tool speed changed by means of the speed control 

wheel alone.
The electronic speed control not only lets you 

select the speed to suit the job, but also helps 

to maintain that speed as you load the tool by 

pressing down. It’s this feature, coupled with the 

variable speed switch, that make this tool such a 

value.
The speed control wheel can be set for any speed between 1000 and 3000 RPM and 

the variable speed switch will then control tool speed from zero to the wheel setting. 

For example: A control wheel setting of 2200 RPM will allow the variable speed switch 

to operate the tool between zero and 2200 RPM, depending on how far the trigger is 

depressed. A wheel setting of 1000 RPM would allow the switch to operate the tool 

from zero RPM to 1000 RPM.
The electronic speed control feature comes into play whenever the trigger switch is 

fully depressed and the tool is running at the selected speed determined by the setting 

of the control wheel. As you load the tool by pushing it down on the work surface, 

(with the trigger fully depressed) the electronic circuit inside the tool will compensate 

for the loading and maintain the selected speed. If the speed selected by the control 

wheel is 2200 RPM, as in the example below, the tool will maintain 2200 RPM, as it 

is loaded.
It is important to remember two things about electronic speed control:
  1. The electronic speed control operates only when the trigger switch is fully 

depressed.

  2. The effect of electronic speed control is much easier to observe at lower speed 

settings (2600 RPM and below), than at high speeds. 

As the tool approaches 3000 RPM, the effect is considerably less dramatic.

Keep in mind that, with a conventional polisher running at a typical no load speed 

of 2400 RPM, the tool slows down to about 2000 RPM under a polishing load. Your 

DW849-XE will continue to run at 2400 RPM (or any speed you select with the control 

wheel) as a load is applied. Since it doesn’t slow down, the speed may be greater 

than you’re used to so some extra caution should be observed until you get the “feel” 

of your polisher. If you feel the speed is too great, you can, of course slow the tool 

down with either the trigger switch or the control wheel.

In order to prevent the spindle of the tool from rotating 

while installing or removing accessories, a spindle 

lock button has been provided in the gear head of the 

machine. To lock the spindle, depress and hold the 

lock  button (E). NEVER DEPRESS THE SPINDLE LOCK 

BUTTON WITH THE TOOL RUNNING OR COASTING.

WARNING: Shock Hazard

. To reduce the risk of 

serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool 

from power source before making any adjustments or 

removing/installing attachments or accessories.

To attach pad, push the hub of the clamp washer (G) 

through the hole in the centre of the polishing pad (H) 

as far as it will go. Engage the hexagonal hole in the 

backing pad (I). Holding the three pieces firmly together, 

place the assembly on the tool spindle (J). Hold the 

spindle lock button while turning the pads clockwise to 

thread them completely on the spindle. 
To remove the pads, manually turn the pads in the 

opposite directon from normal rotation to allow lock 

button to engage spindle, then unscrew pads in normal 

direction for right hand thread.

NOTE: 

If you are using a polishing bonnet (K), rather than

a pad, put clamp washer on first, pull bonnet completely 

over backing pad and pull draw strings tight. Tie bow 

knot and push knot and all loose string completely under 

the inside, cloth edge of the polishing bonnet.

WARNING:

 TIED KNOT AND ALL STRINGS MUST BE 

TUCKED ENTIRELY UNDER THE CLOTH APRON. FAILURE 

TO DO SO MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
