GRINDING AND CUT-OFF WHEELS
Your grinder is designed to accept only 115 mm or 4-1/2" diameter abrasive
discs with a 7/8" bore.
Check to ensure that any discs you use on this machine are rated for the 11,000-
rpm operating speed of your grinder.
Check also for any damage to an abrasive disc before you install it. Any disc
that shows a crack, has been dropped, or subjected to other damage due to
temperature extremes or solvents should be discarded. A damaged disc can fly
apart in use and may cause serious injury to the operator or bystanders.
INSTALLING A GRINDING WHEEL OR CUTTING DISC
WARNING
- Be sure the tool is unplugged.
Turn the tool upside down.
Place the inner flange (
K, fig.IV
) over the spindle so that the two raised portions
tangental to the center hole (
d, fig.IV)
mate with the flats on the shaft (
e, fig.IV
).
The fit should be tight and the inner flange should now turn with the shaft.
Fit the grinding or cutting disc on top of the inner flange, ensuring the bore fits
over the 7/8" raised boss on the inner flange.
Screw the disc retaining outer flange nut (
f, fig.V)
down over the disc.
Depending on the disc thickness, the boss (
g, fig.V)
on the outer flange nut can
face down or up. Normally, it should go down into the 7/8” bore on the abrasive
disc. Very thin cutting discs may require that the boss face away from the disc
so that the flange nut and the inner flange will securely clamp the disc between
them.
Fit the two prongs of the wrench (
h, fig.VI)
into the holes in the outer flange nut
(
f, fig.V & VI)
.
Depress the spindle lock button (
C, fig.I)
firmly and ensure the spindle does not
turn.
While the spindle lock button is depressed, tighten the flange nut, turning it
clockwise with the wrench.
Turn the wheel by hand, checking for any obstruction to its free movement.
