TILE CUTTING WHEEL

For maximum performance and safety, it is recommended 
that  you  use  the  10  in.  cutting  wheel  provided  with  your 
saw. Additional cutting wheels of the same high quality are 
 available at your local dealer.

 

WARNING:

Do not use cutting wheels rated less than the no 
load speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning 
could result in personal injury. Do not use wheel 
with cracks, gaps, or teeth.

 

WARNING:

To  prevent  possible  electrical  hazards,  have  a 
qualified electrician check the line if you are not 
certain that it is properly wired.

INSTALLING TILE CUTTING WHEEL 

See Figures 23 - 24.

 

WARNING:

A 10 in. tile cutting wheel is the maximum wheel 

capacity of the saw. Never use a wheel that is too 

thick  to  allow  wheel  washer  to  engage  with  the 

flats  on  the  spindle.  Larger  wheels  will  come  in 

contact with the wheel guard, while thicker wheels 

will prevent the wheel nut from securing the wheel 

on  the  spindle.  Either  of  these  situations  could 

result in a serious accident and can cause serious 
personal injury.

  Unplug the saw.

  Turn the wheel guard lock counterclockwise to unlock.

  Pull the wheel guard open to expose the spindle. 

  Depress and hold the spindle lock.

  Using the wheel wrench provided, remove the wheel nut. 

Release the spindle lock button.

  NOTE: Remove the wing nut to release the wheel wrench 

from storage.

  Remove the outer washer.

  Slide the cutting wheel onto spindle.

 

WARNING:

If the washer has been removed, replace it before 
placing wheel on spindle. Failure to do so could 
cause an accident since the wheel will not tighten 
properly.  Never  use  wheels  that  have  openings, 
grooves, or teeth on this tool.
