COMBINATION OF APPLICATIONS AND
ACCESSORIES
Optional accessory
CAUTION:
Using the tool with incorrect guards can cause risks as follows.
• When using a cut-off wheel guard for facial grinding, the wheel guard may interfere with the work-
piece causing poor control.
• When using a grinding wheel guard for cutting-off operations with bonded abrasive wheels and dia-
mond wheels, there is an increased risk of exposure to rotating wheels, emitted sparks and particles,
as well as exposure to wheel fragments in the event of wheel burst.
• When using a cut-off wheel guard or grinding wheel guard for facial operations with cup-type dia-
mond wheels, the wheel guard may interfere with the workpiece causing poor control.
• When using a cut-off wheel guard or grinding wheel guard with a wheel-type wire brush with a thick-
ness greater than the maximum thickness as specified in "SPECIFICATIONS", the wires may catch on
the guard leading to breaking of wires.
Remove the dust cover attachment from inhalation vent
and clean it for smooth air circulation.
