► Fig.5: 1. Wheel guard 2. Bearing box 3. Screw
WARNING:
• When using a depressed center grinding wheel/
Multi-disc, flex wheel, wire wheel brush, cut-off
wheel or diamond wheel, the wheel guard must
be fitted on the tool so that the closed side of the
guard always points toward the operator.
• When using an abrasive cut-off / 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 dia-
mond wheel, the ordinary guard can be used.
Follow the regulations in your country.)
Mount the wheel guard with the protrusion on the wheel
guard band aligned with the notch on the bearing 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.
