wheel brush/abrasive cut-off wheel,
diamond wheel)
WARNING:
• When using a depressed center grinding wheel/Multi-
disc, flex wheel or wire wheel brush, the wheel guard
must be fitted on the tool so that the closed side of the
guard always points toward the operator.
• When using an abrasive cut-off/diamond wheel, be
sure to use only the special wheel guard designed for
use with cut-off wheels.
For tool with locking screw type wheel guard (Fig. 4)
Mount the wheel guard with the protrusion on the wheel
guard band aligned with the notch on the bearing box.
Then rotate the wheel guard around 180 degrees
counterclockwise. Be sure to tighten the screw securely.
To remove wheel guard, follow the installation procedure
in reverse.
For tool with clamp lever type wheel guard (Fig. 5 & 6)
Loosen the lever on the wheel guard. Mount the wheel
guard with the protrusion on the wheel guard band aligned
with the notch on the bearing box. Then rotate the wheel
guard around to the position shown in the figure. Tighten
the lever to fasten the wheel guard. If the lever is too tight
or too loose to fasten the wheel guard, loosen or tighten
the nut to adjust the tightening of the wheel guard band.
To remove wheel guard, follow the installation procedure
in reverse.
