ASSEMBLY
 Remove the outer washer.
 Slide the cutting wheel onto spindle.
NOTE: Two water nozzles come installed on this product. Be
sure to install cutting wheel so that there is a water nozzle on
each side of cutting wheel with water ports facing the cutting
wheel. The outer water nozzle can be easily removed for
installation of cutting wheel. Check that outer nozzle outlet
hole has been reattached with water port facing toward the
cutting wheel.
WARNING:
If the inner 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.
