MOUNTING AND REMOVING GUARD (FIG. 2, 3)
CAUTION: Guards must be used with all grinding wheels,
cutting wheels, sanding flap discs, wire brushes, and wire
wheels. The tool may be used without a guard only when sanding
with conventional sanding discs. A Type 1 guard (intended for use
with Type 1 cutting wheels and Type 27 wheels marked for cutting
only) is available at extra cost from your local dealer or authorized
service center. Grinding with wheels other than Type 27 and Type 29
require different accessory guards not included with the tool. A
Type 27 guard is provided for use with a 1/4" (6.35 mm) thick, Type
27 wheel.
1. Open the guard latch (M). Align the lugs (K) on the guard with the
slots (L) on the gear case.
2. Push the guard down until the guard lugs
engage and rotate freely in the groove on
the gear case hub.
3. With the guard latch open, rotate the guard
(D) into the 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. You should not be able
to rotate the guard by hand when the latch
is closed. Do not operate the grinder with
a loose guard or the guard latch 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.
