- Verify Stability: Before connecting power or beginning work, gently test the stability of the installed tool rest to confirm it is rigidly attached.
5. Operating Instructions
- Adjust Position: Loosen the mounting bolts slightly to adjust the tool rest's position as needed for your workpiece. Ensure it is close enough to the grinding wheel or abrasive surface without making contact. Retighten bolts firmly after adjustment.
