Changing A Grinding Wheel - Axminster AHBGDL Hobby Series User Manual

!
Ensure that the grinder is disconnected from the mains supply.
Undo the nuts and bolts that secure the outer shell of the wheel guard to the
inner shell. Remove the outer shell and place it and the nuts, bolts and washers
carefully aside. (See fig 6)
!
WARNING!!
Be very careful that the stone cover does not 'spring' out of its location lip
on the inner cover, it can spring out with some force. (See fig 7)
Fig 6
Loosen the nut holding the
flange and the soft washer that is clamping the grindstone in place. (See figs 8 & 9) Then,
very carefully remove the grindstone from the shaft, take care that no damage or distortion
is done to the bush (if one is fitted). (See fig 10) Now is a good time to clean out the interior
of the wheel guard, removing any loose or compacted material that may have accumulated.
Carefully inspect the new grinding wheel before it is fitted, check that there are no cracks,
and there is no damage to either the front face or the edges. If required, fit the bush to the
grindstone. Carefully mount the grindstone onto the shaft, reposition the soft washer and
the wheel flange, replace the holding nut and tighten carefully. Do Not Overtighten. Refit
the outside shell of the wheel guard and secure with its nuts and bolts. Refit the tool rest,
positioning as in "Setting up the grinder". Fasten securely.
