GUARD REPLACEMENT
See Figure 9, page 15.
After extended use, the guard may become worn and need
adjustment or replacing. Or, if you drop the grinder and dam-
age the guard, it may be necessary to replace it.
To replace the guard:
Unplug the grinder.
Depress spindle lock button and rotate flange nut with
provided wrench until spindle locks.
NOTE: To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle lock,
always allow motor to come to a complete stop before
engaging spindle lock.
Using the wrench provided, loosen and remove flange nut,
grinding wheel, and disc flange from spindle if necessary.
Unlock the guard clamp lever.
Remove the guard.
Place the new guard on the shoulder of the bearing cap,
aligning the arrow with the slot on the bottom of the
grinder.
NOTE: If the new guard will not fit, loosen the clamp screw
until it will slide over the bearing cap. Be sure the tabs on
the guard are seated in the groove in the bearing cap.
Rotate guard to the correct position. Refer to Positioning
the Guard earlier in this manual.
Lock the guard clamp lever.
Reinstall grinding wheel. Refer to Installing Grinding
Wheel earlier in this manual.

MAINTENANCE
BRUSH ASSEMBLIES
See Figure 10, page 15.
The grinder has externally accessible brush assemblies that
should periodically be checked for wear.
To replace brushes:
Unplug the grinder.
Remove brush cap with a screwdriver. Brush assembly is
spring loaded and will pop out when you remove brush
cap.
Remove brush assembly (brush and spring).
Check for wear. If worn, always replace in pairs. Do not
replace one side without replacing the other.
Reassemble using new brush assemblies. Make sure
curvature of brush matches curvature of motor and that
brush moves freely in brush tube.
Make sure brush cap is oriented correctly (straight) and
replace.
Tighten brush cap securely. Do not overtighten.
