/ abrasive cut-off wheel, diamond
wheel)
WARNING:
When using a depressed center
wheel, flap disc, flex wheel or wire wheel brush,
the wheel guard must be fitted on the tool so that
the closed side of the guard always points toward
the operator.
WARNING:

/ diamond wheel, be sure to use only the special
wheel guard designed for use with cut-off wheels.
(In some European countries, when using a diamond
wheel, the ordinary guard can be used. Follow the
regulations in your country.)
Mount the wheel guard with the protrusions on the
wheel guard band aligned with the notches on the bear-
ing box. Then rotate the wheel guard to such an angle
that it can protect the operator according to work. Be
sure to tighten the screw securely.
To remove wheel guard, follow the installation proce-
dure in reverse.
