NOTE: If the gear case and motor housing become
separated by more than 1/8" (3.17 mm), the tool must
be serviced and re-assembled by a
DEWALT
service
center. Failure to have the tool serviced may motor and
bearingfailure.
3. Reinstall screws to attach the gear case to the motor
housing. Tighten screws to 12.5 in.-lbs. torque.
Overtightening could cause screws tostrip.
Guards
CAUTION: Guards must be used with all grinding
wheels, cutting wheels, sanding flap discs,
wire brushes, and wire wheels. The tool may
be used without a guard only when sanding with
conventional sanding discs. Refer to Figure A to see
guards provided with the unit. Some applications may
require purchasing the correct guard from your local
dealer or authorized servicecenter.
NOTE: Edge grinding and cutting can be performed with
Type 27 wheels designed and specified for this purpose;
1/4" (6.35 mm) thick wheels are designed for surface
grinding while thinner Type 27 wheels need to be examined
for the manufacturer's label to see if they can be used for
surface grinding or only edge grinding/cutting. A Type 1/41
guard must be used for any wheel where surface grinding
is forbidden. Cutting can also be performed by using a
Type1/41 wheel and a Type 1/41guard.
NOTE: See the Accessories Chart to select the proper guard
/ accessorycombination.
