Fig. D 5 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. Fig. E 90˚ 90˚ 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; 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 guard must be used for any wheel where surface grinding is forbidden. Cutting can also be performed by using a Type 41 wheel and a Type 1 guard. NOTE: See the Accessories Chart to select the proper guard/accessory combination. Adjusting and Mounting Guard (Fig. F) WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/ English installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury. CAUTION: BEFORE operating the tool, identify which guard adjustment option your tool is set to. Adjustment Options For guard adjustment, the guard release lever 9 engages one of the alignment holes 14 on the guard collar using a ratcheting feature. One-touchTM: In this position the engaging face is slanted and will ride over to the next alignment hole when guard is rotated in a clockwise direction (spindle facing user) but self-locks in the counter-clockwise direction. Mounting Guard (Fig. F) CAUTION: Prior to mounting guard, ensure the screw, lever, and spring are fitted correctly before mounting the guard. 1. With the spindle facing the operator, press and hold the guard release lever 9 . 2. Align the lugs 12 on the guard with the slots 13 on the gear case cover. 3. Push the guard down until the guard lugs engage and rotate them in the groove on the gear case cover. Release the guard release lever. 4. To position the guard, rotate the guard clockwise into the desired working position. Press and hold the guard release lever 9 to rotate the guard in the counter- clockwise direction. NOTE: The guard body should be positioned between the spindle and the operator to provide maximum operator protection. The guard release lever should snap into one of the alignment holes 14 on the guard collar. This ensures that the guard is secure. 5. To remove the guard, follow steps 1-3 of these instructions in reverse.
