COMPONENTS (FIG. A)

WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part
of it. Damage or personal injury couldresult.
Refer to Figure A at the beginning of this manual for a
complete list ofcomponents.
Intended Use
These heavy-duty small angle grinders have been designed
for professional grinding, sanding, wire brush, and cut-off
applications at various work sites (i.e., construction sites).
DO NOT use under wet conditions or in presence of
flammable liquids orgases.
These heavy-duty small angle grinders are professional
power tools. DO NOT let children come into contact with
the tool. Supervision is required when inexperienced
operators use thistool.
E-Clutch™
This unit is equipped with an E-Clutch™ (Electronic Clutch),
which in the event of a high-load the unit will be shut off to
reduce the reaction torque to the user. The switch needs to
be cycled (turned on and off) to restart tool.
Kickback Brake™
When a pinch, stall, or bind-up event is sensed the
electronic brake engages with maximum force to quickly
stop the wheel, reduce the movement of the grinder, and
shut the grinder off. The switch needs to be cycled (turned
on and off) to restart the tool.
Power-OFF™ OVERLOAD Protection
The power supply to the motor will be reduced in case
of motor overload. With continued motor overload, the
tool will shut off. The switch needs to be cycled (turned
on and off) to restart tool. The tool will power off each
time the current load reaches the overload current value
(motor burn-up point). If continued overload shutdowns
occur, apply less force/weight on the tool until the tool will
function without the overload engaging.
Electronic Soft Start
This feature limits the initial start up speed, allowing the tool
to build up to full speed gradually over a 1 second period.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start-up can causeinjury.
Attaching Side Handle (Fig. D)
The side handle
5
can be fitted to either side of the gear
case in the threaded holes. Before using the tool, check that
the handle is tightened se cure ly.

Rotating the Gear Case (Fig. E)
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 re-assembled by a
DeWALT
service
center. Failure to have the tool serviced may 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
