TO POSITION THE WHEEL GUARD
The Model 7425 and 7429 Grinders come with a TYPE 27 wheel guard
installed. To adjust:
Always use an approved and properly adjusted wheel guard.
DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
Turn the wheel guard in a clockwise
direction until it is in a position that
places the guard between the operator
and the grinding wheel (or other
accessory requiring a guard). (See Fig.
5).
Always make sure that the wheel guard is positioned between
the operator and the wheel, so that flying chips or pieces of a wheel that
might break will be deflected away from the operator.
