Loosen the nut holding the
grinding wheel to the shaft.
Carefully remove the nut,
the plate flange and the
soft washer that is
clamping the grindstone in
place. (See figs 8 &9)
Then, very carefully
remove the grindstone
from the shaft, take care
that no damage or
distortion is done to the
bush (if one is fitted). (See
fig 10) Now is a good time
to clean out the interior of
the wheel guard, removing
any loose or compacted
material that may have accumulated. Carefully inspect the new grinding wheel before it is
fitted, check that there are no cracks, and there is no damage to either the front face or the
edges. If required, fit the bush to the grindstone. Carefully mount the grindstone onto the
shaft, reposition the soft washer and the wheel flange, replace the holding nut and tighten
carefully. Do Not Overtighten. Refit the outside shell of the wheel guard and secure with its
nuts and bolts. Refit the tool rest, positioning as in "Setting up the grinder". Fasten securely
Ensure that the grinder is disconnected from the mains supply.
Undo the nuts and bolts that secure the outer shell of the wheel guard to the inner
shell. Remove the outer shell and place it and the nuts, bolts and washers
carefully aside. (See fig 6)
WARNING!!
!
Be very careful that the stone cover does not 'spring' out of its location lip
on the inner cover, it can spring out with some force. (See fig 7)
