NOTE: Edge grinding and cutting can be performed with Type 27 wheels designed and specified for this purpose; 1/4" (6.35 mm) thick wheels are designed for surface grinding while 1/8" (3.17 mm) wheels are designed for edge grinding. Cutting can also be performed by using a Type 1 wheel and a Type 1 guard.

OPERATION

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

Guards and Flanges

It is important to choose the correct guards and flanges to use with the grinder accessories. See page 910 and this page for the correct accessories.

NOTE: Edge grinding and cutting can be performed with Type 27 wheels designed and specified for this purpose.

WARNING: Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories running over rated accessory speed may burst and cause injury. Every unthreaded accessory must have a 7/8" arbor hole. If it does not, it may have been designed for a circular saw and should not be used. Use only the accessories shown on pages 9–10. Accessory ratings must be above listed minimum wheel speed as shown on tool nameplate.
