Installing or removing wheel guard (For
depressed center wheel, multi disc, wire
wheel brush/abrasive cut-off wheel,
diamond wheel)
WARNING:
• When using a depressed center grinding wheel/Multi-
disc, flex wheel or wire wheel brush, the wheel guard
must be fitted on the tool so that the closed side of the
guard always points toward the operator.
• When using an abrasive cut-off/diamond wheel, be
sure to use only the special wheel guard designed for
use with cut-off wheels. (In some European countries,
when using a diamond wheel, the ordinary guard can
8
be used. Follow the regulations in your country.)
(Fig. 4)
Mount the wheel guard with the protrusion on the wheel
guard band aligned with the notch on the bearing box.
Then rotate the wheel guard to such an angle that it can
protect the operator according to work. Be sure to tighten
the screw securely.
To remove wheel guard, follow the installation procedure
in reverse.
Installing or removing depressed center
grinding wheel/Multi-disc (accessory)
(Fig. 5)
Mount the inner flange onto the spindle. Fit the wheel/disc
on the inner flange and screw the lock nut onto the
spindle.
Super flange
Models 9067F, 9069F, 9067SF and 9069SF are standard-
equipped with a super flange. Only 1/3 of efforts needed
to undo lock nut, compared with conventional type.
To tighten the lock nut, press the shaft lock firmly so that
the spindle cannot revolve, then use the lock nut wrench
and securely tighten clockwise.(Fig. 6)
To remove the wheel, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
Installing or removing abrasive disc

(optional accessory)

NOTE:
• Use sander accessories specified in this manual.
These must be purchased separately. (Fig. 7)
Mount the rubber pad onto the spindle. Fit the disc on the
rubber pad and screw the lock nut onto the spindle. To
tighten the lock nut, press the shaft lock firmly so that the
spindle cannot revolve, then use the lock nut wrench and
securely tighten clockwise.
To remove the disc, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.

OPERATION

WARNING:
• It should never be necessary to force the tool. The
weight of the tool applies adequate pressure. Forcing
and excessive pressure could cause dangerous wheel
breakage.
• ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is dropped while
grinding.
• NEVER bang or hit grinding disc or wheel onto work.
• Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially
when working corners, sharp edges etc. This can
cause loss of control and kickback.
• NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades and other
sawblades. Such blades when used on a grinder
frequently kick and cause loss of control leading to
personal injury.
CAUTION:
• Never switch on the tool when it is in contact with the
workpiece, it may cause an injury to operator.
• Always wear safety goggles or a face shield during
operation.
