here are some tips for using your wet
grinder water reservoir:
• Check the water level before every use
and be sure the wheel is wet before
you begin grinding. do not use the
grinder without water.
• leaving the grinding wheel stored in
water will cause damage to the wheel
and create potential hazards because
the wheel will become unbalanced.
drain or remove the reservoir when not
in use.
• empty, rinse, and refill the reservoir
regularly. this prevents metal and
stone from accumulating in the reser-
voir.
• place a magnet in the reservoir to catch
and collect metal filings. this will help
prevent excessive metal accumulation
on the grinding wheel.
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 unbalanced and
may cause sections of the wheel
to break off when the grinder is
started. always empty or remove the
reservoir when the grinder will not
be used.

the Model t10097 Wet grinder is designed

do not attempt to use the grinding
wheel without filling the reservoir
with water. overheating caused by
lack of lubrication 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 decrease the
effectiveness of the grinder.
NOTICE
to fill and position the reservoir:
1. Make sure the grinder is disconnected
from power and that the grinding wheel
is not rotating.
2. remove reservoir, clean it out, and fill
with water to just below the v-shaped
notch.
3. attach the reservoir to the grinder.
