Additional Safety Instructions for Grinders
1. EYE PROTECTION. Grinding causes small
particles to become airborne at a high rate
of speed. ALWAYS wear safety glasses
when using this machine.
7. LUNG PROTECTION. Grinding produces
hazardous dust, which may cause long-
term respiratory problems if inhaled. Always
wear a NIOSH approved dust mask or res-
pirator when grinding.
2. MOUNTING TO BENCH/STAND. An unse-
cured grinder may become dangerously
out of control during operation. Make sure
grinder is FIRMLY secured to a bench/
stand before use.
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.
3. WHEEL SPEED RATING. Wheels oper-
ated 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 to or higher than the speed of the
grinder.
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 wear-
ing gloves as they may get caught in the
grinding wheel and cause even more seri-
ous entanglement injuries.
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 grind-
ing 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.
11. TOOL REST POSITION. If the tool rest is
too far away from the wheel, the workpiece
may be pulled down, causing loss of con-
trol and pulling your hand into the grinding
wheel. Keep the tool rest within 1⁄8" from the
wheel when operating.
6. STARTING GRINDER. If a wheel IS dam-
aged, 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.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to do so could result in serious per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.
Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to lessen the pos-
sibility of operator injury. If normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.

Site Considerations
Mounting
The Model H8126 must be mounted to a work-
bench to avoid accidental tipping. If you intend to
use the 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, then clamp the plywood base to the work-
bench or table.
Bench Load
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight
and footprint specifications of your machine.
Some workbenches may require additional rein-
forcement to support both the machine and the
workpiece.
To mount the grinder:
Placement Location
Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of
material to be processed through each machine,
and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or
other machinery when establishing a location for
your new machine. See Figure 5 for the minimum
working clearances.
1. Once you have confirmed that your grinder
is running properly, mount it to a workbench
through the holes in the base using the
dimensions in Figure 6. DO NOT overtighten
the mounting bolts or you will crack the
base.

Children and visitors may be
seriously injured if unsuper-
vised. Lock all entrances to
the shop when you are away.
DO NOT allow unsupervised
children or visitors in your
shop at any time!

The strongest mounting option is a "Through
Mount" where holes are drilled all the way through
the workbench, and hex bolts, washers, and hex
nuts are used to secure the grinder to the work-
bench.
Tool Rest and Eye
Shield
The tool rest supports the workpiece during
grinding. Jigs or accessories may be attached to
the tool rest to grind the workpiece at complex
angles.
����
The eye shield must be installed and positioned
between the grinding 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 protection.

SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
Operation Safety
Grinding Tips
The grinder is a safe tool when used properly. In
addition to the safety instructions in this manual,
the most important safety consideration is to use
common sense at all times. What may be okay in
one situation, can be dangerous in another.
Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears could
result from using this machine without
proper protective gear. Always wear safety
glasses, a respirator, and hearing protection
when operating this machine.
Here are some tips to keep in mind while
grinding:
•
•
Make sure all guards are in place.
Remember that grinding often produces
sparks. DO NOT allow anyone to stand in
the path of the sparks.
•
•
DO NOT grind near flammable materials.
Loose hair and cloth-
ing could get caught in
machinery and cause seri-
ous personal injury. Keep
loose clothing and long
hair away from moving
machinery.
Maintain proper care of your wheels. Read
the Wheel Care instructions on Page 16 for
ideas on how to do this.
•
•
Wear the proper protective clothing. Particles
flying off of a grinding wheel will be travel-
ing very fast—prepare for this. Wear safety
glasses/face shield, a dust mask, earplugs,
a leather apron, and heavy leather boots.
Grasp the workpiece firmly and properly
support it on the tool rest during grinding.
Maintain even pressure and control of the
workpiece when grinding.
DO NOT use this grinder with a liquid cool-
ing system required for wet grinding wheel
operations. The electrical system is not
waterproof. Ignoring this warning can lead
to electrocution.
•
•
Concentrate on the task at hand. STOP
grinding if other people are distracting you or
your mind is on something else.
NOTICE
DO NOT grind on the side of the wheel. The
wheels provided with the Model H8126 are
not designed for side grinding.
If you have never used this type of machine
or equipment before, WE STRONGLY REC-
OMMEND that you read books, trade maga-
zines, or get formal training before begin-
ning any projects. Regardless of the con-
tent in this section, Grizzly Industrial will
not be held liable for accidents caused by
lack of training.

Wheel Care
Wheel Selection
Your safety when grinding depends, in large part,
on the condition of the wheel. A wheel in poor
condition may break apart during rotation, injuring
the operator and damaging property.
The Model H8126 only accepts Type 1 wheels
with a 1⁄2" bore.
Aluminum oxide and silicon carbide wheels are
marked in a somewhat uniform manner by all
major manufacturers. Understanding these mark-
ings will help you understand the capabilities of
various wheels. Always refer to the manufactur-
er’s grinding recommendations when selecting a
wheel for your project.
Here are some tips to help you avoid breaking
the wheel:
•
Always transport, store and handle wheels
with care. Wheels may be damaged if they
are dropped or if heavy objects are stacked
on them.
The basic format for wheel numbering is:
•
•
•
Select the right grinding wheel for the job.
DO NOT grind material inappropriate for the
wheel type.
Abrasive
Type
Bond
Type
Prefix
1
Grit Size Grade
60
A
L
V
Select the right wheel for the machine. If a
grinding wheel rotates faster than its RPM
rating, it may fly apart.
The Prefix is the manufacturer’s designation for a
particular wheel type (eg, Type 1 wheels).
Mount wheels properly. (See the Wheel
Replacement instructions on Page 17 for
guidance.) Never use a wheel with the wrong
arbor size for the grinder.
The most common Abrasive Types used are 'A'
for Aluminum Oxide, 'C' for Silicon Carbide, and
occasionally 'SG' for Seeded Gel.
The Grit Size is a number that refers to the size
of the abrasive grain in the wheel. The lower the
number, the coarser the wheel. Ten is a very
coarse wheel for roughing and 220 is usually the
upper range for fine finish work.
•
•
Do not abuse the wheel by jamming the work
into the grinding wheel with excessive force.
Learn how to use the grinder and the grind-
ing wheels properly. Ask a trusted person
with experience or consult with your local
library to learn more.
Grade is an indication of the hardness of the
wheel—'A' being the softest and 'Z' being the
hardest.
•
•
•
Do not store wheels in damp or wet loca-
tions.
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. Vitrified Clay provides high strength
and good porosity. The other common bond type
is 'B' for resin where synthetic resins are used.
These are used to grind cemented carbide and
ceramic materials.
Grinding on the side of the wheel may cause
wheel damage.
Replace wheels when the diameter becomes
2" smaller than its original size.
Note: There may be other numbers inserted that
have meaning for a particular type of wheel. Refer
to the manufacturer’s technical data for a com-
plete explanation.

4. An undamaged wheel will emit a clear metal-
lic ring or “ping” sound in each of these spots.
A damaged wheel will respond with a dull
thud that has no clear tone.
Wheel Inspection
Do not assume that a wheel is in sound condition
just because it is new—often damage can occur
in shipping, with age, or with exposure to mois-
ture. Inspect every wheel for damage.
5. If you determine from the ring test that the
wheel is damaged, DO NOT use it!
First, do a Visual Inspection. Look for any
cracks, chips, nicks or dents in the surface of the
wheel. If you see any of these, DO NOT use the
wheel.
Wheel Dressing
Depending on the type of grinding you do, the
grinding wheel may require periodic dressing.
Second, do a Ring Test, by following Steps 1-5
below. This test will give you an indication of any
internal damage that may not be obvious during
a visual inspection.
Several different kinds of wheel dressing devices
are available (see Page 19). Dressing restores
the abrasive quality of the wheel surface and
squares up the wheel edge.
Always be sure to use a wheel that is rated for
3450 RPM or greater.
Refer to the instructions that accompany your
dressing accessory for complete details on how
to properly dress a wheel.
To perform a Ring Test:
1. Make sure the wheel that you test is clean and
dry; otherwise, you may get false results.
Wheel Replacement
2. If size permits, balance the wheel with your
finger in the hole. If this is not possible, hang
the wheel in the air with a piece of cord or
string looped through the hole in the center.
The wheel guard assembly must be removed in
order to mount or dismount a grinding wheel.
3. At the spots shown in Figure 11, gently tap
the wheel with a light non-metallic device
such as the handle of a screwdriver or a
wooden mallet.
To replace a grinding wheel:
1. DISCONNECT THE GRINDER FROM
POWER!
2. Remove the three Phillips head screws and
nuts that go through the outer guard, and
remove the outer guard.

the arbor nut that secures the wheel.

Note: The arbor shaft and nut on the left
side of the grinder (as you face front) has
left hand threads; to loosen this nut, turn it
clockwise.

4. Remove the outer wheel flange and the
paper disc. Pull the wheel free from the arbor,
but leave the paper disc and a wheel flange
on the other side of 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.

installation.
5. Mount the new wheel as shown in Figure
12. Always make certain there is a paper or
fiber disc between the wheel flanges and the
wheel itself. Tighten the arbor nut snugly but
DO NOT over-tighten. Over-tightening can
crack the wheel.
6. Run a new wheel for at least one minute
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.
