POSITIONING THE WHEEL GUARD
See Figures 6 - 7, pages 12.
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 per-
forming (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 guard so that it is in front of the grinder.

the correct location as shown.

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.
