Mounting and Using Cutting (Type 1) Wheels

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.

NOTE: All grinders that use Type 1 wheels use the quick-change backing flange (G1).

WARNING: A closed, 2-sided cutting wheel guard is not included with this tool (D28140, D28144, D28144N ONLY) and is required when using cutting wheels. Failure to use proper flange and guard can result in injury resulting from wheel breakage and wheel contact. See page 7 for more information.

MOUNTING CLOSED (TYPE 1) GUARD

WARNING: 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.

3. Rotate guard (I) 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

I

guard on the gear case cover. You

 

should be unable to rotate the guard by

 

hand when the latch is in closed posi-

 

tion. If rotation is possible, tighten the P

 

adjusting screw (P) with clamp lever in

 

the closed position. Do not operate

 

grinder with a loose 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.
