ATTACHING AN ANGLE GRINDER (101100-101400)
1. The rotational gimbal should come attached to the arm as shown below, if the tool has been provided to
FlexArm it will come already mounted.
2. Before inserting the tool into the rotational gimbal, ensure all the mount screws and clamp screws are
loosened up just enough to give the mount forgiveness to slide over the tool.
3. When the tool is inside the clamp the next step is to secure one of the two sets of clamp plates to the tool
 bytighteningdowntheclampscrewswithasnugt;donotcompletelytighten.
4. Next, tighten down the mount screws to a snug position on the previously tightened set of clamp plates.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the second clamp plate.
6. Lastly, completely tighten down the clamp screws (excessive force may cause damage to the tool’s
 housing)andthemountscrewstoasecuret.
Note: Each tool varies, in some cases the clamp plates will have to be completely removed before
the gimbal can be slid over the tool. Please contact a FlexArm specialist with any questions.

ATTACHING AN VERTICAL GRINDER (101100-101400)
1. The rotational gimbal should come attached to the arm as shown below, if the tool has been provided
to FlexArm it will come already mounted.
2. For typical horizontal grinders, FlexArm will attach the mount plate between the four housing bolts on the
tool. FlexArm will provide longer bolts and spacers to accommodate this.
3. First the tool’s current housing bolts need to be removed. Once they are removed the spacers can be
added between the housing and the mount plate then the longer housing bolts can be used to secure
everything back together.
4. Once the mount plate is securely attached to the tool, the tool can be inserted through the gimbal ring and
bolted to it using the four mount screws.
Note: Each tool varies, in some cases the clamp plates will have to be completely removed before
the gimbal can be slid over the tool. Please contact a FlexArm specialist with any questions.

mount plate. Please contact a FlexArm specialist with any questions.
