Installing or removing wheel guard

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.)

For depressed center wheel, flap disc, 

flex wheel, wire wheel brush / abrasive 

cut-off wheel, diamond wheel

While pushing the lock lever, mount the wheel guard 

with the protrusions on the wheel guard aligned with the 

notches on the bearing box, and then rotate the wheel 

guard until the wheel guard is locked in place.
