WARNING: Burn Hazard. Sharp parts. ALWAYS wear
gloves when changing wheels. Wheels have sharp
edges or may get extremely hot during operation, and
may damage bare hands.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, only use wheels
that are no greater than 3" (76 mm) in diameter, have
an inner diameter of 3/8" (or 7/16" if using adapter
ring), and without cutting teeth. Thickness of wheel not
to exceed 0.09" (2.2 mm). Never force a wheel onto the
machine or alter the size of the arbor hole.
WARNING: Since accessories, other than those
offered by PORTER-CABLE, have not been tested with
this product, use of such accessories with this tool
could be hazardous. To reduce the risk of injury, only
PORTER-CABLE recommended accessories should be
used with this product.
WARNING: Failure to properly seat the flanges and/
or wheel could result in serious injury (or damage to the
tool or wheel).
1. Remove the battery.

in place.
nOTE: Hex wrench is magnetically secured.
nOTE: It is possible that the inner flange and outer
flange may stick together. Be sure to keep both flanges
seperated during the wheel installation process. Refer
to Fig. F2 showing the correct order of the flanges and
wheel installed over the spindle.
5. Ensure inner flange is installed over the spindle.
nOTE: Your tool comes provided with a 7/16" arbor
adapter
17
which should only be used when installing
a 7/16" wheel. The 7/16" arbor adapter is not to be used
with the wheels provided with this tool. When installing
7/16" wheels, place the 7/16" arbor adaptor over the
inner flange. The 7/16" arbor adapter will fit inside the
center of the 7/16" wheel when assembled. Refer to
Fig. F1.
6. Slip wheel over spindle. Make sure wheel goes over pilot
diameter of inner flange.
nOTE: When installing diamond wheels, always match
direction of rotation of the wheel to the desired direction
of rotation of the tool.
7. Slip on outer flange with the flat side towards the wheel.

Adjusting the Rotatable Guard Angle (Fig. G)
WARNING: Remove battery first. To reduce the risk
of injury, ALWAYS adjust the guard to provide the
best control and protection. ALWAYS wear gloves to
protect your hands when adjusting the guard as the
guard may get hot.
WARNING: Adjust the position of the guard to provide
the maximum protection from loose particles and
sparks thrown from the wheel.
CAUTION: Guard must be used with all cutting wheels.
