MOUNTING GUARD (FIGURES B & C)
CAUTION: Guards must be used with all grinding wheels, sanding flap discs,
wire brushes cut-off wheels and wire wheels. The tool may be used without a guard
only when sanding with conventional sanding discs. The PC60TCTAG 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. PC60TAG is provided with a Type 27 grinding guard only. A Type 1 guard for use
with cut off wheels is available separately at additional cost.
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 (7), 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 (7) 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.
