ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING:

To prevent accidental starting that could cause possible serious personal injury, assemble all parts to your cut-off machine before connecting it to power supply. Machine should never be connected to power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, installing or removing wheels, or when not in use.

As mentioned previously your cut-off machine has been factory assembled and adjusted. After extended use and wear, the wheel will need to be replaced with a new one.

WARNING:

A 14 in. (356 mm) wheel is the maximum wheel capacity of your cut-off machine. Never use a wheel that is too thick to allow outer flange to engage with the flats on the spindle. Larger wheels will come in contact with the wheel guards, while thicker wheels will prevent the bolt from securing the wheel on the spindle. Either of these situations could result in a serious accident and can cause serious personal injury.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF WHEEL

TO REMOVE

See Figure 5.

■Unplug your cut-off machine.

WARNING:

Failure to unplug cut-off machine could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury.

■Push down on machine arm and pull out arm lock lever to release machine arm.

■Raise machine arm to its full raised position. Be cautious when raising, machine arm is spring loaded.

■Rotate lower wheel guard upward, exposing 8 mm socket head bolt that secures abrasive wheel to wheel arbor.

■Depress the spindle lock button and rotate bolt until spindle locks, preventing shaft from rotating.

■Using the 8 mm hex key provided, loosen and remove bolt. Note: Bolt has right hand threads. Turn bolt counterclockwise to loosen.

■Remove outer washer, outer flange, spacer, and wheel. Do not remove inner flange or inner washer. Removal of these two parts are not required for wheel changes.

WARNING:

If inner flange or inner washer has been removed, replace both before placing wheel on spacer and wheel arbor. Failure to do so could cause an accident since wheel will not tighten properly.

TO INSTALL

See Figure 5.

■Unplug your cut-off machine.

WARNING:

Failure to unplug cut-off machine could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury.

■Inspect the replacement wheel for defects such as cracks, chipping, and correct speed rating. If defects are found or the speed rating is not greater than 3300 rpm, do not use. Select another wheel.

■Clean debris from the inner washer and inner flange.

■Place new wheel over spacer, then place both on wheel arbor against inner flange.

■Clean outer flange, then align flats with flats on wheel arbor and slide it onto arbor until it is flush against wheel.

■Place recessed side of outer washer against arbor, then insert socket head bolt into threaded end of wheel arbor.

■Start threads and turn bolt clockwise to snugly tighten.

■Depress the spindle lock button and rotate bolt until spindle locks, preventing shaft from rotating.

■Using the 8 mm hex key provided, securely tighten socket head bolt. Note: Bolt has right hand threads. Turn bolt clockwise to tighten.

WARNING:

Do not overtighten socket head bolt. Overtightening can cause the new wheel to crack, resulting in premature failure and possible serious personal injury.
