when installing or removing wheels. Operate the spindle lock only
when the tool is turned off, unplugged from the power supply, and
has come to a complete stop. Do not engage the spindle lock
while the tool is operating because damage to the tool will result.
To engage the lock, depress the spindle lock button and rotate the
spindle until you are unable to rotate the spindle further.
