range at least as high as the r/min indicated on the

the sequence of both.

three screws (A).
• Using a tool hold the wheel firmly to prevent it from
moving (B) and loosen the axis nut.

direction and the left-hand side disc nut (C) is loosened
turning in a clockwise direction.
• Remove the outer flange (D) and the wheel to be

• To set correctly, set the new wheel onto the axis (F) and
repeat the described steps in a reverse manner.

Grinding Wheel Care
• Due to usage the wheel may crack, striate, get
round-edged, chip, get unbalanced or get stuck with
material. If the wheels show cracks, they must be replaced
immediately. The other conditions can be fixed with a
honing tool (available in most of the hardware stores).
• New wheels may need to be honed again to round them
off.
