3.Seat the guard on the mounting flange. Rotate the guard to a position that will place the guard between the

any other accessory requiring a guard). Tighten the clamp screw (A) Fig. 3 to secure the guard in proper position for the grinding application (see Fig. 4).

Always make sure that the wheel guard is positioned between the operator and the wheel, so that flying chips or pieces of a wheel that might break will be deflected away from the operator (see Fig. 4).
