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.

If, after a period of time, the guard becomes
loose, tighten the adjusting screw (M) with

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.
