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 (12) with latch in the closed position
and guard installed on the tool.
Do not tighten the adjusting screw with the
latch in the open position. Undetectable
damage to the guard or the mounting hub
may result. If the guard cannot be tightened
by the guard latch, do not use the tool and
take the tool and guard to a service center
to repair or replace the guard.
NOTE
:
Edge grinding and cutting can be
performed with Type 27 wheels designed and
specified for this purpose; 1/4 inch (6mm)
thick wheels are designed for surface grinding
while 1/8 inch (3mm) wheels are designed for
edge grinding. Cutting can also be performed
by using a Type 1 wheel and a Type 1 guard.
