Mounting and Using Cutting
(Type 1) Wheels

Cutting wheels include diamond wheels and abrasive discs.
Abrasive cutting wheels for metal and concrete use are available.
Diamond blades for concrete cutting can also be used.

WARNING: A closed, 2-sided cutting wheel guard is not included

with this tool but is required when using cutting wheels. Failure to
use proper flange and guard can result in injury resulting from wheel
breakage and wheel contact. See page 7 for more information.

MOUNTING CLOSED (TYPE 1) GUARD

CAUTION: Turn off and unplug the tool before making any

adjustments or removing or installing attachments or acces-
sories. Before reconnecting the tool, turn the switch on and off
as previously described to ensure that the tool is off.

1. Open the guard latch (M). Align

the lugs (N) on the guard with the
slots (O) on the gear case.

2. Push the guard down until the

guard lug engages and rotates
freely in the groove on the gear
case hub.

3. Rotate guard (I) into desired

working position. The guard body
should be positioned between the
spindle and the operator to provide
maximum operator protection.

4. Close the guard latch to secure the guard

on the gear case cover. You should be
unable to rotate the guard by hand when
the latch is in closed position. If rotation is
possible, tighten the adjusting screw (P) with clamp lever in the
closed position. Do not operate grinder with a loose guard or
clamp lever in open position.

5. To remove the guard, open the guard latch, rotate the guard so

that the arrows are aligned and pull up on the guard.

NOTE: If, after a period of time, the guard
becomes loose, tighten the adjusting
screw (P) with the clamp lever in the
closed position.

CAUTION: Do not tighten adjusting

screw with clamp lever in open position.
Undetectable damage to guard or
mounting hub may result.

MOUNTING CUTTING WHEELS

CAUTION: Turn off and unplug the tool before making any

adjustments or removing or installing attachments or acces-
sories. Before reconnecting the tool, turn the switch on and off
as previously described to ensure that the tool is off.

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 back-
ing 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 wrench.

5. To remove the wheel, grasp and turn while depressing the

spindle lock button.
