Changing a grinding wheel

ENSURE THAT THE GRINDER IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE

MAINS SUPPLY.

Undo the nuts and bolts that secure the outer shell of the wheel guard to the inner

shell. Remove the outer shell and place it and the nuts, bolts and washers

carefully aside. (See figs 6 & 7)

Fig 6

Loosen the nut holding the grinding wheel to the shaft. Carefully remove the left handed nut, the

plate flange and the soft washer that is clamping the grindstone in place. (See figs 8 & 9) Then,

very carefully remove the grindstone from the shaft, take care that no damage or distortion is

done to the bush (if one is fitted). (See fig 10) Now is a good time to clean out the interior of the

wheel guard, removing any loose or compacted material that may have accumulated. Carefully

inspect the new grinding wheel before it is fitted, check that there are no cracks, and there is no

damage to either the front face or the edges. If required, fit the bush to the grindstone. Carefully

mount the grindstone onto the shaft, reposition the soft washer and the wheel flange, replace the

holding nut and tighten carefully. Do Not Overtighten. Refit the outside shell of the wheel guard

and secure with its nuts and bolts. Refit the tool rest, positioning as in "Setting up the grinder".

Fasten securely.
