2. Press in and hold the Spindle Lock Button
to prevent the Spindle from turning.
3. Remove the Outer Flange.
Keep the Inner Flange in position on the Spindle.
4. Closely inspect the wheel before mounting.
5. For wheels with metal gaskets: Slip the
grinding wheel onto the Spindle with the gasket
first. The gasket should be centered on the
grinding wheel and the wheel and gasket
should rest flat against the Inner Flange.

WARNING: To prevent serious
injury, gaskets must be used for all
grinding wheels they are provided with.
Gaskets help prevent grinding wheel damage
and wheel slippage, causes of wheel failure.
Note:
The Outer Flange has a step for improved
stability with thick accessories. Keep this step
on the inside for thick accessories. To allow
proper clamping for thin accessories, flip Outer
Flange so this step is on the outside.
7. Thread the Outer Flange onto the Spindle.
Wrench tighten only enough so that the wheel is
securely held on the spindle.
WARNING: To prevent serious injury,
do not overtighten flange. Overtightening can
damage the wheel, causing wheel failure.
