bench grinder - advice please
I've never owned a bench grinder in my life, and was given one last week.
Here it is, well bolted to a workbench with 4 x 8mm bolts. I have downloaded the Clarke/Sealey instruction booklet for 6 inch grinders (it has a coarse wheel and fine one) so will adjust the tool rest and guards so that they move and fix as required. (The syringe is being used to soak the bench in water to reduce the fire hazard from sparks.)
I have goggles, gloves, and a large amount of trepidation about using it.
Can any "proper" user tell me if there is anything else I should do to make it safe to operate please ? Any pointer to a site which shows idiots how to use a grinder would be welcome.
many thanks
PS. I promise to clean the bench area before using it !
