Glass grinder - set up and use instructions

Glass grinder - set up and use instructions

Instructions on how to SET UP and USE the GRINDER  -  STEPS TO FOLLOW        
1        Remove the EYE SHIELD and set to the side.
2        Remove the SPONGE and set it to the side.
3        Lift the GRID and set it to the side.
4        Add COLD WATER to the pan to a LEVEL of just below the DIVOT at the back of the water pan.
5        If there is a lot of glass sludge- REMOVE THE SLUDGE with a spoon and put it in the garbage.
6        NEVER REMOVE THE GLASS SLUDGE/DUST IN DRY FORM - WET IT.
7        Re-Add WATER to a LEVEL of just below the DIVOT at the back of the pan.
8        Put the GRID back onto the grinder water pan.
9        Squeeze out the SPONGE into water and put it back into place.
10        Put the EYE SHIELD back onto the grinder.
11        Clean the EYE SHIELD so you can see through it.
12        Any time - while grinding if you see white being slung onto
the glass then it is time to clean out your sponge.
THE SPONGE FILLS WITH GLASS DUST AND THEN CANNOT WICK WATER ONTO THE GRINDER HEAD,
SO BE SURE TO CLEAN IT OUT EVER SO OFTEN AS YOU ARE GRINDING.
A GRINDER THAT DOES NOT HAVE WATER OR A CLEAN SPONGE WILL RUIN THE GRINDER HEAD!
13        Adjust the height of your grinder head so that it will be using an area that has grit on it.
I get four positions of use out of mine by moving it to the lower area of use then when that is used up then I move
it up to the new position and so on.
