POSITIONING THE GUARD
See Figures 6 - 7, page 13.
The guard on the grinder should be correctly positioned 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. 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 reposition the guard:
Remove the battery pack.
Unlock the guard clasp by pulling the clasp out, away from the grinder.
Rotate the guard to its correct position as shown. Lock the guard clasp by pushing the clasp in.
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.
OPERATING THE GRINDER
See Figure 8, page 13.
Always carefully select and use grinding wheels that are recommended for the material to be ground. Make sure that the minimum operating speed of any accessory wheel selected is 6,500 r/min. or more. The grinding wheel provided with the grinder is suitable for grinding welds, preparing surfaces to be welded, grinding structural steel, and grinding stainless steel.
To operate the grinder:
Secure all work in a vise or clamp to a workbench.
DANGER:
Never use the grinder with the guard removed. It has been designed for use only with the guard installed. Attempting to use grinder with guard removed will result in loose particles being thrown against the operator resulting in serious personal injury.

Turn on the grinder and let the motor and grinding wheel build up to full speed.
Lower the grinder gradually until the grinding wheel contacts the workpiece.
