clamping nut (depending on features)
Securing the "Quick" clamping nut (1):

8 mm (5/16")! In this case, use the clamping nut (12)
with 2-hole spanner (13).
- Lock the spindle (see chapter 6.1).
- Position the "Quick" clamping nut (1) on the
spindle (3) so that the 2 lugs engage in the
2 grooves on the spindle. See illustration

- Tighten the "Quick" clamping nut by turning
clockwise by hand.
- Turn the grinding wheel firmly clockwise to tighten
the "Quick" clamping nut.
Releasing the "Quick" clamping nut (1):
The "Quick" clamping nut (1) must be attached
before the spindle locking button (4) can hold
the spindle!
- The machine continues to run after switching off.

The 2 sides of the clamping nut are different. Screw
the clamping nut onto the spindle as follows:
See illustration B on page 2.
