Assembly and adjustment
WARNING
Risk of injury. Contact with the rotating cut-off wheel can lead to injury. Hot parts of the machine or a hot

▶ Wear protective gloves.
5.2.1
Fitting a cut-off wheel
WARNING
Risk of injury and damage. Unsuitable cut-off wheels or unsuitable parts used to secure the wheel can suffer
irreparable damage during operation or lead to loss of control of the product or breakage of the accessory tool.
▶ Make sure that the cut-off wheel's maximum permissible speed is at least as high as the maximum
spindle speed stated on the product. Use only cut-off wheels, flanges and screws that are suitable for
your product.
▶ Use only cut-off wheels with a mounting hole diameter of 20 mm or 25.4 mm (1") and that are a correct
fit on the centering bushing.
WARNING
Risk of injury and damage. Damaged cut-off wheels may break.
▶ If the cut-off wheel has been subjected to an impact, check the cut-off wheel for damage and replace it
if necessary.
▶ Never use cut-off wheels that are damaged, run untrue or vibrate.
▶ Don't use synthetic resin-bonded fiber-reinforced cut-off wheels which have exceeded their use-by date
or already softened due to water absorption.
WARNING
Risk of injury and damage. Over-tightening securing screws can lead to damage or breakage of the
securing screw itself or the washer fitted to the securing screw.
▶ Be sure to tighten the securing screw to the specified tightening torque.
▶ Take care not to overtighten the securing screw.
WARNING
Risk of injury! Incorrect installation or removal of the cut-off wheel can result in loose parts getting into the
eyes and causing injuries.
▶ Always wear eye protection (protective goggles) when changing the accessory tool.

diameter centering collar on the other side.
6. Clean the clamping and centering surfaces on the product and on the cut-off wheel.
7. Place the cut-off wheel with centering collar on the drive arbor and check that the direction of rotation is
correct.
