WARNING: A closed, two‑sided cutting wheel guard
is required when using abrasive cutting wheels or
diamond‑coated cutting wheels.

WARNING: Use of a damaged flange or guard or
failure to use proper flange and guard can re sult in
injury due to wheel breakage and wheel contact. Refer
to the Accessories Chart for more information.
1. Place the tool on a table, guard up.
2. Fit the inner backing flange 
spindle 
(Fig. F).

3. Place the wheel 
 12 
on the backing flange 
fitting a wheel with a raised center, make sure that the
raised center 
 13 
is facing the backing flange 
4. Screw the threaded locking flange 
a. If the wheel you are installing is 3.0 mm (1/8") thick
or less, place the threaded locking flange 
spindle so that the raised section (pilot) is not against
the wheel. (Fig. H2). 
b. If the wheel you are installing is more than 3.0 mm
(1/8") thick, place the threaded locking flange 
the spindle so that the raised section (pilot) fits into
the center of the wheel (Fig. H1).
5. Press the spindle lock button 
until it locks in position.
6. Tighten the threaded locking flange 
wrench supplied.
7. Release the spindle lock.
nOTE: If the wheel spins after the clamp nut is tightened,
check the orientation of the threaded clamp nut. If a thin
wheel is installed with the pilot on the clamp nut against the
wheel, it will spin because the height of the pilot prevents
the clamp nut from holding the wheel.
8. To remove the wheel, engage the spindle lock button 
and loosen the threaded locking flange 
two‑pin spanner.

WARNING: Do not use a damaged disc.
Mounting Sanding Backing Pads (Fig. A, I)
nOTE: Use of a guard with sanding discs that use backing
pads, often called fiber resin discs, is not required. Since a
guard is not required for these accessories, the guard may or
may not fit correctly if used.

WARNING: Failure to properly seat the clamp nut and/
or pad could result in serious injury (or damage to the
tool or wheel).

WARNING: Proper guard must be reinstalled for
grinding wheel, cutting wheel, sanding flap disc,
wire brush or wire wheel applications after sanding
applications are complete.

Wire Wheels (Fig. A)

WARNING: Failure to properly seat the brush/wheel
could result in serious injury (or damage to the tool
or wheel).

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury,
wear work gloves when handling wire brushes
and wheels. They can become sharp.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the
tool, wheel or brush must not touch guard when
mounted or while in use. Undetectable damage
 1 
could occur to the accessory, causing wires to fragment
from accessory wheel or cup.
Wire cup brushes or wire wheels install directly on the
threaded spindle without the use of the backing and
threaded locking flanges. Use only wire brushes or wheels
provided with a 5/8"‑11 threaded hub. A Type 27 guard is
required when using wire cup brushes and wire wheels.
1. Place the tool on a table, guard up.
2. Thread the wheel on the spindle 
3. Depress spindle lock button 
hub of the wire wheel or brush to tighten the wheel.
4. To remove the wheel, reverse the above procedure.
NOTICE: To reduce the risk of damage to the tool,
properly seat the wheel hub before turning the tool on.
