WARNING: Failure to properly seat the clamp nut and/or pad could result in serious injury (or damage to the tool or wheel). WARNING: Proper guard must be reinstalled for grinding wheel, cutting wheel, sanding flap disc, wire brush or wire wheel applications after sanding applications are complete. 1. Place or appropriately thread backing pad 19 on the spindle. 2. Place the sanding disc 20 on the backing pad 19 . 3. While depressing spindle lock button 2 , thread the sanding clamp nut 21 on spindle, piloting the raised hub on the clamp nut into the center of san­ding disc and backing pad. 4. Tighten the clamp nut by hand. Then depress the spindle lock button while turning the sanding disc until the sanding disc and clamp nut are snug. 5. To remove the wheel, grasp and turn the backing pad and sanding pad while depressing the spindle lock button. Mounting and Removing Hubbed Wheels (Fig. A) Hubbed wheels install directly on the spindle. Thread of accessory must match thread of spindle. 1. Remove backing flange by pulling away from tool. 2. Thread the wheel on the spindle 1 by hand. 3. Depress the spindle lock button 2 and use a wrench to tighten the hub of the wheel. 4. Reverse the above procedure to remove the wheel.
