King Arthur’s Tools
®
(KAT) is pleased to present the first tandem mounted saw chain
accessories whereby differing combinations of Lancelot
®
and Squire
®
may be paired
together on the same disc grinder.
Our products cut with saw chain teeth and can be dangerous if not used properly.
It is important to read these instructions carefully before proceeding further. You will
be rewarded with an increased knowledge that allows you to safely enjoy the use of
our products and increase your productivity.
Lancelot
®
and Squire
®
are efficient, versatile and highly maneuverable tools designed for
the rapid removal of all kinds of materials – including WOOD, ICE, PLASTIC, PVC, AND
RUBBER. Though primarily designed for the cutting, removal and sculpting of wood,
Lancelot
®
and Squire
®
, whether used singularly or in combination can be used in a multitude
of free form woodworking applications. Some of these include: WOOD CARVING AND
TURNING, REMODELING, LOG HOME & GENERAL CONSTRUCTION, MUSICAL
INSTRUMENT MAKING, SMALL STUMPS REMOVAL, BOWL & ICE CARVING.
INDIVIDUAL & COMBINATION USAGE PRECAUTIONS
1. When used individually, Lancelot
®
and Squire
®
fit most 4" (100mm), 4-1/2" (115mm)
and for the European market only, 125mm disc/angle grinders. Models are available
in M14(14mm), 5/8"(16mm) or 7/8"(22mm) arbor sizes. See Diagram 1 - Model Sizes.
2. Under no circumstances can tandem mounted KAT accessories be used on 4”
(100mm) grinders. When used in a tandem combination, Lancelot
®
can be
matched with another Lancelot
®
or Squire
®
blade but only on 4-1/2” (115mm) or
European market 125mm disc grinders with M14 (14mm) or 5/8” (16mm) threaded
shafts. They can be paired with the same or different tooth configuration, i.e. Lancelot
®
:
22 tooth and 22 tooth (22/22), 22/14, 14/14; Lancelot
®
and Squire
®
: 22/18, 22/12,
14/18, 14/12.
3. The best tandem combination is to match two KAT accessories with M14 (14mm) or 5/8”
(16mm) center holes and the KAT Universal Nut which must be used when using this
dual blade combination. As an added feature, the Universal Nut is specially designed to
easily and safely tighten any other 5/8” (16mm) arbor accessories on your disc grinder.
4. The only other combination is to seat a Lancelot
®
M14 (14mm) or 5/8”(16mm) blade
on the bottom of the threaded shaft with a 7/8” (22mm) on top, using manufacturer’s
flanged 7/8” (22mm) lock nut to secure both blades.

DANGERS OF NOT ADJUSTING SAFETY GUARD: Without the guard reset, it is very
difficult and dangerous to complete the simplest of cuts and no cutting operation must be
attempted. Operating the grinder at 90° forces the user to constantly operate the grinder in
an awkward and unsafe manner for which these accessories were not designed.
METHOD OF ADJUSTMENT: Grinders may have two or three adjustable screws (generally
Phillips) or a single scre
w “clamp” securing the safety guard. As a guide to this procedure,
lay the grinder face up, remove the lock nut(s) and backing plate, loosen screws, turn the
safety guard toward the left and upwards until the bottom of the guard is level with (or as
close to) the bottom of the disc grinder and retighten. Refer CORRECT Diagram.
If you have difficulty adjusting the safety guard, call 1-800-942-1300
or go to our website:
www.katools.com. DO NOT USE LANCELOT
®
OR SQUIRE
®
WITHOUT FIRST ADJUSTING THE SAFETY GUARD.
Q: What happens if I adjust the saf
ety guard underneath the body of the grinder?
A: You will run into a potentially dangerous situation! We cannot overly stress how
important this rule is to adjust the safety guard to the CORRECT
position. Again, THE BOTTOM OF THE SAFETY GUARD MUST BE
AS LEVEL AS POSSIBLE
WITH THE BOTTOM OF THE BODY OF
THE DISC GRINDER. In this position, the SAFETY GUARD WILL
ADJUST BETWEEN THE (APPROX.) ANGLES OF 23° and 45°.
DO NOT position the safety guard UNDERNEATH the Lancelot
®
,
Squire
®
or any tandem combination blades at 225° ± and assume
it is correct. SEE DIAGRAM 3.
If you stupidly turn the grinder on and try to cut
with the top of the cutting blade, dangerous things
could happen, including immediate and severe kickback
which could easily result in serious bodily injury.
Picture this bizarre situation. You buy a motorcycle and the manufacturer asks you to
assemble the wheels
, then fit the fenders over the wheels before you can ride the motorbike.
But you don’t follow instructions correctly! What you do is to assemble the wheels correctly
but incorrectly position the fenders underneath the wheels, not over them. You then turn the
engine on and expect this powerful motorcycle to move
forward. Surprise, surprise - it won’t, but the wheels keep turning freely while the bike is
balanced on the upside down fenders.
Compare this to the angle grinder! If you fit the blades correctly but place the safety
guard underneath the body of the grinder at 225° ±, you can still cut/shape with the top of
the cutting blade albeit, in a very uncomfortable position. But guess what? As soon as the
top of the blade touches wood, you may experience an immediate kickback because it’s
reacting to opposite motor forces compared to shaping with the bottom of the disc (and
operating easily and efficiently) when the safety guard is in the Correct Position.
Very simply, the grinder motor runs in a counter clock wise direction and operating it
incorrectly as described above creates counter centrifugal forces which may be dangerous
to your health! Please follow all directions and use common sense.
