1 ASSEMBLY WARNING: The angle grinder should never be connected to a power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the tool is not in use. Disconnecting the tool will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious injury. Attaching the Side Handle See Figure 2. Follow these steps to attach the side handle. ¦ Unplug the grinder. ¦ Screw the handle into the side of the gear housing. Note: You can install the handle on either the left or right side of the grinder, depending on operator preference. It must always be used to prevent loss of control and possible serious injury. ¦ Tighten the side handle securely. Installing Wheels See Figures 3a and 3b. WARNING: Thoroughly inspect a new grinding wheel before you install it on the grinder. • Tap lightly around the wheel using a wooden hammer. • Listen carefully to the resulting sounds. Places with fissures or cracks will result in a different sound. Do not use a wheel containing fissures or cracks. When you install a new grinding wheel, carry out a no load revolution test of approximately one minute with the grinding wheel facing a safe direction, i.e., away from people or objects. Follow these steps to install wheels. ¦ Unplug the grinder. Note: The grinder is shipped with the flange and clamp nut attached to the spindle. ¦ Depress the spindle lock button and rotate the clamp nut until the spindle locks. 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 flange. ¦ Make sure the flats on the bottom of the flange are engaged with the flats on the spindle. • Choose one of these options: • Install grinding wheel: 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. Fig. 2 10 ASSEMBLY • To install optional flap disc (sold separately): Place the flap disc 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. WARNING: Always install a grinding wheel with the depressed center against the flange. Failure to do so will cause the grinding wheel to crack when tightening the clamp nut . This could result in serious personal injury because of loose particles breaking off and being thrown from the grinder. Do not overtighten. ¦ Depress the spindle lock button and rotate the wheel Fig. 3a clockwise until the spindle locks in position. ¦ Tighten the clamp nut securely with the wrench provided.
