Masonry Cutting Guard
Assembly
A type 27 grinding wheel
guard may not be used for
all tool operations. Do not discard guard when
not in use. Always reinstall wheel guard when
converting back to grinding operations.
For cutting masonry, gearbox must be rotated
relative to the position of the switch as the tool
was assembled at the factory.
Rotate Gearbox:
1. Completely unscrew the four screws be-
tween the gear housing and motor body.
2. Rotate gear housing to the proper orienta-
tion without removing motor from the hous-
ing.
a. For the Slide Switch models (Fig. 17, 2a),
rotate gear housing 180 degrees, so the
Side Switch (2a) is 90 degrees from the
X-Lock Accessory Mount.
b. For the Paddle Switch models (Fig. 18,
2), rotate gear housing 90 degrees, so
the Paddle Switch (2b) is facing the work
piece.
3. After adjusting the position of the gear hous-
ing, screw in and tighten the four screws.
4. The screw holding the Guard Release Lever
(11) is longer than the other screws (Fig.
19), this long screw must stay with the
Guard Release Lever (11) when re-attaching
gear housing for the Guard Release Lever
(11) to operate properly.
5. To install proper guard follow instructions in
the next section.
