between the spindle and the operator to provide maximum oper- ator 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 the latch is in closed position. Do not operate grinder with a loose guard or clamp lever in open position.

NOTE: The guard is pre-adjusted to the diamet-

period of time, the guard becomes loose, tight-

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

1.Remove Soft Mount (F).

2.Install wheel backing flange, aligning flats on spindle (O) with flats on backing flange (R).

3.Place the wheel on the backing flange, centering the wheel on the backing flange pilot.

4.Install the clamp nut, ensuring that the wheel remains centered

5.Depress the spindle lock button and tighten clamp nut with wrench.

6.Reverse the above procedure to remove the wheel.

USING CUTTING WHEELS

1.Allow tool to reach full speed before touching tool to work surface.

2.Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing tool to oper- ate at high speed.

3.Once you begin a cut, maintain the angle of the cutting wheel to the work surface. This will keep you from bending the wheel which could result in wheel breakage and injury.

4.Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before setting it down.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

WARNING: Blowing dust and grit out of the motor housing using clean, dry compressed air is a necessary regular maintenance pro- cedure. Dust and grit containing metal particles often accumulate on interior surfaces and could create an electrical shock or electrocu- tion if not frequently cleaned out. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
