6.  Thread the Outer Flange onto the Spindle.  Wrench 

tighten only enough so that the wheel is securely held 

on the spindle. 

WARNING:  To prevent serious injury, do 

not overtighten flange.  Overtightening can 

damage the wheel, causing wheel failure.

Installing a Threaded Accessory

TO PREVENT INJURY:  Wear heavy-duty work gloves when handling wire wheels and brushes.   

These accessories are sharp and can cause injury.

1.  The accessory MUST be:

•  rated to at least 11,000 RPM.

•  no larger than 4-1/2″ in diameter.

•  fitted with a threaded opening of 5/8″ x 11 TPI.

•  undamaged.

•  a sanding disc and backing pad, a sanding 

flap disc, a wire wheel or a wire cup 

brush (accessories not included).

2.  Press in and hold the Spindle Lock Button 

to prevent the Spindle from turning.

3.  Remove the Outer Flange and the Inner 

Flange and keep in a safe place.

4.  Thread disc accessory firmly onto the 

Spindle.  Wrench tighten onto the spindle.

Work Piece and Work Area Set Up

1.  Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit.  

The work area must not allow access by children 

or pets to prevent distraction and injury.

2.  Route the power cord along a safe route 

to reach the work area without creating a 

tripping hazard or exposing the power cord to 

possible damage.  The power cord must 

reach the work area with enough extra length 

to allow free movement while working.

3.  Secure loose work pieces using a vise or clamps 

(not included) to prevent movement while working.

4.  There must not be hazardous objects, such 

as utility lines or foreign objects, nearby that 

will present a hazard while working.

5.  You must use personal safety equipment including, 

but not limited to, ANSI-approved eye and hearing 

protection, as well as heavy-duty work gloves.

6.  Before beginning work, provide for sparks and 

debris that will fly off the work surface.

3.  Allow the tool to come up to full speed 

before touching the work material.

4.  Apply the wheel to the work material at a 10° – 15° 

angle, allowing the tool to operate at full speed. 

If the tool bogs down, use lighter pressure.

5.  To create a smoother surface, 

keep the tool moving over the work surface.
