ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
The angle grinder should never be connected to a
power supply when you are assembling parts, mak-
ing adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance,
or when the tool is not in use. Disconnecting the
tool will prevent accidental starting that could cause
serious injury.
Adjusting the Guard
See Figures 4, 5, and 6.
The guard on your grinder should be correctly installed de-
pending on which side the handle is mounted. Never use
your grinder without the guard correctly in place.
WARNING:
Never place the guard so that it is on front of the
grinder as shown in Figure 6. This could result in
serious injury because sparks and loose particles
thrown from the grinding wheel would be directed
toward the operator. Always place the guard in the
correct location as shown.
Follow these steps to adjust the guard.
n� Unplug the grinder.
n Loosen the clamp screw until you can remove the
guard.
n Rotate the guard to its correct position as shown.
n Tighten the clamp screw securely.
Note: Be sure the raised ridge on the guard is
seated in the groove on the bearing cap. Never use
the grinder without the guard in place and properly
adjusted.
