Wall Mounting
Some D
WALT chargers are designed to be wall mountable
e
or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall mounting,
locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and
away from a corner or other obstructions which may impede
air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template for the
location of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount the
charger securely using drywall screws (purchased separately)
at least 1" (25.4 mm) long, with a screw head diameter of
0.28–0.35" (7–9 mm), screwed into wood to an optimal
depth leaving approximately 7/32" (5.5 mm) of the screw
exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the
exposed screws and fully engage them in the slots.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
Attaching the Auxiliary Handle (Fig. D)
WARNING: This handle SHOULD BE USED AT ALL
TIMES to maintain complete control of the tool.
Always make sure the handle is tight.
Screw the auxiliary handle
mounting holes of the gear case.
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.
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 D
WALT service center. Failure to have the
e
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; 1/4"
(6.35 mm) thick wheels are designed for surface grinding
while thinner Type 27 wheels need to be examined for
40
5
tightly into one of the threaded
the manufacturer's label to see if they can be used for
surface grinding or only edge grinding/cutting. A Type 1/41
guard must be used for any wheel where surface grinding
is forbidden. Cutting can also be performed by using a
Type 1/41 wheel and a Type 1/41 guard.
NOTE: See the Accessories Chart to select the proper guard
/ accessory combination.
Adjusting and Mounting Guard (Fig. F, G)
