Press in the spindle lock button and use the hex wrench pro-
vided to loosen and remove the hex bolt (counterclockwise).
3. Remove the hex bolt, spring washer, washer, outer flange,
sleeve and cut-off wheel (if present).
4. Check the (2) wheel flanges to be sure they are in good con-
dition. Remove any nicks or burrs, which could cause uneven
cutting pressure and result in wheel damage.
5. Install the inner flange, wheel, outer flange, sleeve, washer,
spring washer and hex bolt as shown at the right.
Press in the spindle lock button while using the hex wrench
provided to tighten the hex bolt (clockwise). NOTE: Tighten
the bolt firmly enough to flatten the spring washer, but do not
use excessive pressure because overtightening the bolt may
damage the wheel and flanges.
6. Allow the moveable portion of the guard to return to its orig-
inal position.
7. Before starting a cut, step back from the tool and make a
trial run to confirm that the wheel is in good condition. When
repalcing a cut-off wheel, run the tool for over 3 mintues.
When starting routine work, run the tool for over 1 minute.
