E-SWITCH
PROTECTION
TM
(DWE4597, DWE4597N, DWE4599N}
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.
CLUTCH
(DWE4597, DWE4597N, DWE4599N)
The torque limiting clutch reduces the maximum reaction torque
transmitted to the operator in the case of jamming a cutting disc. This
feature also prevents the gearing and electric motor from stalling. The
torque limiting clutch has been factory set and cannot be adjusted.
E-CLUTCH
TM
(DWE4597, DWE4597N, DWE4599N)
This unit is equipped with an E-Clutch
TM
(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
M OVERLOAD PROTECTION
(DWE4597, DWE4597N, DWE4599N)
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.
COMPLETE
ELECTRONIC
CONTROL
TM
(DWE4597, DWE4597N, DWE4599N}
The internal electronic speed control offers consistent wheel speed
while using the tool.
ELECTRONIC SOFT START
(DWE4597, DWE4597N, DWE4599N}
This feature limits the initial start up momentum, allowing the speed to
build up gradually over a 1 second period.

AttacMng
Side
Handle
(Fig. 2)
The side handle (H) can be fitted to either side or the
FIG.2
top of the gear case in the threaded holes. The
f_'-
side positions are designed for optimized balance
in surface finishing and grinding applications. The
side handle must be used at all times to maintain
proper control of the tool. Before using the tool,
check that the handle is tightened securely.
NOTE: The D28499 offers 5 handle locations for
additional versatility.
ANTI-VIBRATION
SIDE HANDLE
(DWE4597, DWE4597N, DWE4599N)
The anti-vibration side handle reduces vibration and user fatigue in
extended use applications.
GEAR CASE GRIP (FIG. 3}
(DWE4559CN, DWE4559CNG)
The DWE4559CN and DWE4559CNG include a soft grip cover for
the gear case that can be used as a gripping surface only for pipeline
grinding and wire brushing where the edge of the wheel is used
for grinding and cleaning and precise control is needed to ensure
accuracy. As with any gripping surface, maintain firm grip during use.
