Step	Action
1	It's important the grinder is always fitted with the guard before use, and (if included in your model), the additional clip-on guard if you are cutting.
2	You must always disconnect the power (battery or chorded) before installing or removing the guard.

Step	Action
1	Disconnect the grinder from power (disconnect battery or power chord).
2	Place the guard on the grinder housing with the grooves aligned (arrow indicators are on the tool and the guard).
3	Once locked in, press the button on the guard to Adjust the guard to the desired position.
4	Pressing the button will allow you to adjust the guard. It's important that the guard is in place to protect the hands of the operator - see below examples:
Note	If your Angle Grinder comes with a clip on guard, it’s important you fit it to your tool before cutting. This will help contain sparks and potential debris while cutting.
5	Clip over the cutting guard attachment onto the Angle Grinder guard.
