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 (10) with latch in the closed position
and guard installed on the tool.
CAUTION:
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" (6.35 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 guard must
be used for any wheel where surface
grinding is forbidden. Cutting can also be
performed by using a Type 1/41 wheel
and a Type 1/41 guard.
