Depressed centre Type 27 grinding wheels must be
used with included flanges. Refer to
Accessory Chart
for
more information.
1. Install the backing flange
5
on spindle
4
with the raised
section (pilot) against the wheel. Be sure the backing flange
recess is seated onto the flats of the spindle by pushing and
twisting the flange before placing wheel.
2. Place wheel
17
against the backing flange, centring the
wheel on the raised section (pilot) of the backing flange.
3. While depressing the spindle lock button, thread the locking
flange
5
on spindle. If the wheel you are installing is more
than 3.31 mm thick, place the locking flange on the spindle
so that the raised section (pilot) fits into the centre of the
wheel. If the wheel you are installing is 3.31 mm thick or
less, place the locking flange on the spindle so that the
raised section (pilot) is not against the wheel.
4. While depressing the spindle lock button, tighten the
locking flange
6
by hand or using the wrench supplied.
(Only use a locking flange if it is in perfect condition.) Refer
to
Accessory Chart
to see flange details.
5. To remove the wheel, depress the spindle lock button and
loosen the locking flange with a wrench.

nOTE:
If the wheel spins after the locking flange is tightened,
check the orientation of the locking flange. If a thin wheel is
installed with the pilot on the locking flange toward the wheel,
it will spin because the height of the pilot prevents the locking
flange from holding the wheel.
Mounting Sanding Backing Pads (Fig. A, F)
nOTE:
Use of a guard with sanding discs that use backing pads,
often called fiber resin discs, is not required. Since a guard is
not required for these accessories, the guard may or may not fit
correctly if used.
WARNING:
Failure to properly seat the flange/ clamp nut/
wheel could result in serious injury (or damage to the tool
or wheel).
WARNING:
Proper guard must be reinstalled for grinding
wheel, cutting wheel, sanding flap disc, wire brush or
wire wheel applications after sanding applications
are complete.
1. Place or appropriately thread backing pad
18
on
the spindle.
2. Place the sanding disc
19
on the backing pad
18
.
3. While depressing the spindle lock button
3
, thread the
clamp nut
20
on the spindle, piloting the raised hub on the
clamp nut into the centre of san ding disc and backing pad.
4. Tighten the clamp nut by hand. Then depress the spindle
lock button while turning the sanding disc until the sanding
disc and clamp nut are snug.
5. To remove the wheel, grasp and turn the backing pad and
sanding pad while depressing the spindle lock button.
Mounting Wire Cup Brushes and
Wire Wheels (Fig. A)
WARNING:
Failure to properly seat the flange/ clamp nut/
wheel could result in serious injury (or damage to the tool
or wheel).
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury,
wear work gloves when handling wire brushes and
wheels.
They can become sharp.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the tool,
wheel or brush must not touch guard when mounted
or while in use.
Undetectable damage could occur to
the accessory, causing wires to fragment from accessory
wheel or cup.
Wire cup brushes or wire wheels install directly on the threaded
spindle without the use of flanges. Use only wire brushes or
wheels provided with a threaded hub. These accessories are
available at extra cost from your local dealer or authorised
service centre.
1. Place the tool on a table, guard up.
2. Thread the wheel on the spindle by hand.
3. Depress the spindle lock button
3
and use a wrench on the
hub of the wire wheel or brush to tighten the wheel.
4. To remove the wheel, reverse the above procedure.
NOTICE:
To reduce the risk of damage to the tool, properly
seat the wheel hub before turning the tool on.
Prior to Operation
• Install the guard and appropriate disc or wheel. Do not use
excessively worn discs or wheels.
• Be sure the backing and locking flange are mounted
correctly. Follow the instructions given in the
Accessory Chart
.
• Make sure the disc or wheel rotates in the direction of the
arrows on the accessory and the tool.
• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect
the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks,
backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for
loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped,
inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After
inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory
and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one
minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart
during this test time.
