POSITIONING THE GUARD
See Figures 5 - 6, pages 13 and 14.
The guard on the grinder should be correctly positioned
depending on which side the handle is mounted. Never use
the grinder without the guard correctly in place.
WARNING:
Never place the guard so that it is in front of the grinder.
This could result in serious injury because sparks and
loose particles thrown from the grinding wheel would be
directed toward the operator. Always place the guard in
the correct location as shown.
To reposition the guard:
 Remove the battery pack.
 Unlock the guard by holding the latch and pulling away
from the grinder.
 Rotate the guard to its correct position as shown.
 Lock the guard by pushing in until latch clicks into place.
NOTE: Be sure the raised ridge on the guard is seated
in the groove on the bearing cap. Never use the grinder
without the guard in place and properly adjusted.
OPERATING THE GRINDER
See Figure 7, page 14.
Always carefully select and use grinding wheels that are
recommended for the material to be ground. Make sure
that the minimum operating speed of any accessory wheel
selected is 9,000/min. or more. The grinding wheel provided
with the grinder is suitable for grinding welds, preparing
surfaces to be welded, grinding structural steel, and grinding
stainless steel.
To operate the grinder:
 Secure all work in a vise or clamp to a workbench.
DANGER:
Never use the grinder with the guard removed. It has been
designed for use only with the guard installed. Attempt-
ing to use grinder with guard removed will result in loose
particles being thrown against the operator resulting in
serious personal injury.
 Hold the grinder in front and away from you with both
hands, keeping the grinding wheel clear of the workpiece.
