• Do not overtighten wheel clamp nut. This may crack the grinding wheel.

avoid inhalation and minimize skin contact.

Motor
Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. 120 Volts, 50/60 Hz means
alternating current only should be used to operate this tool.A power decrease of more than
10% will cause loss of power and overheating. All DeWalt tools are factory tested; if this
tool does not operate, check the power supply
Bench Mounting
1. The grinder should be unplugged.
2. Remove the drilling template from this manual (pg. 5) and place it in position of the
bench. Check for the availability of power for the grinder. Tape the template to the
bench.
3. Using a center punch, transfer the hole centers for drilling.
4. Drill appropriate sized holes.
5. Insert 1/4" (6mm) Hex head bolts through washers and the holes. You may want to use
washers on the underside of the bench as well.
6. Tighten the nuts. Do not overtighten. Allow the rubber feet to absorb the vibration when
the grinder is running.
Installing Tool Rests

Your grinder includes a hex wrench, attached to the right of the On/Off switch. Use this
wrench when installing the tool rest brackets, tool rest and eye shield brackets.
First install the tool rest brackets, as shown in Fig. 2. Next attach the tool rests. Use the
bolts, washers, spacers and lock nuts from the plastic bag to secure the brackets and tool
rests in place.

The combination spark guard and eye shield brackets are assembled and in a plastic bag.
They are identified L for left and R for right. Refer to Figure 3 to install them to the bench
grinder using the two screws in the wheel guard (in some cases these screws will be in the
plastic bag). Adjust the edge of the spark guard to within 1/16" of the grinding wheel or
other accessory as shown in the figure. Tighten the two screws securely.
Installing Eye Shields
TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY.
Remove the steel strip from the top surface of each eye shield by removing the two screws.
Install the shields, (they are identical and will fit either side) to the brackets, as shown in
Fig. 4. Tighten screws securely. Adjust eye shields so they are between the wheels and
your eyes.
EYE SHIELDS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO REPLACE SAFETY GLASSES.
Tighten the shields in place by tightening the plastic knob in the bracket assembly. Remove
protective paper cover.
