NOTICE: Failure to properly seat the wheel against backing flange before turning the tool on may result in damage to the tool or the wheel

NOTE: Adjust the guard skirt so that only 1/8" (3.17 mm) of the wheel is exposed by loosening the bolts, allowing the guard to lengthen. Tighten the guard skirt bolts securely before using the grinder.

USING A FLARING CUP WHEEL (FIG. 16}

Flaring cup wheels are designed for heavy material removal.

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

surface.FIG.16

2.Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing the tool to operate at high speed.

3.Maintain a 5°to 10°angle between the tool and the work surface.

4.Continuously move the tool in a forward and back motion to avoid creating gouges in the work surface.

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

Cutting wheels include diamond wheels and abrasive discs. Abrasive cutting wheels for metal and concrete use are available. Diamond blades for concrete cutting can also be used. i_ WARNING: A closed, cutting wheel guard is not included with this tool. Cutting wheels require proper flanges and guards. A 7" cutting guard, D284931, is available as an accessory and includes proper, matching flanges. Failure to use proper flange and guard can result in injury resulting from wheel breakage and wheel contacL

MOUNTING CLOSED (TYPE 1) GUARD (FIG. 17, 18)

1.Open the guard latch (I), and align the lugs with slots on the gear case cover. Position the guard facing backward, as shown.

2.Push the guard down until the guard lug engages and rotates freely in the groove on the gear case hub.

3.Rotate guard (G)into 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 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

guard latch in open position.

FIG.18

NOTE: The guard is pre-adjusted to the

 

diameter of the gear case hub at the factory. If,

 

after a period of time, the guard becomes

 

loose, tighten the adjusting screw (J) with the

 

guard latch in the closed position.
