Features
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 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 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.
Anti‑vibration Side Handle
The anti‑vibration side handle offers added comfort by
absorbing the vibrations caused by thetool.
Soft Start Feature
The soft start feature allows a slow speed build‑up to avoid an
initial jerk when starting. This feature is particularly useful when
working in confinedspaces.
No‑Volt
The No‑volt function stops the grinder restarting without the
switch being cycled if there is a break in the powersupply.
Electronic Clutch
The electronic torque limiting clutch reduces the maximum
torque reaction transmitted to the operator in case of jamming
of a disc. This feature also prevents the gearing and electric
motor from stalling. The torque limiting clutch has been
factory‑set and cannot beadjusted.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack

is fullycharged.
To Install the Battery Pack into the Tool
Handle
1. Align the battery pack
9
with the rails inside the tool’s
handle (Fig.B).

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 batterypack.
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 berecharged.
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‑userapplication.
Attaching Side Handle (Fig. C)
WARNING: Before using the tool, check that the handle is
tightenedsecurely.
Screw the side handle
11
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 alltimes.
Rotating the Gear Case (Fig. A)
To improve user comfort, the gear case will rotate 90° for
cuttingoperations.
1. Remove the four corner screws attaching the gear case to
motorhousing.
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 3.17 mm, the tool must be serviced and
re‑assembled by a DeWALT service center. Failure to have the
tool serviced may lead to motor and bearingfailure.
3. Reinstall screws to attach the gear case to the motor
housing. Tighten screws to 12.5 Nm 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
