Important Safety Instructions
No person should attempt to operate this machine without rst being trained in the operation of industrial cutting and grind-
ing tools. These instructions are not intended as a substitute for training experience. The operator must observe safeguards
that include, but are not limited to, the following:
• DO NOT MODIFY ANY MACHINE FROM IT’S ORIGINAL DESIGN WITHOUT THE WRITTEN PERMISSION OF THE MANUFACTUR-
ER. UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOURSELF OR OTHERS.
• DO NOT use any blade marked for less than 8,500 RPM.
• DO NOT service the machine or change cup wheel or grinding disk without rst disconnecting the power.
• DO NOT install a blade before inspecting the part for damage.
• DO NOT operate with a damaged blade. A damaged blade may y apart and cause serious injury or death.
• DO NOT use a blade that wobbles when mounted.
• Verify blade is correct for application before use.
• Verify blade rotation matches the direction arrow on the grinder motor.
• DO NOT apply power to the machine before spinning the blade by hand to check alignment.
• DO NOT operate with any loose nuts or bolts. Check all nuts and bolts for tightness.
• DO NOT operate without appropriate eye, ear, foot, hand, and breathing protection.
• DO NOT operate around any loose or foreign objects that may damage the system.
• DO NOT operate if arbor shaft has excessive end play.
• DO NOT cut material that the blade is not designed for.
• DO NOT operate machine near combustible material or fumes.
• DO NOT operate without appropriate dust collection system.
• DO NOT force blade through material to be ground. Always ease blade through material.
Tuc-Pointer Operating Instructions
Mounting The Tuc-Pointer Shroud
1. Place dust shroud and adaptor around the grinder arbor.
2. Hose nozzle should be at upper right (when looking down on grinder)
3. Slowly tighten the 5 set screws on the adaptor ring in small increments. Make sure that the spacer washer is centered
around the blade nut. Tightening one screw all the way down before the other two may cause interference.
Using the Tuc-Pointer
1. Move the unit in the forward direction to get best results. Always have the nose of the unit pointed downward. Maximum
suction is at the front of the vacuum housing.
2. Guide the unit by observing progress through the semi-circular cut out on the side of the guard. Wear all safety equipment
when using the Tuc-Pointer.
3. DO NOT use the Tuc-Pointer system for picking up loose matter, the unit was designed to pick up concrete dust ONLY.
Changing The Blade
Disassembly
1. Remove the 2 bolts which retain the depth adjustment shoe.
2. Remove the nut that holds the housing cover and remove the housing.
3. The arbor nut will unscrew counter clockwise, push the locking button on the grinder to hold the shaft in a locked position.
4. The arbor of the blade you are using is 7/8”. This is the only size which will work.(7/8” adapters, if securely positioned, will
allow 1” arbor to adapt to the 7/8” shaft.
Assembly
1. Ensure the replacement blade is capable of turning at a rate of 8,500 RPM, or the rated grinder speed, whichever is
greater.
2. There is a directional arrow on all diamond blades. Make sure the blade is put on to turn in the proper direction. (This is
an up-cut saw, the direction of rotation is marked on the grinder.)
3. Tighten the arbor nut.
4. Replace the housing and secure the depth adjustment shoe, then secure tightly with nuts and bolts.
