To remove the wheel, insert one hex wrench into the end
of the spindle and another hex wrench into the end of the
output shaft. Turn the hex wrench in the output shaft
clockwise while securely holding the hex wrench in the
spindle so that the wheel cannot revolve. Pull the output
shaft out from the wheel. Move the wheel slightly away
from the spindle and remove the wheel from the tool.
NOTE:
The output shaft has a left hand thread.
To install the wheel, follow the removal procedures in
reverse. When installing it, be sure to align the notches in
the wheel with the pins on the spindle.

Connecting to dust collector

004570
The use of a dust collector makes sanding operations
clean and dust collection easy. To connect a dust
collector, open the dust port by sliding the cover plate up
and in a clockwise direction. Attach the joint onto the dust
port. Now a dust collector can be connected to this tool.
CAUTION:
When not using a dust collector, close the dust port
opening with the cover plate.
OPERATION
12
004571
Hold the tool firmly with both hands on the handle and the
grip in front. Place the tool on the workpiece surface and
move the tool gently forward and backward while
applying slight downward pressure.
CAUTION:
The tool should not be in contact with the workpiece
surface when you turn the tool on or off. Damage to
the tool or the workpiece surface and injury to the
operator may result.
Apply slight downward pressure only. Excessive
pressure may decrease tool efficiency, shorten
wheel service life and possibly gouge the
workpiece surface.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection
or maintenance.
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
