Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)
Some
DeWALT
battery packs include a fuel gauge which
consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of
charge remaining in the batterypack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button.
A combination of the three green LED lights will illuminate
designating the level of charge left. When the level of charge
in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not
illuminate and the battery will need to berecharged.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on
the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is
subject to variation based on product components, temperature
and end-userapplication.
Attaching Side Handle (Fig.C)

WARNING: Before using the tool, check that the handle is
tightenedsecurely.
Screw the side handle adapter
12
into one of the holes on
either side of the gear case, then screw the side handle
11
into
the adapter. The adapter MUST be used together with the
side handle. If the adapter is missing, stop using the tool, find a
nearest
DeWALT
service centre for a newadaptor.
The side handle should always be used to maintain control of
the tool at alltimes.
Rotating the Gear Case (Fig. A)
To improve user comfort, the gear case will rotate 90° for
cuttingoperations.
1. Remove the four corner screws attaching the gear case to
motorhousing.
2. Without separating the gear case from motor housing,
rotate the gear case head to desiredposition.
NOTE: If the gear case and motor housing become separated
by more than 3.17 mm, the tool must be serviced and
re-assembled by a
DeWALT
service centre. Failure to have the
tool serviced may motor and bearingfailure.
3. Reinstall screws to attach the gear case to the motor
housing. Tighten screws to 12.5 in.-lbs. torque.
Overtightening could cause screws tostrip.
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centre.
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 Type41 wheel and a Type 1guard.
NOTE: See the Accessory Chart to select the proper guard /
accessorycombination.
Adjusting and Mounting Guard (Fig. D)

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 causeinjury.
