PLATE REMOVAL
Unplug machine from power source. Tilt machine back. Hold disk with one hand. Loosen with the other
hand using the proper size wrench. Remove mounting bolt and slide plate off.
SHROUD
You will notice the shroud will suck down to the floor when the vacuum is on. This helps with dust control.
Do not operate the machine without a shroud. Do not operate the machine without being connected to a
proper vacuum. If the shroud suction is too much, reduce vac size. If using a twin motor vacuum, turn
one motor off. Extending the vac hose length reduces suction. Additional vent holes can be added to the
shroud but a more powerful vacuum may need to be used.
COMPARING 7'' & 10'' SHROUDS AND PLATES (Figure 6-8)
A 7'' plate and shroud will run with a higher torque than a 10''. The 10'' plate will cover a larger area than
the 7''.
