Positioning the Guard
See Figures 5 - 7, page 15.
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

thrown from the grinding wheel would be directed toward the

shown.
To reposition the guard:
• Remove the battery pack.

shown.
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.
