EDGE GRINDING
Edge grinding may be done with Type 27
depressed center wheels specifically
designed for this purpose. These wheels
are available locally. They must not be
subjected to side pressure. CAUTION:
Wheels used for edge grinding may break
if they bend or twist while being used for
cut-off work or deep grinding. To reduce
the risk of serious injury, limit the use of
these wheels to shallow cutting and
notching (less than 1/2" in depth). The
open side of the guard must be positioned
away from the operator.

REMOVING THE WHEEL GUARD

As shown in Fig. 7, place the grinder on a
table, spindle up. Use a screwdriver to
remove the 3 screws (1). Remove the
flange (2), guard (3) and spring washer
(4). Store these parts carefully.
