IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT GUARDS
Guards must be used with all grinding wheels, sanding flap discs,
wire brushes and wire wheels. The tool may be used without a
guard only when sanding with conventional sanding discs. D
models D28493, D28494, D28474, and D28476 are provided with a
guard intended for use with depressed center wheels (Type 27), and
hubbed grinding wheels (Type 27). The same guard is designed for
use with sanding flap discs, wire brushes and wire wheels. Grinding
and cutting with wheels other than Type 27 and 29 require different
accessory guards not included with the tool. Mounting instructions
for these accessory guards are included in the accessory package.
CAUTION: When using a grinding wheel with a type 27, 28 or 29
guard, be sure that the bottom surface of the grinding wheel is inside
the guard lip.
