Cutting discs used with this machine must be of an adequate speed
rating and suitable for the task in hand. (See specification). Only persons qualified
under the “Abrasive Wheels Regulations” and holding a current grinding wheel
certificate are to change cutting discs.
5.1.1 Before using a cutting disc ensure that there are no fissures or cracks in it. Once
mounted on the saw, test the disc before use by facing the saw in a safe direction
(turned away from yourself, others and vulnerable items) and run it for a short time.

REMOVING aND INSTaLLING CUTTING DISCS
5.2.1 Release the arm as described in 4.1.1. (Remember to hold the arm as it rises).
5.2.2 Identify the spring loaded guard catch as shown in Fig.8.
5.2.3 Manually open the moving disc guard and hold it in the open position whilst
moving the spring loaded catch to the right. Rotate
the abrasive disc until you can see a hole in the
inner mounting flange. Align this hole with the
sprung guard catch and slide the catch over until it
is fully inserted into the hole. (See Fig.8). Keep
finger pressure on the catch and slowly lower the
guard until it rests on the catch pin. Let go of the
guard before letting go of the catch.
5.2.4 Loosen the two fixing bolts as shown in Fig.9. The
access cover is held under the bolts by a keyhole
arrangement. Slide the cover towards the centre of
the wheel and lift it off to reveal the wheel fixing.
5.2.5 Using the 8mm Hex key provided remove the disc
fixing bolt, the clamping washer and the front
mounting flange as shown in Fig.10. Finally remove
the disc from the boss.
5.2.6 Place the new disc over the central boss on the rear
flange. Place the front flange onto the raised spigot
ensuring that the flats on the flange are aligned with
the flats on the spigot. Retain the assembly with the
clamping washer and centre bolt. Do not over tighten
the centre bolt.
