An extension cord must have adequate wire size
for safety. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
When using more than one extension to make up the
total length, 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 smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.

Guards
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. Refer to Figure A to see
guards provided with the unit. Some applications may
require purchasing the correct guard from your local
dealer or authorized service center.
NoTE: Edge grinding and cutting can be performed with
Type 27 wheels designed and specified for this purpose;
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
guard must be used for any wheel where surface grinding
is forbidden. Cutting can also be performed by using a
Type 41 wheel and a Type 1 guard.
NoTE: See the Accessories Chart to select the proper guard
/ accessory combination.
Adjusting and Mounting Guard (Fig. C, D)
CAUTION: Turn unit off and unplug the tool before
making any adjustments or removing or installing
attachments or accessories.
CAUTION: BEFORE operating the tool, identify which
guard adjustment option your tool is set to.
