Intended Use Your heavy-duty small angle grinder has 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. Your heavy-duty small angle grinders is a professional power tool. DO NOT let children come into contact with the tool. Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use this tool. Features (DWE43113, DWE43116 excluded) E-switch Protection™ The ON/OFF trigger switch has a no-volt release function. In the event of a power outage or other unexpected shut down, the trigger switch will need to be cycled (turned on and off) to restart tool. E-Clutch™ This unit is equipped with an E-Clutch™ (Electronic Clutch), which in the event of a high-load or wheel pinch, 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. 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 momentum, allowing the speed to build up gradually over a 1 second period. ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury. Attaching Side Handle (Fig. A) WARNING: Before using the tool, check that the handle is tightened securely. Screw the side handle 5 tightly into one of the holes on either side of the gear case. The side handle should always be used to maintain control of the tool at all times. 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 English 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. 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. Adjustment Options For guard adjustment, the guard release lever 7 engages one of the alignment holes 13 on the guard collar using a ratcheting feature. Your grinder offers two options for this adjustment. • 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. • Two-touchTM: In this position the engaging face is straight 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 counter-clockwise direction (spindle facing user).
