For models 9557NB and 9558NB, mount the inner flange
onto the spindle so that the side of the inner flange with
the 7/8" diameter protrusion faces the diamond wheel.
Place the diamond wheel onto the inner flange making

the lock nut to secure the wheel by placing it on the
spindle so that the flat side faces the wheel 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

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:
After operation, always switch off the tool and wait
•
until the wheel has come to a complete stop before
putting the tool down.
