Dewalt DWE46144N Instruction Manual - Page 9

Your heavy-duty cut off tool 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 Lanyard Connection (Fig. B) WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, user must read lanyard instructions before use. Do not use near moving parts, mechanisms or running machinery. The lanyard connection 14 is intended for use by competent personnel, who are trained and knowledgeable regarding working with tools in and around machinery and "at height". Fig. B 14 The lanyard connection is for attaching appropriate lanyards for use at height, 6.5 ft (2 m) maximum length, rated for at least 12.0 lbs (5.43 Kg) , with locking carabiner ends. Refer to Figure B. WARNING: Do not use rope or cord and do not attach by looping or knotting. Only attach tool to a lanyard with a locking carabiner. WARNING: If the tool is dropped for any reason the lanyard connection must be inspected and properly serviced prior to re-use. The lanyard connection is designed to stretch to absorb the shock of a drop. Any permanent stretch to the connection exposing the red internal coils indicates it has been compromised and must be serviced prior to reuse. 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 switch will need to be released if still being held on and then re-engaged 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 will need to be released if still being held on and then re-engaged 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 will need to be released if still being held on and then re-engaged 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. English 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. CAUTION: Only use the adjustable cut-off guard with the side handle in the left side of the gear case. Screw the side handle 5 tightly into the hole on the left 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 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 15 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 counterclockwise direction. 7
