Mounting Non-Hubbed Wheels (Fig. E) WARNING: Failure to properly seat the flanges and/or wheel could result in serious injury (or damage to the tool or wheel). CAUTION: Included flanges must be used with depressed center Type 27/42 grinding wheels and Type 1/41 cutting wheels. See the Accessories Chart for more information. WARNING: A closed, two-sided cutting wheel guard is required when using abrasive cutting wheels or diamond coated cutting wheels.

While depressing the spindle lock button and with the hex depressions facing away from the wheel, thread the threaded locking flange 4 on spindle so that the lugs engage the two slots in the spindle. 5. NOTE: If the wheel you are installing is more than 1/8" (3.17 mm) thick, place the threaded locking flange on the spindle so that the raised section (pilot) fits into the center of the wheel. If the wheel you are installing is 1/8" (3.17 mm) thick or less, place the threaded locking flange on the spindle so that the raised section (pilot) is not against the wheel. 4 14 3 1 Mounting Sanding Backing Pads (Fig. F) NOTE: Use of a guard with sanding discs that use backing pads, often called fiber resin discs, is not required.
