5. OPERATION
USING QUICK GUARD FOR GRINDING
WARNING: The guard type must match the disc type to provide maximum protection for the
operator if the disc should break.
When side grinding and peripheral grinding applications, hold tool at a 15° to 30°, using constant
pressure for a uniform finish. Too great an angle causes concentrated pressure on small areas which
may gouge or burn work surface.
USING QUICK GUARD FOR CUTTING
Quick guard for cutting is suited for small cut-off and shallow notching operations only.
WARNING: The guard type must match the disc type to provide maximum protection for the
operator if the wheel should break.
When using a quick guard for cutting, hold the tool as shown, using only the edge of the disc.
WARNING! Using the face of a disc for cutting will cause the disc to crack and break, resulting in
serious personal injury.
The guard on the grinder should be correctly positioned depending on which side the handle is
mounted. Never use the grinder without the guard correctly in place.
WARNING: Never place the guard so that it is in front of the grinder.
This could result in serious injury because sparks and loose particles thrown from the disc would be
directed toward the operator. Always place the guard in the correct location.
To reposition the guard:
Remove the battery pack.
Unlock the guard clasp by pulling the clasp out, rotate the guard to its correct position, away from
the grinder.
Lock the guard clasp by pushing the clasp in.
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.
