Mounting Non-Hubbed Wheels
Warning! Failure to properly seat the flanges and/or wheel
could result in serious injury (or damage to the tool or wheel).
Warning! Included flanges must be used with depressed
center Type 27 grinding wheels. See the Accessories Chart for
more information.
Warning! Use of a damaged flange or guard or failure to
use proper flange and guard can result in injury due to wheel
breakage and wheel contact. See the Accessories Chart for

u
wheel on the raised center (pilot) of the backing flange.
While depressing the spindle lock button (4) , thread the
u
threaded locking flange (16) on spindle.
Note: If the wheel you are installing is more than 3.17 mm
thick, place the threaded clamp nut on the spindle so that the
raised section (pilot) fits into the center of the wheel. If the
wheel you are installing is 3.17 mm thick or less, place the

gloves when handling wire brushes and wheels. They can
become sharp.
(Original instructions)
Warning! To reduce the risk of damage to the tool, wheel or
brush must not touch guard when mounted or while in use.
Undetectable damage could occur to the accessory, causing
wires to fragment from accessory wheel or cup.
Wire cup brushes or wire wheels install directly on the
threaded spindle without the use of flanges. Use only wire

u
hub of the wire wheel or brush to tighten the wheel.
To remove the wheel, reverse the above procedure.
u
Note: To reduce the risk of damage to the tool, properly seat
the wheel hub before turning the tool on.
