and concrete use are available. Diamond blades for concrete cutting can also be used.
WARNING:
wheels. Fail ure to use proper flange and guard can re sult in injury resulting from wheel
breakage and wheel contact. See page 9 for more information.
MOUNTING CLOsED (TYPE 1) GUARD
WARNING:
performing the following operations. Failure to do this could result in serious
personal injury.
1. Open the guard latch (10), and align the arrow on the guard (9) with the arrow on the
hub (11). This will align the lugs with slots on the gear case cover. Position the guard
facing backward.
2. Push the guard down until the guard lug engages and rotates freely in the groove on
the gear case hub.
3. Rotate guard (9) into 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 cover. You should be
unable to rotate the guard by hand when the latch is in closed position. Do not
operate grinder with a loose guard or clamp lever 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.
NOTE: The guard is pre-adjusted to the dia met er of the gear case hub at the factory. If,
after a period of time, the guard becomes loose, tighten the adjusting screw (12) with the
clamp lever in the closed position with guard installed on the tool.
CAUTION:
Do not tighten adjusting screw with clamp lever in open position.
Undetectable damage to guard or mounting hub may result.
MOUNTING CUTTING WhEELs
WARNING:
performing the following operations. Failure to do this could result in serious
personal injury.
CAUTION:
Matching diameter threaded backing flange and clamp nut (included
with tool) must be used for cutting wheels.
1. Place the unthreaded backing flange on spindle with the raised section (pilot) facing
up. The raised section (pilot) on the backing flange will be against the wheel when
the wheel is installed.
2. Place the wheel on the backing flange, centering the wheel on the raised section (pilot).
3. Install the threaded clamp nut with the raised section (pilot) facing away from the wheel.
4. Depress the spindle lock button and tighten clamp nut with included wrench.
5. To remove the wheel, grasp and turn the wheel while depressing the spindle lock button.
UsING CUTTING WhEELs
WARNING:
applications because these wheels are not designed for side pressures encountered
with surface grinding. Wheel breakage and injury may result.
1. Allow tool to reach full speed before touching tool to work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing tool to operate at high speed.
Cutting rate is greatest when the tool operates at high speed.
3. Once a cut is begun and a notch is established in the workpiece, do not change the
angle of the cut. Changing the angle will cause the wheel to bend and may cause
wheel breakage.
4. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off. Allow the tool to stop
rotating before setting it down.
A closed, 2-sided cutting wheel guard is re quired when using cutting
To prevent accidental operation, turn off and unplug tool before
