CHANGING AND CARE OF CUTTING DISCS

WARNING: BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE, ENSURE THE PLUG

HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY.

CHANGING THE CUTTING DISC

Replacement 355 mm cutting discs part no: 6470800 (for metal) are available

from your Clarke dealer. Discs for cutting stone are part no: 6470760.

IMPORTANT: Ensure the disc is rated above the rated speed of the machine.

1. Disconnect the power

supply and with the

arm fully raised, move

the hinged guard fully

back.

• This will leave the

disc retaining bolt

exposed.

2. Turn the cutting disc by

hand until the spindle

engages the spindle

lock and holds it in

position.

3. Using the 8mm hex.

wrench, undo and

remove the abrasive disc retaining bolt, followed by the washer and

retaining disc. Finally, carefully remove the cutting disc.

4. Reassemble in reverse order, ensuring the cutting disc and retaining disc

are correctly mounted on the flats of the shaft with the retaining disc and

washer oriented as shown. Take care not to over tighten the centre bolt.

5. Always run the machine for 30 seconds and check for vibration when a

new disc is fitted.

HANDLING AND STORING CUTTING DISCS

Handle cutting discs carefully. Avoid dropping or bumping. Do not roll a disc

on its edge. Do not pile other items such as tools on top of cutting discs. Store

discs in racks or bins with dividers for different types of discs and ensure easy

access and less handling. Never store cutting discs near excessive heat or

cold, in contact with water, oil or moisture, nor in drawers with loose tools.
