MOUNTING GUARD (FIGURES B & C)
wire brushes cut-off wheels and wire wheels. The tool may be used without a guard
CAUTION: Guards must be used with all grinding wheels, sanding flap discs,
only when sanding with conventional sanding discs. The FME820 is provided with a guard
intended for use with depressed center wheels (Type 27) and hubbed grinding wheels
(Type 27). The same guard is designed for use with sanding flap discs (Type 27 and 29)
and wire cup brushes. Grinding and cutting with wheels other than Type 27 and 29 require
different accessory guards. A Type 1 guard is provided for use with a Type 1 wheel.
Both Type 27 and Type 1 guards attach and are removed in the same way as
described below.
1. Figure B - Open the guard latch (8a), and align
the lugs on the guard (8) with the slots on the
gear case cover (9).
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 into the
desired working position. The guard body should
be positioned between the spindle and the
operator to provide maximum operator protection.
4. Figure C - Close the guard latch (8a) 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 lugs and slots are aligned
and pull up on the guard.

ADJUSTING THE GUARD (FIGURE D)
Note: The guard is pre-adjusted to the diameter of the gear
case hub at the factory. If, after a period of time, the guard
becomes loose, tighten the adjusting screw (10) with latch in
the closed position and guard installed on the tool.
CAUTION: Do not tighten the adjusting screw with the
latch in the open position. Undetectable damage to the
guard or the mounting hub may result.
CAUTION: If the guard cannot be tightened by the guard
latch, do not use the tool and take the tool and guard to a
service center to repair or replace the guard.
Note: Edge grinding and cutting can be performed with Type 27 wheels designed and
specified for this purpose; 1/4 inch (6mm) thick wheels are designed for surface
grinding while 1/8 inch (3mm) wheels are designed for edge grinding. Cutting can also
be performed by using a Type 1 wheel and a Type 1 guard.
