OPERATION

POSITIONING THE GUARD

See Figures 7 - 10.

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

WARNING:

Never place the guard so that it is in front of the grinder as shown in figure 7. 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.

To adjust the guard:

Remove battery from the grinder.

Unlock the guard clasp by pulling the clasp out, away from the grinder.

Rotate the guard to its correct position as shown.

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.

ROTATING FOOT

See Figure 11.

The foot of the grinder can be rotated up to 270° to the left for easier access to hard to reach areas. Stops are located at 90°, 180°, and 270°.
