CAUTION: Guards must be used with all grinding wheels,
cutting wheels, sanding flap discs, wire brushes, and wire
wheels. The tool may be used without a guard only when sanding
with conventional sanding discs.
1. Open the guard latch. Align the lugs on the guard with the slots
on the gear case.
2. Push the guard down until the guard lugs engage and rotate freely
in the groove on the gear case hub.
3. With the guard latch open, rotate the guard into the 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. You
should not be able to rotate the guard by hand when the latch
is closed. Do not operate the grinder with a loose guard or the
guard latch in open position.

that the arrows are aligned and pull up on the guard.
