performed by using a Type 1 wheel and a Type 1 guard.
OPERATION
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and
disconnect it from power source before installing and removing
accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
Guards and Flanges
It is important to choose the correct guards and flanges to use with
the grinder accessories. See page 9–10 and this page for the correct
accessories.
NOTE: Edge grinding and cutting can be performed with Type 27
wheels designed and specified for this purpose.
WARNING: Accessories must be rated for at least the speed
recom mended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other
accessories running over rated accessory speed may burst and
cause injury. Every unthreaded accessory must have a 7/8" arbor
hole. If it does not, it may have been designed for a circular saw and
should not be used. Use only the accessories shown on pages 9–10.
Accessory ratings must be above listed minimum wheel speed as
shown on tool nameplate.
Switches
CAUTION: Hold the side handle and body of the tool firmly to
maintain control of the tool at start up and during use and until the
wheel or accessory stops rotating. Make sure the wheel has come to
a complete stop be fore laying the tool down.

tool on or off while under load conditions. Allow the grinder to run
up to full speed before touching the work surface. Lift the tool from
