Replacing a Grinding Wheel

• rated to at least 3580 RPM.
• no larger than 8" (203.2 mm) in diameter.
• fitted with a 5/8" round arbor hole.
• 1" thick.
• suitable for edge grinding, not surface grinding.
• dry and clean.
• proven undamaged by inspection and
by the ring‑test explained below.
2. Fully loosen the Locking Screws (1) (the screws will
stay in place, attached to the locking nut), turn the
Wheel Guard Cover (2) counterclockwise to remove
the Cover and expose the Grinding Wheel (5).
3. Place a small wooden wedge between
the Grinding Wheel and Work Rest
