nOTE:
If the gear case and motor housing become
separated by more than 1/8" (3.17 mm), the tool must

center. Failure to have the tool serviced may motor and
bearing failure.
3. Reinstall screws to attach the gear case to the motor
housing. Tighten screws to 12.5 in.-lbs. torque.
Overtightening could cause screws to strip.
Guards
CAUTION: Guards must be used with all grinding
wheels, cutting wheels, sanding flap discs,
wire brushes, and wire wheels.
The tool may
be used without a guard only when sanding with
conventional sanding discs. Refer to Figure A to see
guards provided with the unit. Some applications may
require purchasing the correct guard from your local
dealer or authorized service center.
nOTE: Edge grinding and cutting can be performed with
Type 27 wheels designed and specified for this purpose;
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 41 wheel and a Type 1 guard.
nOTE:
See the Accessories Chart to select the proper
guard/accessory combination.
Adjusting and Mounting Guard (Fig. F)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
CAUTION: BEFORE operating the tool, identify which
guard adjustment option your tool is set to.
Adjustment Options
For guard adjustment, the guard release lever 9 engages
one of the alignment holes 14 on the guard collar using a
ratcheting feature.
One-touch TM : In this position the engaging face is slanted
and will ride over to the next alignment hole when guard
is rotated in a clockwise direction (spindle facing user) but
self-locks in the counter-clockwise direction.
Mounting guard (Fig. F)
CAUTION: Prior to mounting guard, ensure the screw,
lever, and spring are fitted correctly before mounting
the guard.
1. With the spindle facing the operator, press and hold the
guard release lever 9 .
2. Align the lugs 12 on the guard with the slots 13 on
the gear case cover.
3. Push the guard down until the guard lugs engage
and rotate them in the groove on the gear case cover.
Release the guard release lever.
4. To position the guard, rotate the guard clockwise into
the desired working position. Press and hold the guard
release lever
9 to rotate the guard in the counter-
clockwise direction.
nOTE: The guard body should be positioned between
the spindle and the operator to provide maximum
operator protection.
The guard release lever should snap into one of the
alignment holes
14 on the guard collar. This ensures
that the guard is secure.
5. To remove the guard, follow steps 1–3 of these
instructions in reverse.
