Wire Wheels
Type 27 guard
3" wire cup
brush
CAUTION: Guards must be used
with all grinding wheels, sanding
flap discs, wire brushes, and wire
wheels. The tool may be used without
a guard only when sanding with
conventional sanding discs. Some
D WALT models are provided with a
E
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 brushes. Grinding and cutting with wheels
other than Type 27 and 29 require different accessory guards not
included with tool. Mounting instructions for these accessory
guards are included in the accessory package.

1. Open the guard latch (M). Align the lugs (N) on the guard with
the slots (O) on the gear case.
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 (I) into the 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. 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
clamp lever in open position.
