NOTE: Please refer to the Grinding and Cutting
Accessory Chart at the end of this section to
see other accessories that can be used with these
grinders.
1. Place the tool on a table, spindle (d) up.
2. Open the guard latch (k), and align the lugs (l)
on the guard with the slots on the gear
case (m).
3. Push the guard down until the guard lugs
engage and rotate freely in the groove on the
gear case hub.
4. With the guard latch open, rotate the guard (i)
into the desired working position.
5. Close the guard latch to secure the guard on
the gear case.
CAUTION: If the guard cannot be
tightened by the adjusting screw (n), do
not use the tool. To reduce the risk of
personal injury, take the tool and guard
to a service center to repair or replace
the guard.
NOTICE: Do not tighten the adjusting
screw (n) with the clamp lever in the
open position. Undetectable damage
to the guard or the mounting hub may
result.
NOTE: Edge grinding and cutting can be performed
with Type 27 wheels designed and specified for this
purpose; 6.35 mm (1/4") thick wheels are designed
for surface grinding while 3.17 mm (1/8") wheels are
designed for edge grinding.
Mounting Depressed Center Grinding
Wheels
NOTE: The Type 27 guard supplied with grinder
MUST be used.
MOUNTING AND REMOVING HUBBED WHEELS (FIG. 1, 4)
Hubbed wheels install directly on the M14 threaded
spindle.
1. Thread the wheel on the spindle (d) by hand.
2. Depress the spindle lock button (c) and use a
wrench to tighten the hub of the wheel.
3. Reverse the above procedure to remove the
wheel.
NOTICE: Failure to properly seat the
wheel before turning the tool on may
result in damage to the tool or the
wheel.

MOUNTING NON-HUBBED WHEELS (FIG. 1, 4)
NOTE: The Type 27 guard supplied with grinder
MUST be used.
NOTE: Please refer to the Grinding and Cutting
Accessory Chart at the end of this section to
see other accessories that can be used with these
grinders.
1. Place the tool on a table, guard up.
2. Install the unthreaded backing flange (g) on
spindle (d) with the raised centre against the
wheel.
3. Place wheel (f) against the backing flange,
centering the wheel on the raised centre of the
backing flange.
4. While depressing the spindle lock button (c),
thread the clamp nut (h) on spindle. If the
wheel you are installing is more than 1/8"
(3.17mm) thick, place the threaded clamp nut
on the spindle so that the raised centre fits into
the center of the wheel. If the wheel you are
installing is 1/8" (3.17 mm) thick or less, place
the threaded clamp nut on the spindle so that
the raised centre is not against the wheel.
5. While depressing the spindle lock button (c),
tighten the clamp nut with a wrench.
6. To remove the wheel, depress the spindle lock
button and loosen the threaded clamp nut with
a wrench.
NOTE: If the wheel spins after the clamp nut is
tightened, check the orientation of the threaded
clamp nut. If a thin wheel is installed with the
raised centre on the clamp nut against the wheel,
it will spin because the height of the raised centre
prevents the clamp nut from holding the wheel.
Mounting Wire Brushes and Wire
Wheels (fi g. 1)
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
M14 threaded hub. These accessories are available
at extra cost from your local dealer or authorised
service center.
NOTE: The Type 27 guard is required when using
wire brushes and wheels.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of
personal injury, wear work gloves
when handling wire brushes and
wheels. They can become sharp.
