SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP
7. For wheels with paper gaskets (blotters) or
metal gaskets: Slip the grinding wheel onto the
Spindle with the gasket first. The gasket should be
centered on the grinding wheel and the wheel and
gasket should rest flat against the Inner Flange.
WARNING: To prevent serious injury, gaskets
must be used for all grinding wheels they are
provided with. Gaskets help prevent grinding
wheel damage and wheel slippage,
causes of wheel failure.
8. Install the new grinding wheel and place the
Outer Flange in position on the Spindle.
9. Thread the M16 Lock Nut onto the Spindle.
Wrench tighten only enough so that the
wheel is securely held on the Spindle.
WARNING: To prevent serious injury, do
not overtighten Lock Nut. Overtightening can
damage the wheel, causing wheel failure.
10. Replace the Wheel Guard Cover and secure
in place using the three M5 x 46 Screws.
