NOTE: If the gear case and motor housing become separated
by more than 1/4", the tool must be serviced and re-assembled
by a D
EWALT service center. Failure to have the tool serviced
may cause brush, motor and bearing failure.
4. Re-install screws to attach the gear case to the motor hous-
ing. Tighten screws to 18 in./lbs. torque. Overtightening could
cause screws to strip.
5. Re-install guard and correct flanges for the appropriate acces-
sories.
Accessories
It is important to choose the correct guards, backing pads and
flanges to use with grinder accessories. See pages 6–8 for infor-
mation on choosing the correct accessories.
WARNING: Accessories must be rated for at least the speed
recom mended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other acces-
sories running over rated accessory speed may burst and cause
injury. Threaded accessories must have a 5/8"-11 hub. Every
unthreaded accessory must have a 7/8" arbor hole. If it does not,
it may have been designed for a circular saw and should not be
used. Use only the accessories shown on pages 6–8 of this man-
ual. Accessory ratings must be above listed minimum wheel speed
as shown on tool nameplate.
Mounting Guard
MOUNTING AND REMOVING GUARD
WARNING: 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.
CAUTION: Guards must be used with all grinding wheels, sand-
ing flap discs, wire brushes, and wire wheels. The tool may be used
without a guard only when sanding with conventional sanding discs.
Some DeWALT models are provided with a guard intended for use
with depressed center wheels (Type 27) and hubbed grinding
wheels (Type 27). The same guard is designed for use with sanding
flap discs (Type 27 and 29) and wire brushes. Grinding and cutting
with wheels other than Type 27 and 29 require different accessory
guards not included with tool. Mounting instructions for these
accessory guards are included in the accessory package.
1. Open the guard latch (M). Align the lugs (N) on the guard with
the slots (O) on the gear case.
