2. Depress the spindle lock button and use a wrench to tighten the
hub of the wheel.

MOUNTING NON-HUBBED WHEELS (FIG. 2, 9–10)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
turn tool off and remove the battery pack before making any
adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Depressed center Type 27 and Type 42 grinding wheels must be
used with included flanges. See pages 14 and 15 of this manual
for more information.
1. Install the unthreaded backing flange (G)
on spindle (D) with the raised section
(pilot) against the wheel.
2. Place wheel against the backing flange,
centering the wheel on the raised section
(pilot) of the backing flange.
3. While depressing the spindle lock
button (C), thread the locking flange (H) on
spindle. 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. Refer to Figure 10A and 10B.
4. While depressing the spindle lock button, tighten the threaded
locking flange with a wrench.
5. To remove the wheel, depress the spindle lock button and loosen
