WARNING:
A 355 mm wheel is the maximum wheel capacity of your
cut-off machine. Never use a wheel that is too thick to allow
outer flange to engage with the flats on the spindle. Larger
wheels will come in contact with the wheel guards, while
thicker wheels will prevent the bolt from securing the wheel on
the spindle. Either of these situations could result in a serious
accident and can cause serious personal injury.
