MOUNTING DIAMOND/POLISHING WHEELS
1)
Clean the surface of the grind wheel hub where the wheel makes contact and
clean out the drain hole in the slinger.
2)
Clean the inside diameter of the wheel and lightly grease it with the lubricant
provided (NOTE: the polishing wheel does not require a lubricant).
3)
Align the mounting holes in the wheel with the tapped holes in the hub. Do
not pound on the wheel. If necessary, use a longer
¼
-20 socket head cap
screw to draw the wheel on to the hub, tightening it progressively.
4)
Install the lock washers and the socket head cap screws and tighten. Use
1”(25mm) long screws when mounting a
¼
” (6.3mm) glass wheel only. If
mounting two wheels, use longer screws.
5)
When mounting two diamond wheels, always mount the
¼
” glass wheel
first. If mounting a polishing and a grind wheel, mount the polishing wheel
first.
DIAMOND WHEEL ONLY:
Install two
¼
-20 x
½
long hex head cap screws into the two tapped holes on the
diamond wheel. These two holes are used as jack screw holes for removing the
wheel. These screws will keep residue out of the threads.
