| 2 | You must always disconnect the power (battery or chorded) before installing or removing the guard. |
To fit the guard:
REMOVE BATTERY OR DISCONNECT FROM POWER

|---|---|
| 1 | Disconnect the grinder from power (disconnect battery or power chord). |

| 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. |
