6. Attaching the grinding wheel

Disconnect the mains plug before changing
any accessories. The machine must be
switched off and the spindle at a standstill.
For reasons of safety, attach the parting guard
before performing parting work
(see chapter 10. Accessories).
6.1 Locking the spindle
- Press in the spindle locking button (3) and turn the
spindle (2) by hand until the spindle locking button
engages.
6.2 Placing the grinding wheel in position
See page 2, illustration A.
- Place the supporting flange (1) on the spindle (see
illustration above). The flange should not turn on
the spindle when properly attached.
- Place the grinding wheel on the
support flange (1) (see illustration above).
The grinding wheel must lay flat on the supporting
flange. The metal flange on the parting grinder
disc must lay flat on the support flange.
Note: The support flange (1) is secured to prevent it
from falling off. To remove: use some force if
necessary.
6.3 Securing/releasing the clamping nut
Securing the clamping nut (10):
The 2 sides of the clamping nut are different. Screw
the clamping nut onto the spindle as follows:
See page 2, illustration B.
- A) For thin grinding wheels:
The edge of the clamping nut (10) faces upwards
so that the thin grinding wheel can be attached
securely.
B) For thick grinding wheels:
The edge of the clamping nut (10) faces
downwards so that the clamping nut can be
attached securely to the spindle.
- Lock the spindle. Turn the clamping nut (10)
clockwise using the 2-hole spanner (11) to
secure.
Releasing the clamping nut:
- Lock the spindle (see chapter 6.1). Turn the
clamping nut (10) anticlockwise using the 2-hole
spanner (11) to unscrew.
