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 and sanding flap discs.
The tool may be used without a guard only when
sanding with conventional sanding discs. 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;
1/4" (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.
Adjustment Options
For guard adjustment, the guard release lever
9
engages
one of the alignment holes
15
on the guard collar using a
ratchetingfeature.
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, align the guard
parallel to the mounting slot
13
ingearcase.
2. Slide the guard into the mounting slot with the guard
tabs
14
riding along the 2 flat sides of the collar just
above the mountingslot.
3. Press and hold the guard release lever
9
and rotate
the guard around until the lever engages one of the
alignmentholes
15
.
4. Release the guard releaselever.
5. To position the guard:
Press and hold the guard release lever
9
. Rotate the
guard clockwise or anti-clockwise into the desired
working position.
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
15
on the guard collar. This ensures
that the guard issecure.
6. To remove the guard, follow steps 1–3 of these
instructions inreverse.

Flanges and Wheels

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start-up can causeinjury.
Mounting Non-Hubbed Wheels (Fig. G)

WARNING: Failure to properly seat the flanges and/or
wheel could result in serious injury (or damage to the
tool or wheel).

CAUTION: Included flanges must be used with
depressed center Type 27/42 grinding wheels and
Type1/41 cutting wheels. See the Accessories Chart
for moreinformation.

WARNING: A closed, two-sided cutting wheel guard
is required when using abrasive cutting wheels or
diamond coated cuttingwheels.

WARNING: Use of a damaged flange or guard or
failure to use proper flange and guard can re sult in
injury due to wheel breakage and wheel contact. See
the Accessories Chart for moreinformation.
All grinding wheels must use included flanges. Refer to
Accessories Chart for moreinformation.
1. Install the backing flange
6
on spindle
4
with the
raised section (pilot) against the wheel. Be sure the
backing flange recess is seated onto the flats of the
spindle by pushing and twisting the flange before
placingwheel.
2. Place wheel
16
against the backing flange, centering
the wheel on the raised section (pilot) of the
backingflange.
3. While depressing the spindle lock button, thread the
locking flange
7
on spindle. If the wheel you are
installing is more than 3.0 mm (1/8") thick, place the
locking flange on the spindle so that the raised section
(pilot) fits into the center of the wheel. If the wheel you
are installing is 3.0 mm (1/8") thick or less, place the
locking flange on the spindle so that the raised section
(pilot) is not against thewheel.
4. While depressing the spindle lock button, tighten the
locking flange
7
by hand or using the wrench supplied.
(Only use a locking flange if it is in perfect condition.)
Refer to Accessories Chart to see flangedetails.
