DANGER:
Use ONLY Type 27 depressed center
wheels (such as the one provided with this product).
NEVER attach a Type 1 straight or cut-off wheel
to this angle grinder. Use for any other purpose is
not recommended and creates a hazard, which will
result in serious injury.
DANGER:
Never attach a wood cutting or
carving blade of any type to this grinder. It is only

WARNING:
Thoroughly inspect a new grinding
wheel before you install it on the grinder.
• Tap lightly around the wheel using a wooden
hammer.
• Listen carefully to the resulting sounds. Places
with fissures or cracks will result in a different
sound.
Do not use a wheel containing fissures or cracks.
When you install a new grinding wheel, carry out a
no load revolution test of approximately one minute
with the grinding wheel facing a safe direction, i.e.,
away from people or objects.
Depress the spindle lock button and rotate the clamp
nut until the spindle locks.
NOTE:
To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle
lock, always allow motor to come to a complete stop
before engaging spindle lock.
Loosen and remove the clamp nut
from the spindle. Do
not remove the disc flange.
Make sure the flats on the bottom of the disc flange are
engaged with the flats on the spindle.
Place the grinding wheel over the spindle.
Thread the clamp nut
on the spindle with the flat side
of the nut facing up.
Fit the raised, small diameter portion of the clamp nut
into the hole in the wheel and finger tighten.
WARNING:
Always install a grinding wheel with
the depressed center against the disc flange. Failure
to do so will cause the grinding wheel to crack when
tightening the clamp nut. This could result in serious
personal injury because of loose particles breaking
off and being thrown from the grinder. Do not over-
tighten.
Depress the spindle lock button and rotate the wheel
clockwise until the spindle locks in position.
