lugs engage and can rotate freely into
the groove on the gear case hub.
3. With the guard latch open, rotate the
guard (F) into the desired working
position. The guard body should be
positioned between the spindle and the
operator to provide maximum operator
protection.
4. Close the guard latch to secure the
guard on the gear case. You should
not be able to rotate the guard by
hand when the latch is closed. Do not
operate the grinder with a loose guard or with the guard latch in
open position.

NOTE: The guard is pre-adjusted to the

diameter of the gear case hub at the factory.
If, after a period of time, the guard becomes
loose, tighten the adjusting screw (P) with
guard latch in the closed position with guard
installed on the tool.
CAUTION: Do not tighten the adjusting
screw with the guard latch in the open
position. Undetectable damage to the guard
or the mounting hub may result.
CAUTION: If the guard cannot be tightened by the adjusting
clamp, do not use the tool. To reduce the risk of personal injury, take
the tool and guard to a service center to repair or replace the guard.
NOTE: Edge grinding and cutting can be performed with
Type 27 wheels designed and specified for this purpose; 1/4"
(6.35 mm) thick wheels are designed for surface grinding while 1/8"
(3.17 mm) wheels are designed for edge grinding. Cutting can also be
performed by using a Type 1 wheel and a Type 1 guard.
