, bronze, and others, or the grinding wheel  
will load up, overheat, and can explode during opera-  
tion.  
DO NOT make adjustments while the  
grinder is running. Ensure that the  
switch is OFF, power is disconnected  
and moving parts have stopped before  
making adjustments. Failure to comply  
could result in serious injury or electrical  
shock hazard.  
Once assembly has been completed, your bench grinder  
is ready for use in the shop.  
When mounting a new wheel, or when there is any  
concern about wheel integrity, stand away from the line  
of rotation of the wheel and then turn the grinder ON.  
Allow the grinder operate for one minute. If there is a  
problem it will generally occur when the grinder is first  
started. If the grinding wheel is OK, rest the workpiece  
on the tool rest and ease the workpiece into the grinding  
wheel. Begin grinding without holding the workpiece in  
one spot.

Wheel Selection  
Aluminum oxide and silicon carbide wheels are  
marked in a somewhat uniform manner by all the  
major manufacturers. Understanding these markings  
will help you understand the capabilities of various  
wheels. Always refer to the manufacturer’s grinding  
recommendations when selecting a wheel for your  
project.  
DO NOT use this grinder with a liquid  
cooling system required for wet grind-  
ing wheel operations. Ignoring this  
warning can lead to electrocution.  
The basic format for wheel numbering is:  
Prefix  
Type  
36  
Abrasive  
Size  
Grit  
Type  
60  
Grade  
L
Bond  
V
A
The most common abrasive types used are A for  
Aluminum Oxide and C for Silicon Carbide, and  
occasionally SG for seeded gel. The prefix is the  
manufacturer’s designation for a particular type.  
The grit size is a number referring to the size of the  
abrasive grain in the wheel. The lower the number  
the coarser the wheel—10 is a very coarse wheel for  
roughing and 220 is usually the upper range for fine  
finish work.  
Grade is an indication of the hardness of the wheel, with  
A being softest to Z the hardest.  
Bond Type refers to the type of bonding material used to  
hold the abrasive material. Most general purpose wheels  
will have a V indicating Vitrified clay is used, providing a  
high strength and good porosity. The other most common  
is B for resin where synthetic resins are used. These are  
used to grind cemented carbide and ceramic materials.  
There may be other numbers inserted that have  
meaning for a particular type of wheel. Refer to  
the manufacturer’s technical data for a complete  
explanation.

Changing Grinding  
Wheels  
Before installing any grinding wheel, check it for  
integrity by performing a “ring test.” Hang on a string,  
then lightly tap the rim of the wheel with a piece of  
wood such as the handle of a hammer. The wheel should  
have a ringing or harmonic type of sound. If the wheel  
responds with a dull thud it may indicate that the wheel  
has cracks. Do not use a wheel which is suspected of  
having cracks, or if there are visual chips, nicks or dents  
in the wheel surface. These discontinuities can lead to  
wheel failure causing the wheel to fly apart at operating  
speed.  
Do not use a wheel that is is suspected of having cracks,  
or if there are visual chips, nicks or dents in the wheel  
surface. These discontinuities can lead to wheel failure  
where the wheel flies apart at operating speed. Always  
be sure to use a wheel which is rated for operating at  
speeds equal to or greater than 3450 RPM.  
Figure 7. Grinding wheel access.  
To change a grinding wheel, do these step:  
1. DISCONNECT THE GRINDER FROM POWER!  
2. Disassemble grinder to the level shown in Figure 7.  
3. Use a 34" or 19mm open end wrench on the nut  
which holds the wheel on the arbor. Hold the wheel  
from turning with the other hand.  
Note: The arbor shaft and nut on the left hand side  
of the grinder is a left hand thread, so loosening it  
will require turning it clockwise.  
Figure 8. Grinding wheel arrangement.  
4. Install the new wheel in the order shown in Figure  
8. and tighten the arbor nut snugly, but do not over  
tighten or you will crack the wheel.  
NEVER assemble a grinding wheel on  
the arbor without paper or fiber discs  
between the wheel and the flange.  
Omitting the discs can put uneven  
stress on the wheel causing it to crack  
and possibly fly apart. ALWAYS “ring  
test” a wheel before assembly to make  
certain it has no cracks or flaws.  
5. Run a new wheel for at least 1-2 minutes while  
standing clear of the line of rotation. If a wheel  
does have defects it will generally fail as soon as it  
gets up to full speed.

MAINTENANCE  
General  
Check for the following conditions and repair or  
replace when necessary:  
Loose mounting bolts.  
Worn switch.  
Worn or damaged cords and plugs.  
Cracked or loose grinding wheel.  
Any other condition that could hamper the safe  
operation of this machine.  
MAKE SURE that your machine is  
unplugged during all maintenance pro-  
cedures! If this warning is ignored, seri-  
ous personal injury may occur.  
Lubrication & Cleaning  
This grinder has sealed bearings that require no user  
lubrication.  
The grinding wheel should be inspected before every  
use. Use the ring test method noted in the Grinding  
Wheel section in Changing Grinding Wheels on Page 13  
to verify the structural integrity. Take care in storing  
grinding wheels to keep them free from potential dam-  
age by being dropped, or having other items drop on  
them.  
Replace the wheel when the wheel diameter is reduced  
to 4". Operating at anything less than this diameter does  
not allow the proper alignment of the Tool Rest and the  
Eye Shield, and the grinding wheel may fly apart.  
Depending on the type of grinding you do, the grinding  
wheel may require periodic dressing. There are several  
different types of wheel dressing devices available on  
the market. Use a suitable diamond or silicon carbide  
stick type dresser. Sweep it smoothly and evenly several  
times across the face of the wheel. Dressing restores the  
abrasive quality of the wheel surface, plus it will bring  
the wheel edge back to a square form. Refer to the  
instructions which accompany your dressing accessory  
for complete detail on wheel dressing.
