POSITIONING THE WHEEL GUARD
See Figures 8 - 12, pages 13 and 14.
NOTE: The procedure for positioning the wheel guard is the
same with or without the guard insert attached.
The wheel guard on the tool should be correctly positioned
depending on which location the side handle is mounted
and depending on what type of operation you are performing
(cutting or grinding). Never use the tool without a wheel guard
correctly in place or when the index arrows are aligned.
WARNING:
Never place the wheel guard so that it is in front of the
tool. This could result in serious injury because sparks
and loose particles thrown from the grinding or cutting
wheel would be directed toward the operator. Always
place the wheel guard in the correct location as shown.
To adjust the wheel guard:
 Remove the battery pack.
 Depress lever and rotate the guard to its correct position
as shown.
NOTE: Be sure the raised ridge on the guard is seated in
the groove on the bearing cap. Never use the tool without
a guard in place and properly adjusted.
GRINDING WITH THE TOOL
See Figure 13, page 14.
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 9,200/min. or more. The grinding wheel provided
with the tool is suitable for grinding welds, preparing surfaces
to be welded, grinding structural steel, and grinding stainless
steel.
