INSTALLATION / REMOVAL OF WHEEL
See Figure 5, page 19.
WARNING:
Do not overtighten wheel bolt. Overtightening can
cause the new wheel to crack, resulting in prema-
ture failure and possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
If inner flange or inner washer has been removed,
replace both before placing wheel on spacer
and wheel arbor. Failure to do so could cause an
accident since wheel will not tighten properly.
To Install:

Unplug the cut-off machine.

Inspect the wheel for defects such as cracks, chipping,
and correct speed rating. If defects are found or the speed
rating is not greater than 3,900 rpm,
do not use. Select
another wheel.

Clean debris from the wheel arbor.

Install inner flange on arbor then place the wheel on the
arbor.

Clean outer flange then slide outer flange onto arbor until
it is flush.
ASSEMBLY

Place recessed side of outer flange against wheel, then
insert washer and wheel bolt into threaded end of wheel
arbor.
 Start threads and turn wheel bolt clockwise to snugly
tighten.

Depress the spindle lock and rotate bolt until spindle
locks, preventing shaft from rotating.
 Using the arbor wrench provided, securely tighten wheel
bolt.
NOTE: Wheel bolt has right hand threads. Turn wheel
bolt clockwise to tighten.
To Remove:

Unplug the cut-off machine.

Push down on “D” handle (machine arm) and remove
transport chain from hook on motor housing to release
machine arm.

that secures abrasive wheel to wheel arbor.

Depress the spindle lock and rotate wheel bolt until the
spindle locks, preventing shaft from rotating.

Using the arbor wrench provided, loosen and remove
wheel bolt.
NOTE: Wheel bolt has right hand threads. Turn wheel
bolt counterclockwise to loosen.
