Fitting and Removing the Guard DW830
(Fig. 1 & 1A)
A guard is not required when using the tool for sanding with the
backing pad. To fit the guard for other applications:
1. Align the lug on the guard with the slot in the bracket fixed to the
base of the gear case (Fig. 1).
2. Press the guard down toward the gear case, and then rotate the
guard in the direction of the arrow (Fig. 1A).
3. In this position, the guard locking pin located in the slot prevents the
guard from coming loose, but allows rotation through 105°.
To remove the guard:
1. Place the tool upside down on a flat surface.
2. Hold the tool, and using your thumb, rotate the guard in the
direction of the arrow (Fig. 2). At the same time, using a screwdriver
or other pointed instrument, press the locking pin in the slot so the
lug on the guard comes into view (Fig. 3).
3. The locking pin does not hold the guard, and the guard can be
pushed free.
