INSTALLING THE GUARD
WARNING:
The guard must be installed
and properly positioned before installing a
cutting disc or operating the tool.
1.
Pull the guard locking lever (1) outward
from its locked position.
2. Slide the guard mounting clamp (2) over
the guard mount (3) on the tool.
NOTE: Place the detent (4) so it will slide
over the slot (5) in the guard mount.
3.
When the guard clamp is fully slid onto the
guard mount, rotate the guard 180° so it is
positioned at the top of the tool (Fig. 2).
4. Press the guard clamping lever firmly
inward toward the clamp to lock the clamp
onto the tool.
INSTALLING THE CUTTING DISC
WARNING:
Remove the plug from the
power source before installing or removing a
cutting disc.
WARNING:
Make sure the replacement
cutting disc is rated for at least 24,000 RPM and
is in good condition.
1.
Place the spindle wrench (1) on the flat
portion of the spindle (Fig. 3).
2. Insert the 5 mm hex key (2) into the hex
head screw (3).
3. While holding the spindle wrench, turn the
hex screw counter clockwise to remove
both the hex head screw and the flange
washer (4).
4. Slide the cutting disc (5) into the guard (6)
and place it over the spindle shoulder (7)
so it rests flat against the large spindle
flange (8).
5. Reinstall and tighten the flange washer and
hex screw.
NOTE: Make sure the cutting disc is on the
spindle shoulder before tightening the hex
head screw.
WARNING:
Once the hex screw is firmly
tightened, hold the tool so the guard is
between you and the cutting disc and turn
the tool ON. If the cutting disc wobbles or
the tool vibrates, turn the tool OFF
immediately and investigate and correct the
cause.
