MOUNTING NON-HUBBED WHEELS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
turn tool off and and remove battery pack before making
any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or
accessories.
Depressed center Type 27 grinding wheels must be used with
included flanges. See pages 14 and 15 of this manual for more
information.
1. Install the unthreaded backing flange (G)
on spindle (D) with the raised section (pilot)
against the wheel.
2. Place wheel against the backing flange,
centering the wheel on the raised section
(pilot) of the backing flange.
3. While depressing the spindle lock
button, thread the clamp nut (H) on
spindle. If the wheel you are installing is
more than 1/8" (3.17 mm) thick, place the
threaded clamp nut on the spindle so that
the raised section (pilot) fits into the center
of the wheel. If the wheel you are installing
is 1/8" (3.17 mm) thick or less, place the
threaded clamp nut on the spindle so that
the raised section (pilot) is not against the
wheel.
4. While depressing the spindle lock button,
tighten the clamp nut with a wrench.
5. To remove the wheel, depress the spindle
lock button and loosen the threaded
clamp nut with a wrench.
NOTE: If the wheel spins after the clamp
nut is tightened, check the orientation of
the threaded clamp nut. If a thin wheel is
installed with the pilot on the clamp nut
against the wheel, it will spin because the
height of the pilot prevents the clamp nut
from holding the wheel.

1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool to the
work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing the tool
to operate at high speed. Grinding rate is greatest when the tool
D
operates at high speed.
3. Maintain a 20° to 30° angle between
the tool and work surface.
4. Continuously move the tool in a
forward and back motion to avoid
creating gouges in the work surface.
