II. SAFETY RULES FOR ALL TOOLS  
1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the  
13. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing  
owner’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s  
applications and limitations, as well as its  
particular hazards.  
and balance at all times.  
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION.  
Keep tools sharp and clean for best and  
safest performance. Follow instructions for  
lubricating and changing accessories.  
2. KEEP ALL GUARDS IN PLACE and in  
working order.  
3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If an adapter is  
used to accommodate a two-prong recepta-  
cle, the adapter plug must be attached to a  
known ground. Never remove the grounding  
prong.  
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER  
before servicing and when changing acces-  
sories.  
16. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make  
sure the switch is in the “OFF” position  
before plugging in the cord.  
4. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND  
WRENCHES. Make it a habit to check that  
keys and wrenches are removed from the  
machine before turning it on.  
17. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Do not operate  
the machine until you are certain it is in per-  
fect running condition.  
5. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered  
areas and benches invite accidents.  
18. NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING  
UNATTENDED - TURN POWER OFF. Do  
not leave the tool until it comes to a full stop.  
6. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS.  
Do not use power tools in damp or wet loca-  
tions or expose them to rain. Keep your work  
area well lighted.  
19. DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL IF USING  
DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION.

V. SITE CONSIDERATIONS  
VI. ELECTRICAL ISSUES  
1. Working Clearances: Consider existing and  
anticipated needs, size of material to be  
processed through the machine, and space  
for work tables or other machinery when  
establishing a location for your slow-speed  
grinder.  
The Model G1036 is wired for 110V, single phase  
operation; it cannot be operated on 220V. The 3/4  
H.P., 1720 R.P.M. motor draws 4.2 amps. This is  
not a large load. However, if you operate the  
grinder on a circuit that is already close to capac-  
ity, it could overload that circuit. If an unusual load  
does not exist and a power failure still occurs,  
have the circuit inspected by a qualified electri-  
cian.  
This equipment must be grounded. Please  
ensure that the slow-speed grinder is continuous-  
ly grounded from the motor to the machine frame  
and then to a known ground. Verify that any exist-  
ing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug  
into is actually grounded. If it is not, it will be nec-  
essary to run a separate 12 A.W.G. copper  
grounding wire from the outlet to a known ground.  
Under no circumstances should the grounding  
pin from any three-pronged plug be removed.  
This machine should be mounted to a stand  
or benchtop with the appropriate fasteners  
before using. Grinding can generate forces  
which might topple the machine if it is not  
securely affixed. Serious personal injury  
may occur.  
Although the larger 10" wheel is designed  
specifically for slow rotation, there is still  
the possibility that blades and tools being  
sharpened on either wheel could be dis-  
lodged from your grasp. Be sure that satis-  
factory space is allocated between the  
Slow-Speed Grinder and areas where others  
are working. ALWAYS wear safety goggles  
and keep the Eye Guard and tool rests in  
proper position when grinding or sharpen-  
ing.  
Extension Cords: If used, extension cords must  
be rated Hard Service (grade S) or better.  
Conductor size must be 14 A.W.G. for cords up to  
50 feet in length. Your extension cord must also  
contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair  
or replace extension cords if they become dam-  
aged.  
Never operate this machine without proper  
grounding. Failure to do so could result in  
serious personal injury. DO NOT remove the  
grinder’s grounding plug. If a grounded cir-  
cuit is not available, run a 12 A.W.G. copper  
wire from the machine’s motor and frame to  
a known ground.  
2. Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be  
bright enough to eliminate shadow and pre-  
vent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be  
dedicated or large enough to handle amper-  
age requirements. Outlets should be located  
near each machine so power or extension  
cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe  
local electrical codes for proper installation  
of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.  
Be sure that your particular electrical con-  
figuration complies with local and state  
codes. The best way to ensure compliance  
is to check with your local municipality or  
licensed electrician. If you are unsure of the  
quality or condition of the circuit you intend  
to use, DO NOT attempt to use the grinder  
until the circuit has been serviced.

VII. ASSEMBLY  
B. TOOL RESTS  
A. EYE SHIELD  
Attach the tool rest for the 412'' grinding stone to  
the inside wheel guard of the G1036, using the  
knob and Hex Nut supplied. Figure 2. The Hex  
Nut is placed between the knob and tool rest and  
acts as a jam nut, preventing the knob from  
vibrating loose.  
Attach the plastic eye shield to its mounting  
bracket using the 2 Phillips® Head screws and  
nuts provided, then attach the eye shield assem-  
bly to the outside wheel guard just above the cut-  
away. A knurled knob holds the eye shield in  
place. Figure 1.  
Figure 1. Knob to adjust eye shield.  
Figure 2. Knob to adjust tool rest.  
The tool rest for the 10'' stone is attached to the  
right end of the water reservoir. Bolt the tool rest  
in place using the 2 Hex Bolts, Nuts and Washers  
provided. Figure 3. The two lever-type handles  
are used to adjust the tool rest for the proper  
positioning relative to the wheel.  
The Model G1036 Slow-Speed Grinder’s Eye  
Shield is included for your protection.  
Failure to attach the Eye Shield could result  
in serious personal injury to the operator or  
others in the work area.

VIII. OPERATIONS  
A. SAFETY RULES  
B. TEST RUN  
Once the assembly is complete you are ready to  
test the machine.  
This Slow-Speed Grinder was designed and  
built for professional-quality applications.  
Using this machine without proper respect  
and caution could result in serious injury.  
Before you begin using your Slow-Speed  
Grinder, please read and follow these safety  
precautions.  
Press the START button. Make sure that your  
finger is poised on the STOP button, just in  
case there’s a problem. The slow-speed grinder  
should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or  
rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises  
should be investigated and corrected before  
operating the machine further.  
1. While operating this machine, do not wear  
jewelry, loose clothing, necklaces or neckties.  
Long sleeves on shirts should be rolled up or  
securely buttoned at the cuff.  
If noises occur that cannot be found by visual  
inspection, feel free to contact our service depart-  
ment for help.  
2. Persons with beards and/or long hair should  
consider the use of a hat, hair net or similar  
protective equipment.  
DO NOT attempt to investigate or adjust the  
machine while it is running. Wait until the  
machine is turned off, unplugged and all  
working parts have come to a rest before  
you do anything! Failure to do so could  
result in serious operator injury!  
3. Always use face/eye protection when operat-  
ing the slow-speed grinder. A full face shield  
will afford the best protection followed by  
safety glasses with side shields.  
4. All adjustments or maintenance should be  
done with the power off and the slow-speed  
grinder unplugged.  
Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses  
or goggles when operating equipment —  
particularly when testing new tools or  
machinery. Do not allow visitors into your  
workshop when testing or operating equip-  
ment. Serious injury could occur if safety  
guidelines are not followed.  
5. Thoroughly clean the machine and surround-  
ing area after use.  
6. If you have questions about your slow-speed  
grinder, ask a professional or an experienced  
user.  
7. The workpiece must be held securely in  
place.  
8. Perform routine maintenance inspection and  
service.  
Remember that every shop has its own specific  
hazards. Be sure, above all else, to use good  
common sense and reasonable caution each  
time you start this grinder, or any machinery.  
Develop a habit of safety.

VIII. OPERATIONS (Continued)  
Fill the tank reservoir up to approximately 80%  
full when wet grinding. Do not leave the 10" wheel  
immersed in water for long periods of time if the  
grinder is not in use. See Water Reservoir section  
under the Maintenance heading.  
C. GRINDING  
The 41/2" aluminum oxide wheel offers a 100-grit  
surface for general grinding operations. The 41/2  
wheel turns at 3450 RPM, making it possible to  
remove relatively large amounts of material.  
"
The large stone features a fully adjustable tool  
table which allows you to customize your grinding  
angle to fit your specific needs. Loosen the lock  
handles and position the table to match the bevel  
of the tool you are sharpening. Figure 5.  
The smaller wheel is capable of generating  
enough heat to ruin the temper of metal and  
make it brittle. Care should be taken to grind  
in short, light strokes. Prolonged contact  
between the wheel and your workpiece  
should be avoided. Dip the workpiece in  
water frequently to keep it cool as you grind  
it.  
An adjustable angle gauge on the tool table  
allows you to match the cutting of compound  
bevels, such as those on skew chisels, with the  
10" stone. Loosen the knob and turn the angle  
gauge to match your compound bevel. Once the  
gauge matches the desired angle, tighten the  
knob.  
The 41/2" wheel is best used to shape the cutting  
edges of your tools. Use the 41/2" wheel to  
remove nicks and square edges before fine hon-  
ing on the larger stone.  
Figure 5. Proper sharpening position.  
Figure 4. Proper grinding positioning.  
Do not make adjustments while the machine  
is running. Turn off the machine and allow  
all moving parts to come to a complete stop  
before attempting to make adjustments to  
the eye shield or either of the tool rests.  
Serious personal injury could occur.  
D. SHARPENING  
The 10" 220-grit aluminum oxide wheel is used  
for creating a finished edge on your tool’s cutting  
surface. The wheel turns at 70 RPM, allowing you  
to hone fine edges on your tools without over-  
heating. The wheel sits in a water bath, which  
cools, cleans and lubricates as the wheel turns.

IX. MAINTENANCE  
B. OIL FEEDER  
A. GENERAL  
Apply a light machine oil to the oil feeder after  
every six hours of operation. Figure 6.  
Make a habit of inspecting your Slow-Speed  
Grinder each time you use it. Check for the fol-  
lowing conditions and repair or replace when nec-  
essary.  
1. Loose bolts.  
2. Worn switch.  
3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.  
4. Any other condition that could hamper the  
safe operation of this machine.  
To ensure the safest and most satisfactory  
work results, it is important that you devel-  
op a habit of inspecting your Model G1036  
Slow-Speed Grinder each time you use it.  
Figure 6. Oil Feeder check ball.  
Regular inspection of wheel bearing condi-  
tion, wheel condition, electrical cords,  
switches, bolt tightness, and other essential  
components of fitness will provide your  
grinder with the longest possible working  
life.  
DO NOT make inspections or adjustments  
while the Slow-Speed Grinder is running.  
Ensure that the switch is off, power is dis-  
connected and moving parts have stopped  
before making adjustments. Failure to do so  
could result in serious injury.  
Failure to maintain a regular maintenance  
routine could result in machine failure, poor  
grinding and sharpening results and possi-  
ble operator injury.

IX. MAINTENANCE (Continued)  
in the reservoir once a week to avoid clogging the  
aluminum oxide wheel. A drain plug at the bottom  
of the reservoir can be removed to flush out the  
reservoir and remove sediment. Figure 8.  
C. GEAR BOX  
The gear box contains the worm-and-pinion gear  
that transmits power to both the 41/2" and 10"  
wheels. The gears should be lubricated with a  
light gear grease after every 300 hours of use.  
Inspect the gears for wear or damage during  
each lubrication. To lubricate:  
1. Remove gearbox cover. Figure 7.  
2. Apply a light coating of grease to the gears.  
3. Re-attach cover.  
Drain  
Figure 8. Drain plug on reservoir.  
DO NOT attempt to use the 10" grinding  
wheel without filling the reservoir with  
water. Overheating caused by lack of lubri-  
cation could damage the grinding wheel, as  
well as the tool or blade you are grinding.  
Ensure that the reservoir is filled with clean  
water. Sediment-filled water can clog the  
wheel and lessen the grinder’s ability to  
work effectively.  
Figure 7. Gear Box cover removed.  
The motor of the Slow-Speed Grinder oper-  
ates at high speeds. DO NOT attempt to  
inspect or lubricate the gears while the  
machine is running. Turn off the machine  
and disconnect it from its power source  
before servicing. Failure to do so could  
result in serious personal injury.  
DO NOT allow the grinding wheel to stay  
immersed in water for long periods of time  
without running. The water can cause the  
wheel to become waterlogged and unbal-  
anced and may cause sections of the wheel  
to break off when the wheel is started.  
Always drain the reservoir when the grinder  
will not be used. Serious personal injury  
may occur.  
D. WATER RESERVOIR  
A constant supply of water is essential for opti-  
mum 10" wheel performance. Change the water
