Important Charging Notes
1. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the
touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of
the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or
battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal
shed or an uninsulated trailer.
2. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp
or other appliance;
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light
switch which turns power off when you turn out
the lights;
c. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery
pack and charger to your local service center.
3. You may charge a partially used pack whenever you
desire with no adverse effect on the battery pack.
Charger Cleaning Instructions
WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger
from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease
may be removed from the exterior of the charger using
a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or
any cleaning solutions.
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.

FUTURE USE
Features
E‑Clutch™
This unit is equipped with an E‑Clutch™ (Electronic Clutch),
which in the event of a high‑load 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.
Kickback Brake™
When a pinch, stall, or bind‑up event is sensed the electronic
brake engages with maximum force to quickly stop the
wheel, reduce the movement of the grinder, and shut the
grinder off. The switch needs to be cycled (turned on and off )
to restart the 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 speed, allowing the tool
to build up to full speed gradually over a 1 second period.
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, when
replacing line, or prior to cleaning. 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.
Pipeline Grip Gear Case (Fig. D)
The pipeline grip gear case cover
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. The side handle should be
used as the secondary grip surface for all other applications.
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 mm), the tool must
be serviced and re‑assembled by a D
center. Failure to have the 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.
