Maintenance
ENGLISH
• Due to usage the wheel may crack, striate, get
round-edged, chip, get unbalanced or get stuck with
material. If the wheels show cracks, they must be replaced
immediately. The other conditions can be fixed with a
honing tool (available in most of the hardware stores).
• New wheels may need to be honed again to round them
off.
Grinding Wheel Care
• Replace wheels only with other wheels with a speed
range at least as high as the r/min NO LOAD stamped in
the tool nameplate and with a 1/2” axis orifice.
Adapters can be used to adjust the
internal diameter of the wheel to the motor shaft.
• The wheel diameter shall be 6” and the maximum
thickness 3/4”.
• Double check the new wheels have no cracks and keep
the sequence of both.
• Remove the wheel guard loosening and removing its
three screws (
A
).
• Using a tool hold the wheel firmly to prevent it from
moving (
B
) and loosen the axis nut. The
right-hand wheel nut gets loose turning in a
counterclockwise direction and the left-hand side wheel
nut (
C
) is loosened turning in a clockwise direction.
• Remove the outer flange (
D
) and the wheel to be
replaced (
E
).
• To set correctly, set the new wheel onto the axis
(
F
) and repeat the described steps in a reverse
manner.
• The tool can be set with most of the polishing
and buffing wheels available in the market.
• Using any different accessory
is not advisable and can cause severe injury.t
