Mounting and Using Cutting (Type 1) Wheels

Cutting wheels include diamond wheels and abrasive discs. Abrasive cutting wheels for metal and concrete use are available. Diamond blades for concrete cutting can also be used.

WARNING: A closed, 2-sided cutting wheel guard is not included with this tool but is required when using cutting wheels. Failure to use proper flange and guard can result in injury resulting from wheel breakage and wheel contact. See page 10 for more information.

MOUNTING CLOSED (TYPE 1) GUARD (FIG. 16, 17, 18)

1.	Open the guard latch (J). Align the	FIG. 16	K
	lugs (K) on the guard with the slots
	(L) on the gear case.
2.	Push the guard down until the guard
	lug engages and rotates freely in	L
	the groove on the gear case hub.
3.	Rotate guard (G) into desired		J
	working position. The guard body
	should be positioned between the	FIG. 17
	spindle and the operator to provide
	maximum operator protection.
4.	Close the guard latch to secure the
	guard on the gear case cover. You
	should be unable to rotate the guard by
	hand when the latch is in closed		G
	position. If rotation is possible, tighten

the adjusting screw (M) with clamp lever in the closed position. Do not operate grinder with a loose guard or clamp lever in open position.

5.To remove the guard, open the guard latch, rotate the guard so that the arrows are aligned and pull up on the guard.

NOTE: If, after a period of time, the guard
	FIG. 18
becomes loose, tighten the adjusting
screw (M) with the clamp lever in the	M
closed position.

CAUTION: Do not tighten adjusting screw with clamp lever in open position. Undetectable damage to guard or mounting hub may result.

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. 19)

WARNING: Do not use edge grinding/cutting wheels for surface grinding applications because these wheels are not designed for side pressures encountered with surface grinding. Wheel breakage and injury may result.

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