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;
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 guard must
be used for any wheel where surface grinding is forbidden.
Cutting can also be performed by using a Type41 wheel and
a Type 1guard.
NOTE: See the Accessories Chart to select the proper guard/
accessorycombination.
Adjusting and Mounting Guard(Fig.F)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start‑up can causeinjury.
CAUTION: BEFORE operating the tool, identify which
guard adjustment option your tool is setto.
Adjustment Options
For guard adjustment, the guard release lever
9
engages
one of the alignment holes
14
on the guard collar using a
ratchetingfeature.
• One-touch
TM
: In this position the engaging face
is slanted and will ride over to the next alignment
hole when guard is rotated in a clockwise direction
(spindle facing user) but self-locks in the counter-
clockwisedirection.
Mounting Guard (Fig. F)
CAUTION: Prior to mounting guard, ensure the screw,
lever, and spring are fitted correctly before mounting
theguard.
1. With the spindle facing the operator, press and hold the
guard release lever
9
.
2. Align the lugs
12
on the guard with the slots
13
on the
gearcasecover.
2. Without separating the gear case from motor housing,
rotate the gear case head to desiredposition.
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.
Rotating the Gear Case (Fig. E)
To improve user comfort, the gear case will rotate 90° for
cuttingoperations.
1. Remove the four corner screws attaching the gear case to
motorhousing.
Attaching the Auxiliary Handle (Fig. D)
WARNING: This handle SHOULD BE USED AT ALL
TIMES to maintain complete control of the tool.
Always make sure the handle istight.
Screw the auxiliary handle
5
tightly into one of the threaded
mounting holes of the gearcase.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start‑up can causeinjury.
Features
E-Switch Protection™
The ON/OFF paddle switch has a no-volt release function. In
the event of an unexpected shut down, the paddle switch
will need to be released then depressed to restarttool.
E-Clutch™
This unit is equipped with an E-Clutch™ (Electronic Clutch),
which in the event of a high-load, the unit will shut off to
reduce the reaction torque to the user. The paddle switch will
need to be released then depressed to restarttool.
Kickback Brake™
When a pinch, stall, or bind-up event is sensed, the electronic
brake engages with maximum force to quickly stop the
wheel, reduce the movement of the grinder, and shut the
grinder off. The paddle switch will need to be released then
depressed to restarttool.
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 paddle switch will need to be released then
depressed to restarttool. 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 overloadengaging.
Electronic Soft Start
This feature limits the initial start up momentum, allowing
the speed to build up gradually over a 1 secondperiod.
at least 1” (25.4mm) long, with a screw head diameter of
0.28–0.35” (7–9mm), screwed into wood to an optimal
depth leaving approximately 7/32” (5.5 mm) of the screw
exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the
exposed screws and fully engage them in theslots.
