POSITIONING THE WHEEL GUARD
See Figures 7 - 11, page 13.
NOTE: The cutting wheel guard and grinding wheel guard
position the same way.

depending on which location the side handle is mounted
and depending on what type of operation you are performing
(cutting or grinding). Never use the tool without a wheel guard
correctly in place or when the index arrows are aligned.

place the wheel guard in the correct location as shown.

 Remove the battery pack.
 Depress lever and rotate the guard to its correct position
as shown.
NOTE: Be sure the raised ridge on the guard is seated in
the groove on the bearing cap. Never use the tool without
a guard in place and properly adjusted.
