ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING:

The angle grinder should never be connected to a power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, performing main- tenance, or when the tool is not in use. Discon- necting the tool will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious injury.

Adjusting the Guard

See Figures 4, 5, and 6.

The guard on your grinder should be correctly installed depending on which side the handle is mounted. Never use your grinder without the guard correctly in place.

WARNING:

Never place the guard so that it is on front of the grinder as shown in Figure 6. This could result in serious injury because sparks and loose particles thrown from the grinding wheel would be directed toward the operator. Always place the guard in the correct location as shown.

Follow these steps to adjust the guard.

Unplug the grinder.

Loosen the clamp screw until you can remove the guard.

Rotate the guard to its correct position as shown.

Tighten the clamp screw securely.

Note: Be sure the raised ridge on the guard is seated in the groove on the bearing cap. Never use the grinder without the guard in place and properly adjusted.
