WARNING
CAUTION
Be sure the MAG-8100 power cord is unplugged. Using
a 5/16" socket wrench remove the (3) screws of the
front steel guard. Locate your spanner wrench and
arbor wrench (both supplied by Magna-Matic.) The
arbor wrench fits into a square notch in the arbor behind
the grinding wheel, and the spanner wrench fits into the
two holes in the arbor nut. See diagrams below.
Always inspect grinding wheels for possible damage
- never mount a cracked grinding wheel. DO NOT
OVER-TIGHTEN ARBOR NUT - ONLY LIGHT
PRESSURE TO TIGHTEN. The motor will tighten
the arbor nut every time the sharpener is turned on.
For optimum performance use only grinding wheels
specified by
Magna-Matic. All NORTON® brand grinding wheels
sold by Magna-Matic are speed tested for 5500 RPM
NOTE: ARBOR HAS LEFT-HANDED THREADS.
