INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE GRINDING WHEEL
TO INSTALL A WHEEL (
fig 3 and 4)
1. Disconnect the plug from the electrical
outlet. Make sure the proper guard is
securely in place.
2. While pressing the spindle-lock
button, loosen the lock nut by turning
it counter-clockwise with the wrench
supplied.

is properly seated on the spindle. It will
click into place on the spindle and will

the rated speed on the grinding wheel.
Do not use a wheel with a rated speed lower than the speed shown on the
grinder’s nameplate.
