d. Check to ensure that the wheel guard is
securely clamped to the spindle neck. If the
guard release/lock latch does not securely
clamp the wheel guard to the spindle neck,
place the wheel guard on the spindle neck,
close the guard release/lock latch, then
tighten the adjustment screw to increase
the clamping tension (Fig. 3). Check it again
and do not proceed until the wheel guard is
properly clamped in place.
To remove the wheel guard:
a. Remove the battery pack from the tool.
b. Open the guard release/lock latch; rotate the
wheel guard until the bumps on the guard
align with the notches on the spindle neck.
c. Lift the wheel guard off the spindle neck.
Grinding Wheel Assembly
Turn the tool OFF and remove the battery pack before performing any assembly. Be sure that
the wheel guard is in place for grinding.
To install the grinding wheel:
a. Remove the battery pack from the tool.
b. Place the backing flange on the spindle. Check to ensure that the backing flange is properly
seated on the spindle. It will click into place on the spindle and will cause the spindle to
rotate when the backing flange is rotated.
c. Place the grinding wheel on the backing flange.
d. Thread the lock nut on the spindle with the flat side of the flange facing outside. Make sure
that the opening in the grinding wheel is positioned around the raised portion of the lock nut
(Fig. 4).
