other than as instructed in thismanual.

• Only attach tool to a lanyard with a locking carabiner. Do

not attach by looping or knotting the lanyard. Do not use

rope orcord.

• Electrical shock hazard. Be sure power is off when working

in high voltage areas. Some lanyards areconductive.

• Dropped tools will swing on the lanyard, which could

cause injury or loss ofbalance.

• Do not carry the tool by attachment device or thelanyard.

• Do not attach more than one tool to eachlanyard.

switches or lock-offs from operatingproperly.

• Avoid getting tangled in thelanyard.

• Keep lanyard away from the cutting area of thetool.

• Do not use lanyards or attachment devices to get

additional leverage from thetool.

• Do not use for personal fallprotection.

• Falling object hazard! Only change accesories and

attachments where a dropped object won't cause a

hazard below you. Consult your AHJ or site supervisor for

procedures for working atheight.

COMPONENTS (Fig. A)



WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part

of it. Damage or personal injury couldresult.

Refer to Figure A at the beginning of this manual for a

complete list ofcomponents.

Features

(DWE43113, DWE43116, DWE43116n excluded)

E-switch Protection™

The ON/OFF trigger switch has a no-volt release function.

In the event of a power outage or other unexpected shut

down, the trigger switch will need to be cycled (turned on

and off) to restarttool.

E-Clutch™

This unit is equipped with an E-Clutch™ (Electronic Clutch),

which in the event of a high-load or wheel pinch, the

unit will be shut off to reduce the reaction torque to the

user. The switch needs to be cycled (turned on and off) to

restarttool.

Power-OFF™ Overload Protection

The power supply to the motor will be reduced in case

of motor overload. With continued motor overload, the

tool will shut off. The switch needs to be cycled (turned

on and off) to restart tool. The tool will power off each

time the current load reaches the overload current value

(motor burn-up point). If continued overload shutdowns

occur, apply less force/weight on the tool until the tool will

function without the overloadengaging.

Electronic Soft Start

This feature limits the initial start up momentum, allowing

the speed to build up gradually over a 1 secondperiod.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS



WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal

injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from

power source before making any adjustments or

removing/installing attachments or accessories.

An accidental start-up can causeinjury.

Attaching Side Handle (Fig.A)



WARNING: Before using the tool, check that the

handle is tightenedsecurely.

Screw the side handle

5

tightly into one of the holes on

either side of the gear case. The side handle should always

be used to maintain control of the tool at alltimes.

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 service center.

nOTE: Edge grinding and cutting can be performed with

Type 27 wheels designed and specified for this purpose;

1/4" (6.35mm) 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
