TUCKPOINTING
GUARD ASSEMBLY
moved. Retain Type 27 guard for future
use. Always reinstall Type 27 wheel guard
when converting back to grinding operations.
To improve ergonomics of your grinder when
cutting masonry, gearbox must be rotated rel-
ative to the position of the switch as the tool
was assembled at the factory.
Rotate gearbox (Fig. 2):
1. Unplug tool from power source.
2. Completely unscrew the four screws be-
tween the gear housing and motor body.
NOTE: Retain guard release lever with
spring for reassembling gear housing in
step 4.
3. Rotate gear housing to the proper orienta-
tion without removing motor from the hous-
ing.
a. For the slide switch models, rotate gear
housing 180 degrees in the direction in-
dicated in Fig. 3a, so the switch is 90 de-
grees from the spindle.
b. For the paddle switch models, rotate gear
housing 90 degrees in the direction indi-
cated in Fig. 3b, so the switch is facing the
work piece.
4. Screw in and tighten the three short screws
you removed.
5. The screw holding the quick release lever
is longer than the other screws, this long
screw must stay with the quick release le-
ver when re-attaching gear housing for the
quick release button to operate properly.
6. Attach proper dust collection guard with foot
and accessory.
