NOTE: To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle
lock, always allow motor to come to a complete stop
before engaging spindle lock.
 Loosen and remove the clamp nut from the spindle. Do
not remove the disc flange.
 Make sure the flats on the bottom of the disc flange are
engaged with the flats on the spindle.
 Place the grinding wheel over the spindle.
 Thread the clamp nut on the spindle with the flat side
of the nut facing up.
 Fit the raised, small diameter portion of the clamp nut
into the hole in the wheel and finger tighten.
