▶ Masonry Cutting Guard
Assembly
A type 27 grinding
wheel guard may not be
used for all tool operations. Do not dis-
card guard when not in use. Always rein-
stall wheel guard when converting back to
grinding operations.
For cutting masonry, gearbox must be ro-
tated relative to the position of the switch
as the tool was assembled at the factory.
▼ Rotate Gearbox
1. Completely unscrew the four screws
between the gear housing and motor
body.
2. Rotate gear housing to the proper ori-
entation without removing motor from
the housing.
a. For the slide switch models (Fig.
17), rotate gear housing 180 de-
grees, so the switch is 90 degrees
from the X-Lock Accessory Mount.
b. For the paddle switch models (Fig.
18), rotate gear housing 90 de-
grees, so the switch is facing the
work piece.
3. After adjusting the position of the gear
housing, screw in and tighten the four
screws.
4. The screw holding the guard release le-
ver is longer than the other screws (Fig.
19), this long screw must stay with the
guard release lever when re-attaching
gear housing for the guard release but-
ton to operate properly.
5. To install proper guard follow instruc-
tions in the next section.
