5.Reverse the above procedure to remove the wheel.

SURFACE GRINDING WITH GRINDING WHEELS (FIG. 11)

1.Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool to the work surface.

2.Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing the tool to operate at high speed. Grinding rate is greatest when the tool operates at high speed.

3.Maintain a 20° to 30° angle between the tool and work surface.

4.

Continuously move the tool in a forward and back

MOUNTING AND REMOVING HUBBED WHEELS Hubbed wheels install directly on the M14 x 2 threaded spindle.

1.Thread the wheel on the spindle by hand, seating the wheel against the spindle shoulder.

2.Depress the spindle lock button and use a wrench to tighten the hub of the wheel.

3.Reverse the above procedure to remove the wheel.

CAUTION: Failure to properly seat the wheel against the spindle shoulder before turning the tool on may result in damage to the tool or the wheel.

MOUNTING NON-HUBBED WHEELS

Depressed center, Type 27 grinding wheels must be used with available accessory flanges. See the chart on pages 10–11 of this manual for more information.

1.Install the metal backing flange (Q) on spindle (E) against the spindle shoulder.
