Grasp the stone using a cloth, use a 19mm spanner to 
loosen the nut, remember undo the nut in the direction
of the stone’s rotation.

Remove plate flange and carefully remove the stone. 
Clean the drive shaft and rear plate flange, inspect the new 
stone for cracks and damage to either the front face or the 
edges before fitting. Carefully slide the stone on the shaft, 
replace the plate flange and the nut then tighten against 
the rotation of the stone.  DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

Reassemble the trough as shown in steps 3-7 on the
previous page. Replace the drain plug.

CONNECT THE GRINDER 
TO THE MAINS SUPPLY.

Reconnect the grinder to the mains supply, give the 
grinder a ‘short burst’, by switching it on and off quickly. 
Check the grinder is not subject to any undue vibration. 
If the grinder does vibrate, switch off immediately and 
disconnect from the main supply.  Remove the trough
and check stone and plate flange are fitted correctly. 
Reassemble and refill the trough with clean water. 
 
Switch on the grinder, wait until it reaches full speed and 
leave the machine running for at least one minute before 
carrying out any work. Apply a work piece. When work 
has been completed switch off and wait until the grinder 

comes to a complete stop. Disconnect the grinder from 
the mains supply.
