MOUNTING
CUTTING WHEELS (FIG. 8)
,_ CAUTION: Matching diameter threaded backing flange and clamp
nut (included with tool) must be used for cutting wheels.
1. Place the unthreaded backing flange on spindle with the raised
section (pilot) facing up. The raised section (pilot) on the backing
flange will be against the wheel when the wheel is installed.
2. Place the wheel on the backing flange, centering the wheel on the
raised section (pilot).
3. Install the threaded clamp nut with the raised section (pilot)
facing away from the wheel.
4. Depress the spindle lock button and tighten clamp nut with a

USING CUTTING WHEELS (FIG. 17)
_, WARNING: Do not use edge grinding/cutting
wheels for surface
grinding applications because these wheels are not designed for side
pressures encountered with surface grinding. Wheel breakage and
injury may result.
1. Allow tool to reach full speed before
FIG._17 •
touching tool to work surface.
2. Apply
minimum
pressure
to work
surface, allowing tool to operate at
high speed. Cutting rate is greatest
when the tool operates at high speed.
3. Once a cut is begun and a notch is
_
established in the workpiece, do not
change the angle of the cut. Changing
the angle will cause the wheel to bend
and may cause wheel breakage.
4. Remove the tool from work surface
before turning tool off. Allow the tool to
stop rotating before setting it down.
