Dust Ejection System (Fig. A)
The dust ejection system 10
the guard and motor inlet, and minimises the amount of dust
entering the motor housing.
Soft Start Feature
DWE4206, DWE4207, DWE4217, DWE4227, DWE4237,
DWE4238, DWE4257
The soft start feature allows a slow speed build-up to avoid an
initial jerk when starting. This feature is particularly useful when
working in confined spaces.
No-Volt
DWE4206, DWE4207, DWE4217, DWE4227, DWE4237,
DWE4238, DWE4257
The No-volt function stops the grinder restarting without the
switch being cycled if there is a break in the power supply.
Electronic Clutch
DWE4227, DWE4257
The electronic torque limiting clutch reduces the maximum
torque reaction transmitted to the operator in case of jamming
of a disc. This feature also prevents the gearing and electric
motor from stalling. The torque limiting clutch has been factory-
set and cannot be adjusted.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power source
before making any adjustments or removing/installing

Guards

CAUTION: Guards must be used with all grinding
wheels, cutting wheels, sanding flap discs, wire brushes,
and wire wheels. 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.

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 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.
Adjusting and Mounting Guard (Fig. C, D)

CAUTION: Turn unit off and unplug the tool before making
any adjustments or removing or installing attachments
or accessories.

CAUTION: BEFORE operating the tool, identify which guard
adjustment option your tool is set to.

feature. Your grinder offers two options for this adjustment.
• One-touch : In this position the engaging face is slanted and
TM

in a clockwise direction (spindle facing user) but self-locks in the
anti-clockwise direction.
• Two-touch : In this position the engaging face is straight
TM
and squared off. It will NOT ride over to the next alignment
hole unless guard release lever is pressed and held while
simultaneously rotating the guard in either a clockwise or anti-
clockwise direction (spindle facing user).
