be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate
marking. Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss
of power and overheating. These tools are factory tested; if
this tool does not operate, check power supply.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.

Guards
CAUTION: When using a Type A (cut-off), Type B
(grinding) wheel guard for facial grinding, the wheel
guard may interfere with the workpiece causing
poor control.
CAUTION: When using a Type 27/Type B (grinding)
wheel guard for cutting-off operations with bonded
abrasive wheels, there is an increased risk of exposure
to emitted sparks and particles, as well as exposure to
wheel fragments in the event of wheel burst.
CAUTION: When using a Type A (cut-off), Type B
(grinding) wheel guard for cutting-off and facial
operations in concrete or masonry, there is an increased
14
risk of exposure to dust and loss of control resulting
12
in kickback.

NoTE: Edge grinding and cutting can be performed with
Type 27 wheels designed and specified for this purpose;
6 mm thick wheels are designed for surface grinding
while thinner Type 27 wheels need to be examined for the
manufacturer's label to see if they can be used for surface
grinding or only edge grinding/cutting. A Type 1/41/Type A
(cut‑off) wheel guard must be used for any wheel where
surface grinding is forbidden. A Type 1/41/Type A (cut‑off)
(previously called type 1/41) wheel guard must be used
for any dual purpose (combined grinding and cutting‑off
abrasive) wheels. Cutting can also be performed by using
a Type 1/41 wheel and a Type 1/41/Type A cut‑off wheel
guard, previously called Type 1/41 guard.
NoTE: See the Grinding and Cutting Accessory Chart to
select the proper guard/accessory combination.
Mounting and Removing a Fixed Screw Guard
(Fig. B)
1. Place the angle grinder on a table, spindle
2. Align the lugs
3. Press the guard
required position.
4. Securely tighten the screw
5. To remove the guard, slacken the screw.
CAUTION: If the guard cannot be tightened by the
adjusting screw, do not use the tool. To reduce the risk
of personal injury, take the tool and guard to a service
centre to repair or replace the guard.
Mounting Closed (Type A) Guard
1. Open the guard latch. Align the lugs
with the slots
2. Push the guard down until the guard lug engages and
rotates freely in the groove on the gear case hub.
3. Rotate guard into desired working position. The guard
body should be positioned between the spindle and the
operator to provide maximum operator protection.
4. Close the guard latch to secure the guard on the gear
case cover. You should be unable to rotate the guard
by hand when the latch is in closed position. If rotation
is possible, tighten the adjusting screw with the clamp
lever in the closed position. Do not operate grinder with
a loose guard or clamp lever in open position.
