9. For wheels with paper gaskets (blotters) or
metal gaskets: Slip the grinding wheel onto the
Spindle with the gasket first. The gasket should be
centered on the grinding wheel and the wheel and
gasket should rest flat against the Inner Flange.
WARNING: To prevent serious injury, gaskets
must be used for all grinding wheels they are
provided with. Gaskets help prevent grinding
wheel damage and wheel slippage,
causes of wheel failure.
10. While holding the Spindle Lock, tighten the Arbor
Bolt.
WARNING: To prevent serious injury, do not
overtighten the Arbor Bolt. Overtightening can
damage the wheel, causing wheel failure.
11. LOOSEN THE SWING GUARD SCREW and
make sure that the Swing Guard moves
freely back into place before operation.
12. WARNING! Adjust the Cutting Depth whenever
replacing a worn wheel. See following section.
