cut-off wheel, diamond wheel)
WARNING:
When using a depressed center wheel,
flap disc, flex wheel or wire wheel brush, the wheel
guard must be fitted on the tool so that the closed side
of the guard always points toward the operator.
WARNING:
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 some European countries, when using a diamond wheel, the
ordinary guard can be used. Follow the regulations in your country.)

Mount the wheel guard with the protrusions on the wheel guard
band aligned with the notches on the bearing box. Then rotate
the wheel guard to such an angle that it can protect the opera-
tor according to work. Be sure to tighten the screw securely.
