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
Type1/41 wheel and a Type 1/41guard.
NOTE: See the Accessories Chart to select the proper guard
/ accessorycombination.
Adjusting and Mounting Guard (Fig. F, G)

CAUTION: Turn unit off and unplug the tool before
making any adjustments or removing or installing
attachments oraccessories.

CAUTION: BEFORE operating the tool, identify which
guard adjustment option your tool is set to.
Adjustment Options
For guard adjustment, the guard release lever
10
engages
one of the alignment holes
17
on the guard collar using
a ratcheting feature. Your grinder offers two options for
thisadjustment.
• 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 counterclockwisedirection.
• Two-touch
TM
: In this position the engaging face is
straight and squared off. It will NOT ride over to the next
alignment hole unless guard release lever is pressed
and held while simultaneously rotating the guard in
either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction (spindle
facinguser).
Setting Guard Adjustment Options
To adjust the guard release lever
10
for desired
adjustmentoption:
1. Remove screw
14
using a T20bit.
2. Remove the guard release lever taking note of the spring
position. Choose the end of the lever for the desired
adjustment option. One‑touch will use the slanted end
of the lever
10
to engage the alignment holes
17
on
the guard collar. Two‑touch will use the squaredend to
engage the alignment holes
17
on the guardcollar.
3. Replace the lever, positioning the chosen end under the
spring
13
. Ensure the lever is in proper contact with
thespring.
4. Replace screw and torque to 2.0‑3.0N‑m. Ensure proper
installation with spring return function by depressing
guard release lever
10
.
Mounting Guard (Fig.G)

CAUTION: Prior to mounting guard, ensure the screw,
lever, and spring are fitted correctly before mounting
theguard.
1. With the spindle facing the operator, press and hold the
guard release lever
10
.
2. Align the lugs
15
on the guard with the slots
16
on the
gearcase.
3. Push the guard down until the guard lugs engage and
rotate them in the groove on the gear case hub. Release
the guard releaselever.
Rotating the Gear Case (Fig.E)
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 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 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center.
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
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 istight.
Screw the auxiliary handle
5
tightly into one of the threaded
mounting holes of the gearcase.
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 causeinjury.
Wall Mounting
Some
DeWALT
chargers are designed to be wall mountable
or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall mounting,
locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and
away from a corner or other obstructions which may impede
air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template for the
location of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount the
charger securely using drywall screws (purchased separately)
at least 1” (25.4mm) long, with a screw head diameter of
0.28–0.35” (7–9mm), 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 theslots.
