The guard is pre-adjusted to
the diameter of the gear case hub at the
factory. If, after a period of time, the guard
becomes loose, tighten the adjusting
screw (10) with latch in the closed position
and guard installed on the tool.
CAUTION:
Do not tighten the
adjusting screw with the latch in the open
position. Undetectable damage to the
guard or the mounting hub may result. If
the guard cannot be tightened by the guard
latch, do not use the tool and take the tool
and guard to a service center to repair or
replace the guard.
NOTE
:
Edge grinding and cutting can be
performed with Type 27 wheels designed
and specified for this purpose; 1/4" (6.35
mm) thick wheels are designed for surface
grinding while thinner Type 27 wheels need
to be examined for the manufacturer's
label to see if they can be used for surface
grinding or only edge grinding/cutting.
A Type 1 guard must be used for any
wheel where surface grinding is forbidden.
Cutting can also be performed by using a
Type 1 wheel and a Type 1 guard.
