ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS


WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories. An

Rotating the Gear Case (Fig. C)
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
reassembled by a D WALT service center. Failure to have the
e
tool serviced may lead to 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
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.
