Fig. 3) and pull the spark guard (A) out as far as possible. Do not remove it.

4.Remove the screws (T) from both side covers (U) and remove the covers.

5.Using hex or adjustable wrenches, grasp the two hex nuts (V) holding the wheels to the arbor shaft (W) at each end of the tool (Refer to Fig. 6, 7). To remove the wheel from the left side, turn the hex nut (V) clockwise while holding the other stationary. To remove the wheel from the right side, turn the hex nut (V) counter clockwise while holding the other stationary.

6.Remove the wheel flanges (X) and the wheel (Y).

7.Inspect the wheel for cracks, chips or any other visible damage (other than normal wear) and discard if such damage is found. Inspect the blotter (Z) for damage. If the blotter is missing or severely damaged, replace it with a piece of thin cardboard or blotter paper cut to the same size. NEVER USE A WHEEL WITHOUT A BLOTTER.

11.Adjust the spark guard (A) to 1/16" (1.6 mm) from the wheel and tighten securely.

12.Adjust the tool rest (D) to 1/8" (3.18 mm) from the wheel and tighten securely.

13.Adjust the eye shield (B) to a point between your eyes and the wheel. The bench grinder is now ready for use.
