Guards
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. Refer to Figure A to see guards provided
with the unit. Some applications may require purchasing
the correct guard from your local dealer or authorized
service centre.
CAUTION: When using a Type A (cut-off) wheel guard
for facial grinding, the wheel guard may interfere with the
workpiece causing poor control.
CAUTION: When using a Type B (grinding) wheel guard
for cutting-off operations with bonded abrasive wheels,
there is an increased risk of exposure to emitted sparks and
particles, as well as exposure to wheel fragments in the
event of wheel burst.
CAUTION: When using a Type A (cut-off), Type B
(grinding) wheel guard for cutting-off and facial
operations in concrete or masonry, there is an increased
risk of exposure to dust and loss of control resulting
in kickback.
nOTE: Edge grinding and cutting can be performed with Type
27 wheels designed and specified for this purpose; 6 mm thick
wheels are designed for surface grinding while thinner Type
27 wheels need to be examined for the manufacturer's label
to see if they can be used for surface grinding or only edge
grinding/cutting. A Type A (cut‑off) wheel guard must be used
for any wheel where surface grinding is forbidden. A Type A
(cut‑off) (previously called type 1/41) wheel guard must be
used for any dual purpose (combined grinding and cutting‑off
abrasive) wheels. Cutting can also be performed by using a
Type 1/41 wheel and a Type A cut‑off wheel guard previously
called Type 1/41 guard.
nOTE: See the Grinding and Cutting Accessory Chart to
select the proper guard / accessory combination.
Adjusting and Mounting Guard (Fig. D, E)
CAUTION: Turn unit off and remove the battery pack
from the tool before making any adjustments or removing
or installing attachments or accessories.
CAUTION: BEFORE operating the tool, be sure to identify
which adjustment option your tool is set to.
adjustment Options
Your grinder offers one‑ and two‑touch options for
guard adjustment.
•
One‑touch: When the slanted side of the guard release
lever
10
is engaged, the guard can be easily repositioned by
rotating it clockwise. The lever does not need to be depressed
to turn the guard.
•
Two‑touch: When the squared side of the guard release
lever
10
is engaged, the guard can be repositioned by
depressing the guard release lever and rotating the guard.

2. Remove the guard release lever. Choose the end of the
lever for the desired adjustment option. One‑touch will
use the slanted end of the lever. Two‑touch will use the
squared end.
3. Replace the lever, positioning the chosen end under the
spring

. Ensure the lever is in proper contact with
the spring.
4. Replace screw.

3. Keeping the guard release lever open, push the guard down
until the guard lugs engage and rotate them in the groove
on the gear case hub. Release the guard release lever.
4. With the spindle facing the operator, rotate the guard
clockwise into the desired working position. The guard body
should be positioned between the spindle and the operator
to provide maximum operator protection.
nOTE: The guard release lever should snap into one of the
alignment holes
17
on the guard collar. This ensures that
the guard is secure.
5. To remove the guard, follow steps 1–3 of these instructions
in reverse.
Flanges and Wheels
Mounting Non‑Hubbed Wheels (Fig. F)
WARNING: Failure to properly seat the flange/ clamp
nut/ wheel could result in serious injury (or damage to the
tool or wheel).
CAUTION: Included flanges must be used with depressed
centre Type 27 and Type 42 grinding wheels and Type
1 and Type 41 cutting wheels. See the accessories Chart
for more information.
WARNING: A closed, two-sided cutting wheel guard is
re quired when using cutting wheels.
WARNING: Use of a damaged flange or guard or fail ure
to use proper flange and guard can re sult in injury due to
wheel breakage and wheel contact. See the accessories
Chart for more information.
1. Place the tool on a table, guard up.
