English minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss of power and overheating. DeWALT tools are factory tested; if this tool does not operate, check power supply. 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. 6 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 DWE43131, DWE43140 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
