Sanding Assembly
A type 27 wheel guard may
not be used for all tool op-
erations. Do not discard guard when not in use.
Always reinstall wheel guard when converting
back to grinding operations.
Confirm proper clamping by
ensuring that top of the ac-
cessory X-Lock Mounting Hub surface is not
above the top of the Clamping Height Gage. Ac-
cessories that are above the clamping height
gage may not be fixed properly and separate
from the the tool causing personal injury and/or
property damage.
The Hand Shield is to be used with backing
pads, sanding discs and wire brushes to keep
fingers and hand away from work surface, sharp
edges, burs and debris. When using the Hand
Shield accessory, insert side handle through
hole in shield and then thread into housing (Fig.
5). Ensure that hand shield is positioned be-
tween hand and backing pad, sanding disc or
wire brush.
To install backing pad and sanding disc:
1. Inspect Hand Shield (Fig. 14, 6) to ensure
that it is properly attached to the grinder.
2. Place the Backing Pad onto the X-Lock Ac-
cessory Mount with the rectangular open-
ings positioned around the X-Lock Clamp-
ing Tabs.
3. Center the Sanding Disc on top of the
Backing Pad and align the rectangular
cut-outs with the Clamping Tabs on the X-
Lock Accessory Mount.
4. Align the X-Lock Clip with the slots in
the Sanding Disc. Insert the X-Lock Clip
through the Sanding Disc and apply pres-
sure to it, until it is fully engaged by the
Clamping Tabs, which will be indicated by
an audible "click".
5. To remove the sanding assembly from the
grinder, follow instructions for Mounting
and Removing X-Lock Accessories starting
