GA9 − Installation Lighted Eyeshield (60W)
Wheel Guard
Clamp &
Mounting Screw
Mounting Arm
Baldor GA9 eyeshields are furnished with a mounting arm of round steel which is U−shaped at the
mounting end. The slot in the U bend is sized to accept a screw up to 5/16” diameter. The mounting
arm is held in position with a metal clamp, supplied with the eyeshield as standard equipment.
The Baldor GA−9 eyeshield may readily be mounted onto any make tool grinder, and anywhere
else where a 5/16” or smaller screw can be used to hold the clamp and arm supplied with each
eyeshield as standard equipment. Sketch shows mounting fittings and method of attaching
eyeshield.
The Baldor GA9 eyeshield puts a focused beam of light onto the work. A socket mounted inside the
shield accommodates a standard bulb, 60 watts or less. This bulb is so located that it focuses a
beam of light onto the working face of the grinding wheel, and onto both sides of the wheel. There
are no annoying shadows.

Then, carriage bolt is inserted from inside of guard through mounting holes in guard, and then through slide adjustment arm and clamp. A nut is screwed onto end
of carriage bolt.
