ASSEMBLY
INSTALLING TILE CUTTING WHEEL
See Figures 20 - 21.
WARNING:
A 10 in. tile cutting wheel is the maximum wheel
capacity of the saw. Never use a wheel that is too
thick to allow wheel washer to engage with the
flats on the spindle. Larger wheels will come in
contact with the wheel guard, while thicker wheels
will prevent the wheel nut from securing the wheel
on the spindle. Either of these situations could
result in a serious accident and can cause serious
personal injury.
 Unplug the saw.
 Turn the wheel guard lock counterclockwise to unlock.
 Pull the wheel guard open to expose the spindle.
 Using the wheel wrench provided, remove the wheel nut.
Release the spindle lock button.
 Remove the outer washer.
 Slide the cutting wheel onto spindle.
WARNING:
If the washer has been removed, replace it before
placing wheel on spindle. Failure to do so could
cause an accident since the wheel will not tighten
properly. Never use wheels that have openings,
grooves, or teeth on this tool.
 Wipe a drop of oil onto the washer where it contacts the
cutting wheel.
 Place an outer washer onto the spindle. The double "D"
flats on the washer align with the flats on the spindle. Be
sure the hollow side of the washer is against the cutting
wheel.
 Place wheel nut on spindle.
 Depress the spindle lock button and rotate the cutting
wheel until the spindle locks.
 Using the wheel wrench provided, tighten nut securely.
Release the spindle lock button.
 Close and lock the wheel guard.
