WARNING

Make sure machine is unplugged from power

source before installing a cut-off wheel or making

any adjustment to the machine.

the machine.

3. Locate the lock pin under the handle. Press the lock

pin and hold in while turning the arbor wrench

counter-clockwise (Figure 2). The arbor will engage

after some turning of the wrench.

NOTE! The arbor screw has a right hand thread. This

helps prevent unwanted loosening of the arbor

screw during normal operation.

4. Remove the arbor screw, lock washer, arbor washer

and outer flange.

NOTE! Pay attention to pieces removed, noting their

position and direction they face (Figure 3). Wipe

the inner and outer flanges clean of any debris

before installing new cut-off wheel.

Installing The Abrasive Cut-Off Wheel

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury from a thrown work-

piece, use a 14″ diameter abrasive cut-off wheel

that is rated for 3900 RPM.

NOTE! Choose the right 14″ diameter cut-off wheel for

the material and the type of cutting you plan to

do. For example, when cutting steel, use abra-

sive cut-off wheel especially designed to be

used on steel.
