the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is
subject to variation based on product components, temperature
and end-user application.

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 D
WALT service centre. Failure to have the

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.
