CUTOFF WHEEL INSTALLATION
WARNING!
Use only reinforced, 6in. cutoff wheels, rated for 10,000 RPM or higher.
1. Disconnect saw from the power source.
2. Inspect the replacement wheel for defects such as cracks, chipping, and correct speed rating.
If defects are found or the speed rating is not 10,000 RPM or higher, discard the wheel and
choose another wheel that fits the proper specifications.
3. Remove any debris from the inner flange (63).
4. Position the new cutoff wheel against the inner flange.
5. Align the outer flange with the wheel arbor, then slide it onto the arbor until it rests flush against
the cutoff wheel.
6. Place the outer flange washer against the cutoff wheel.
7. Insert the hex head bolt into the threaded end of the wheel arbor and hand tighten.
8. Insert the pins of the flange wrench into the holes of the outer flange and hold the outer flange
steady.
9. Using the blade arbor wrench, firmly tighten the hex head bolt in place.
WARNING!
Do not overtighten the hex head bolt. Overtightening can cause the new wheel
to crack, resulting in premature failure and serious personal injury.
10. Swivel the outer blade guard back to its original position, making sure that the guard cover pivot
(74) slides back into the guide arm (79). (See Figure 2)
11. Align the hole in the inner blade guard cover with the
hole in the inner blade guard.
12. Insert the inner blade guard cover screw through the
inner blade guard cover, into the inner blade guard.
13. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, firmly tighten the
inner blade guard cover screw.
