Due to normal wear, both wheels will need to be replaced occasionally. See Fig. K.

1.Turn the power switch “OFF” and unplug the power cord from its power source

2.Rotate the eyeshields to the “UP” position for access to the tool rests.

3.Remove the three screws (A), flat washers (B), external tooth lock washers (C) and nuts (D) hold- ing the Outer Wheel Covers (E) to the Bench Grinder.

4.Remove the Outer Wheel Covers.

5.Place a small wooden wedge between the Abrasive Wheel (F) and Tool Rest (G) to prevent the wheels from rotating.

6.Remove the right side grinding wheel by turning the lock-nut (H) in the counterclockwise direction with an open-end wrench (not included). The left side wheel can be removed by turning the lock-nut in the clockwise direction with an open-end wrench.

7.Remove the Outer Wheel Flange (I) and then remove the abrasive wheel from the arbor shaft (J). The Arbor Bushing (K) should be saved, for future use, if the replacement wheel does not use this bushing.

8.CAUTION: The new abrasive wheel to be put on the Bench Grinder must have a higher R.P.M rating than the Bench Grinder. The label on the side of the abrasive wheels must stay on, DO NOT remove this label.

9.Replace the abrasive wheel, outer wheel flange, and the lock-nut in reverse order from removal.

CAUTION: DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN the lock nut as this may damage the abrasive wheels and cause seri- ous injury to the operator.

DUST PORT (Fig. N)

There is a dust port located on the inner side of each Inner Wheel Guard. These dust ports allows the grind- ing dust to exit the wheel cavity.

If you choose to attach the dust ports to a dust collec- tion system, make sure the dust collector is rated and configured for your grinding operation.
