Accessories
It is important to choose the correct guards, backing pads and flanges to use with
grinder accessories. Refer to pages 12 and 13 for information on choosing the
correct accessories.
WARNING: Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recom mended on the
tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories running over their rated accessory
speed may fly apart and cause injury. Threaded accessories must have a 5/8"-11
hub. Every unthreaded accessory must have a 22.2 mm (7/8") arbor hole. If it does
not, it may have been designed for a circular saw. Use only the accessories shown on
pages 12 and 13 of this manual. Accessory ratings must always be above tool speed
as shown on tool nameplate.
Mounting Guard
MOUNTING AND REMOVING GUARD (FIG. 4)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.
CAUTION: Guards must be used with all grinding
wheels, cutting wheels, sanding flap discs, wire
brushes, and wire wheels. The tool may be used
without a guard only when sanding with conventional
sanding discs. A Type 27 guard (intended for use
with depressed center grinding wheels [Type 27 and
Type 29], sanding flap discs, wire wheels and wire
cup brushes) is available at extra cost from your local
dealer or authorised service centre. Grinding and
cutting with wheels other than Type 27 and 29 require
different accessory guards not included with tool. A
Type 1 guard is provided for use with the Type 1 wheel.
Mounting instructions for accessory guards are shown
below and are also included in the accessory package.
1. Open the guard latch (K), and align the lugs (L) on the guard with the slots on
the gear case (M). This will align the lugs on the guard with the slots on the gear
case cover.
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.
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 diameter of
the gear case hub at the factory. If, after a period of
FIG. 4
time, the guard becomes loose, tighten the
L
adjusting screw (N) with clamp lever in the closed
position with guard installed on the tool (Fig. 5).
CAUTION: Do not tighten the adjusting
screw with the clamp lever in the open position.
Undetectable damage to the guard or the mounting
hub may result.
M
CAUTION: If the guard cannot be tightened by
K
the adjusting clamp, do not use the tool. To reduce
the risk of personal injury, take the tool and guard
to a service centre to repair or replace the guard.
NOTE: Edge grinding and cutting can be performed with Type 27 wheels designed
and specified for this purpose; 6.35 mm (1/4") thick wheels are designed for surface
grinding while 3.17 mm (1/8") wheels are designed for edge grinding. Cutting can
also be performed by using a Type 1 wheel and a Type 1 guard.
