INSTALLING A GRINDING WHEEL
1. The Grinding Wheel MUST be:
• Rated to at least 3600 RPM.
• No larger than 3″ (76.2 mm) in diameter.
• Fitted with a 1/2″ round arbor hole.
• 1/2″ Thick or less.
• Suitable for edge grinding, not surface grinding.
• Dry and clean.
• Proven undamaged by inspection.
2. Loosen Screws on Grinding Wheel Cover.
Twist cover clockwise and remove.
3. Hold onto wheel to stop wheel from turning.
Turn Nut counterclockwise to remove.
4. Remove Outer Flange.
Keep Wheel Bushing (5) and Inner
Flange (7) in position on Spindle.
5. Closely inspect the wheel before installing.
6. For wheels with paper gaskets (blotters) or metal gaskets: Slip the grinding wheel onto
the Spindle with the gasket first. The gasket should be centered on the grinding wheel
and the wheel and gasket should rest flat against the Inner Flange.
WARNING: To prevent serious injury, gaskets must be used for all grinding
wheels they are provided with. Gaskets help prevent grinding wheel damage
and wheel slippage, causes of wheel failure.
7. Replace Outer Flange onto Spindle. Wrench tighten Nut only enough so that the
wheel is securely held on the spindle.
WARNING: To prevent serious injury, do not overtighten flange. Overtightening
can damage the wheel, causing wheel failure.
8. Replace Grinding Wheel Cover. Twist cover counterclockwise then tighten hardware
securely.
9. Practice on a sample workpiece before grinding the actual workpiece. Experience is
required to attain good grinding results.
