CAUTION: When using a Type A (cut-off) wheel guard
for facial grinding, the wheel guard may interfere with
the workpiece causing poorcontrol.

CAUTION: When using a Type B (grinding) wheel guard
for cutting-off operations with bonded abrasive wheels,
there is an increased risk of exposure to emitted sparks and
particles, as well as exposure to wheel fragments in the
event of wheelburst.

CAUTION: When using a Type A (cut-off), Type B (grinding)
wheel guard for cutting-off and facial operations in
concrete or masonry, there is an increased risk of exposure
to dust and loss of control resulting inkickback.
NOTE: Edge grinding and cutting can be performed with Type
27wheels designed and specified for this purpose; 6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 A (cut-off) wheel guard must be used for any
wheel where surface grinding is forbidden. A Type A (cut-off)
(previously called type 1/41) wheel guard must be used for for
any dual purpose (combined grinding and cutting-off abrasive)
wheels. Cutting can also be performed by using a Type1/41
wheel and a Type A cut-off wheel guard previously called Type
1/41guard.
NOTE: See the Accessory and Guard Applications Chart to
select the proper guard / accessorycombination.

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.
Adjusting the Guard
For guard adjustment, the guard release lever
11
engages
one of the alignment holes
15
on the guard collar using a
ratchetingfeature.
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
anti-clockwisedirection.
Mounting the Guard (Fig.E)
1. Press the guard release lever
11
.
2. While holding the guard release lever open, align the
lugs
16
on the guard with the slots
18
on the gearcase.
3. Keeping the guard release lever open, 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.
4. With the spindle facing the operator, rotate the guard
clockwise into the desired working position. Press and
hold the guard release lever
11
to rotate the guard in the
anti-clockwisedirection.
NOTE: The guard body should be positioned between
the spindle and the operator to provide maximum
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 authorised servicecentre.
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 3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 2.3Nm torque. Overtightening
could cause screws tostrip.
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
6
tightly into one of the threaded
mounting holes
27
of the gearcase.
To Install the Battery Pack into the Tool Handle
1. Align the battery pack with the rails inside the tool’s
handle(Fig. B).
2. Slide it into the handle until the battery pack is firmly seated
in the tool and ensure that you hear the lock snap intoplace.
To Remove the Battery Pack from the Tool
1. Press the battery release button
14
and firmly pull the
battery pack out of the toolhandle.
2. Insert battery pack into the charger as described in the
charger section of thismanual.
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
28
. 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.
