Cutting Area
The area inside the stainless steel shroud and directly beneath the gear deck is the cutting area.
This is the area in which the tools turn to produce the grinding action. It is also the area that keeps
the dust from grinding contained and subsequently evacuated through the dust collection ports.
3.10 Couplers & Tool Plates
The grinder is outfitted with couplers and tool plates. The couplers attach to the tool plates and
provide flex for smooth operation of the diamond tools. The tool plate holds the tools in place for
the grinding application.
3.11 Tool Change
1. In order to change the tools, the operator must first
ensure that the grinder is switched off and the power
plug is disconnected from electrical source.

"back" position.
3. Set the handle into the upper "tool change" position by
pulling & twisting knobs on both sides of the handle joint.
4. Push machine down by handle in a controlled manner
until grinder is resting on the floor.
5. Inside the gear box, tap the tools from the outside edge
of the tool to remove from tool plate.
6. Remove all debris from tools and tool plate. Tools must lay flat against tool plate in order to
work properly.
7. Install new tools by sliding the tooling outward to fit into slot securely.
Machine must only be tilted back on firm, level surface. There is danger of machine
falling if weights are not used and surface is not level.
