CHANGING THE GRINDING WHEEL (CONT.) (FIG. 13)

5. Replace the grinding wheel with a new grinding wheel that has a speed rating higher than 3450 RPM. The outer

diamter of the wheel should be 8 inches and the arbor size should be 5/8 of an inch. Do not remove labels from the

grinding wheels.

6. Once the wheel has been replaced, re-attach the outer ﬂange and the arbor hex nut.

Caution: Do not overtighten the nut, or use an impact driver to tighten. This can cause damage to the grinding

wheels, which could cause personal injury.

7. Replace the wheel cover and secure with the bolts and knobs. Replace the work rest assemblies. Make sure all

guards, shields and work rests are correctly positioned before operation.

USING A WIRE OR BUFFING WHEEL

A wire or bufﬁng wheel can be installed onto either side of the grinder as needed. The WEN 858WW 8-Inch Crimped

Benchtop Steel Wire Wheel is compatible with your bench grinder. Accessories and replacement parts can be pur-

chased on wenproducts.com.

More spacers may be required when using wire wheels, depending on the wheel’s thickness. NOTE: The ﬁrst spacer

should always go onto the arbor shaft, between the innermost wheel ﬂange and the body of the grinder. If needed, a

second spacer should go between the outermost wheel ﬂange and the arbor hex nut. Always use the included wheel

ﬂanges even if using a wire or a bufﬁng wheel.

STORAGE

Store the bench grinder and the grinding wheels to prevent them from the potential hazards of moisture, contain-

ments and other damage.
