the wheel you are installing is more than

1/8" (3.31 mm) thick, place the threaded

EDGE GRINDING WITH GRINDING WHEELS (FIG. 10)

CAUTION: Wheels used for cutting and FIG. 10 edge grinding may break if they bend or twist

while the tool is being used to do cut-off work

or deep grinding. To reduce the risk of serious injury, limit the use of these wheels with a standard Type 27 guard to shallow cutting and notching (less than 1/2" in depth).

The open side of the guard must be positioned

away from the operator. For deeper cutting with a Type 1 cut-off wheel, use a closed, Type 1 guard. See the chart on page 10 for

more information. Type 1 guards are available at extra cost from your local dealer

or authorized service center.

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