INSTALLING/REMOVING GRINDING WHEEL
See Figure 1, page 12.
WARNING:
Thoroughly inspect a new grinding wheel before you
install it on the grinder.
• Tap lightly around the wheel using a wooden hammer.
• Listen carefully to the resulting sounds. Places with
fissures or cracks will result in a different sound.
Do not use a wheel containing fissures or cracks. When
you install a new grinding wheel, carry out a no load
revolution test of approximately one minute with the
grinding wheel facing a safe direction, i.e., away from
people or objects.
 Install the wheel guard.
 Place the disc flange onto the spindle. Make sure the
flats on the bottom of the disc flange are engaged with
the flats on the spindle.
 Place the grinding wheel over the spindle.
WARNING:
Always install a grinding wheel with the depressed center
against the disc flange. Failure to do so will cause the
grinding wheel to crack when tightening the Fixtec nut.
This could result in serious personal injury because of
loose particles breaking off and being thrown from the
grinder. Do not overtighten.
 Thread the Fixtec nut on the spindle with the flat side of
the nut facing up.
 Fit the raised, small diameter portion of the Fixtec nut
into the hole in the wheel and finger tighten.
