WARNING:
•
When using a depressed center grinding
wheel/Multi-disc, flex wheel, wire wheel brush,
cut-off wheel or diamond wheel, the wheel guard
must be fitted on the tool so that the closed side of
the guard always points toward the operator.
•
When using an abrasive cut-off / diamond wheel,
be sure to use only the special wheel guard
designed for use with cut-off wheels. (In European
countries, when using a diamond wheel, the
ordinary guard can be used.)
Mount the wheel guard with the protrusion on the wheel
guard band aligned with the notch on the bearing box.
Then rotate the wheel guard to such an angle that it can
protect the operator according to work. Be sure to tighten
the screw securely.
To remove wheel guard, follow the installation procedure
in reverse.
