1. Open the guard latch (M). Align
the lugs (N) on the guard with the
slots (O) on the gear case.
2. Push the guard down until the
guard lug engages and rotates
freely in the groove on the gear
case hub.
3. Rotate guard (I) into 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 cover. You should be
unable to rotate the guard by hand when
the latch is in closed position. If rotation is
possible, tighten the adjusting screw (P)
with clamp lever in the closed position.
Do not operate grinder with a loose
guard or clamp lever in open position.
5. To remove the guard, open the guard
latch, rotate the guard so that the
arrows are aligned and pull up on the
guard.
NOTE: If, after a period of time, the guard becomes loose, tighten
the adjusting screw (P) with the clamp lever in the closed position.
CAUTION: Do not tighten adjusting screw with clamp lever in
open position. Undetectable damage to guard or mounting hub
may result.

CAUTION: Matching diameter threaded backing flange and
clamp nut (included with tool) must be used for cutting wheels.
1. Place the unthreaded backing flange on spindle with the raised
section (pilot) facing up. The raised section (pilot) on the back-
ing flange will be against the wheel when the wheel is installed.
2. Place the wheel on the backing flange, centering the wheel on
the raised section (pilot).
3. Install the threaded clamp nut with the raised section (pilot)
facing away from the wheel.
4. Depress the spindle lock button and tighten clamp nut with
a wrench.
5. To remove the wheel, grasp and turn while depressing the
spindle lock button.
USING CUTTING WHEELS
WARNING: Do not use edge grinding/ cutting
wheels for surface grinding applications because
these wheels are not designed for side pres-
sures encountered with surface grinding. Wheel
breakage and injury may result.
1. Allow tool to reach full speed before touch-
ing tool to work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface,
allowing tool to operate at high speed.
Cutting rate is greatest when the tool oper-
ates at high speed.
3. Once a cut is begun and a notch is established in the work-
piece, do not change the angle of the cut. Changing the angle
will cause the wheel to bend and may cause wheel breakage.
4. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off. Allow
the tool to stop rotating before setting it down.
