DeWalt DW802G Instruction Manual page 13

WARNING: A closed, 2-sided cutting wheel guard is not included
with this tool but is required when using cutting wheels. Failure to
use proper flange and guard can result in injury resulting from wheel
breakage and wheel contact. See page 7 for more information.
MOUNTING CLOSED (TYPE 1) GUARD
CAUTION: Turn off and unplug the tool before making any
adjustments or removing or installing attachments or acces-
sories. Before reconnecting the tool, depress and release the
paddle switch to ensure that the tool is off.
1. Open the guard latch (J), and align the
arrow on the guard (K) with the arrow
on the hub (L). This will align the lugs
with slots on the gear case cover.
Position the guard facing backward.
2. Push the guard down until the guard lug
engages and rotates freely in the
groove on the gear case hub.
3. Rotate guard (I) into desired working
position. The guard body should be
positioned between the spindle and the
operator to provide maximum operator
protection.
4. Close the guard latch to secure the
guard on the gear case cover. You
should be unable to rotate the guard by hand when the latch is
in closed position. Do not operate grinder with a loose guard or
clamp lever in open position.
5. To remove the guard, open the guard latch, rotate the guard so
that the arrows are aligned and pull up on the guard.
NOTE: The guard is pre-adjusted to the diameter of the gear case
hub at the factory. If, after a period of time, the guard becomes
loose, tighten the adjusting screw (M)
with the clamp lever in the closed
position.
CAUTION: Do not tighten adjust-
ing screw with clamp lever in open
position. Undetectable damage to
guard or mounting hub may result.
MOUNTING CUTTING WHEELS
CAUTION: Turn off and unplug the tool before making any
adjustments or removing or installing attachments or acces-
J
sories. Before reconnecting the tool, depress and release the
paddle switch to ensure that the tool is off.
CAUTION: Matching diameter threaded backing flange and
clamp nut (included with tool) must be used for cutting wheels.
1. Place the unthreaded backing flange on spindle with the raised
L
section (pilot) facing up. The raised section (pilot) on the backing
flange will be against the wheel when the wheel is installed.
K
2. Place the wheel on the backing flange, centering the wheel on
the raised section (pilot).
3. Install the threaded clamp nut with the raised section (pilot)
facing away from the wheel.
4. Depress the spindle lock button and tighten clamp nut with
a wrench.
I
5. To remove the wheel, grasp and turn while depressing the
spindle lock button.
USING CUTTING WHEELS
WARNING: Do not use edge grinding/cutting wheels for surface
grinding applications because these wheels are not designed for
side pressures encountered with surface grinding. Wheel breakage
and injury may result.
1. Allow tool to reach full speed before touching tool to work
surface.
