DANGER:
Never attach a wood cutting or carving blade of any type
to this grinder. It is only designed for grinding and sand-
ing. Use for any other purpose is not recommended and
creates a hazard, which will result in serious injury.
WARNING:
Thoroughly inspect a new grinding wheel before you
install it on the grinder.
• Tap lightly around the wheel using a wooden
hammer.
• Listen carefully to the resulting sounds. Places with
fissures or cracks will result in a different sound.
Do not use a wheel containing fissures or cracks. When
you install a new grinding wheel, carry out a no load
revolution test of approximately one minute with the
grinding wheel facing a safe direction, i.e., away from
people or objects.
 Install the wheel guard.
 Depress the spindle lock button and rotate the flange nut
until the spindle locks.
NOTE: To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle lock,
always allow motor to come to a complete stop before
engaging spindle lock.
 Loosen and remove the flange nut from the spindle. Do
not remove the disc flange.
 Make sure the flats on the bottom of the disc flange are
engaged with the flats on the spindle.
 Place the grinding wheel over the spindle.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
Always install a grinding wheel with the depressed center
against the disc flange. Failure to do so will cause the
grinding wheel to crack when tightening the flange nut.
This could result in serious personal injury because of
loose particles breaking off and being thrown from the
grinder. Do not overtighten.
 Thread the flange nut on the spindle with the flat side of
the nut facing up.
 Fit the raised, small diameter portion of the flange nut
into the hole in the wheel and finger tighten.
 Depress the spindle lock button and rotate the wheel
clockwise until the spindle locks in position.
 Tighten the flange nut securely with the wrench provided.
Do not overtighten.
INSTALLING THE SIDE HANDLE
See Figure 2, page 13.
WARNING:
The side handle must always be used to help prevent
loss of control and possible serious injury.
The side handle can be installed on the top, left, or right side
of the grinder, depending on operator preference.
 Insert the side handle into the desired operating position.
 Turn the side handle clockwise to securely tighten.
