guard (I) into the desired working
position. The guard body should be
positioned between the spindle and the

that the arrows are aligned and pull up on the guard.
NOTE: The guard is pre-adjusted to the
diameter of the gear case hub at the
factory. If, after a period of time, the guard
becomes loose, tighten the adjusting
screw (N) with clamp lever in the closed
position with guard installed on the tool.
CAUTION: Do not tighten the adjusting
screw with the clamp lever in the open position. Undetectable
damage to the guard or the mounting hub may result.
CAUTION: If the guard cannot be tightened by the adjusting
clamp, do not use the tool. To reduce the risk of personal injury,
take the tool and guard to a service center to repair or replace the
guard.

Type 27 wheels designed and specified for this purpose; 1/4"
(6.35 mm) thick wheels are designed for surface grinding while 1/8"
(3.17 mm) wheels are designed for edge grinding. Cutting can also be
performed by using a Type 1 wheel and a Type 1 guard.
