Turn to the bottom of the device and remove the 5/8" (17mm) T15 Torx screw.

Edit

Step 2

Remove bottom casing by separating the end handle away from the main casing.

Edit

Step 3

Remove the 1/2” (13mm) Phillips #2 screw holding the power cable to the device. This will free up the metal clamp holding the cable in place.

Edit

Step 4

Flip the grinder over and disconnect the plastic switch mechanism from the cable housing.

Edit

Step 5

Pull back the yellow tab holding the housing in place using a nylon spudger. Carefully pull the housing out of the casing.

Edit

Step 6

Locate the terminals with the two white cables attached and disconnect both.
These cables are connected to the outer terminals; connect as such during reassembly.

Edit

Step 7

Remove the entirety of the cable housing from the device casing.
The two wires coming from the power cable should still be connected to electrical housing at this point.

Edit

Step 8

Loosen the Phillips #2 screws enough to disconnect the two wires from the power cable housing.
Removing the screw entirely is fine, but unnecessary since the screws are merely clamping down the wires' ends.
