1. Open the guard latch (M). Align | O |
the lugs (N) on the guard with the |
|
slots (O) on the gear case. |
|
2. Push the guard down until the |
| |
guard lug engages and rotates | N | |
freely in the groove on the gear | ||
| ||
case hub. |
|
3. Rotate guard (I) into desired | M | |
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 cover. You should be |
| |
unable to rotate the guard by hand when | I | |
the latch is in closed position. If rotation is | ||
| ||
possible, tighten the adjusting screw (P) |
| |
with clamp lever in the closed position. |
| |
Do not operate grinder with a loose | P | |
guard or 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: If, after a period of time, the guard becomes loose, tighten the adjusting screw (P) with the clamp lever in the closed position.
CAUTION: Do not tighten adjusting screw with clamp lever in open position. Undetectable damage to guard or mounting hub may result.
MOUNTING CUTTING WHEELS
CAUTION: Turn off and unplug the tool before making any adjustments or removing or installing attachments or acces- sories. Before reconnecting the tool, turn the switch on and off as previously described to ensure that the tool is off.
CAUTION: Matching diameter threaded backing flange and clamp nut (included with tool) must be used for cutting wheels.
1.Place the unthreaded backing flange on spindle with the raised section (pilot) facing up. The raised section (pilot) on the back- ing flange will be against the wheel when the wheel is installed.
2.Place the wheel on the backing flange, centering the wheel on the raised section (pilot).
3.Install the threaded clamp nut with the raised section (pilot) facing away from the wheel.
4.Depress the spindle lock button and tighten clamp nut with a wrench.
5.To remove the wheel, grasp and turn while depressing the spindle lock button.
USING CUTTING WHEELS
WARNING: Do not use edge grinding/ cutting wheels for surface grinding applications because these wheels are not designed for side pres- sures encountered with surface grinding. Wheel breakage and injury may result.
1. Allow tool to reach full speed before touch- ing tool to work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing tool to operate at high speed. Cutting rate is greatest when the tool oper- ates at high speed.
3.Once a cut is begun and a notch is established in the work- piece, do not change the angle of the cut. Changing the angle will cause the wheel to bend and may cause wheel breakage.
4.Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before setting it down.
