NOTICE: Do not tighten adjusting screw with clamp lever in open position. Undetectable damage to guard or mounting hub may result.
CAUTION: If the guard cannot be tightened by the adjusting clamp, do not use the tool. To reduce the risk of personal injury, take the tool and guard to an authorized service center to repair or replace the guard.
MOUNTING CUTTING WHEELS
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 backing 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.
USING CUTTING WHEELS (FIG. 20)
