MOUNTING CLOSED (TYPE 1) GUARD
WARNING:
If present, the One-Touch
guard screw, lever, and spring must be
removed before attempting to mount
the closed (Type 1) guard. The removed
parts must be retained and reinstalled
to use the One-Touch guard. Noting
the position of these parts before
disassembly will aid in reassembly.
1. Open the guard latch. Align the lugs (l) on the
guard with the slots (m) on the gear case.
2. Push the guard down until the guard lug
engages and rotates freely in the groove on the
gear case hub.
3. Rotate guard into desired working position.
The guard body should be positioned between
the spindle and the operator to provide
maximum operator protection.
4. Close the guard latch to secure the guard on
the gear case cover. You should be unable to
rotate the guard by hand when the latch is in
closed position. If rotation is possible, tighten
the adjusting screw with the clamp lever in the
closed position. Do not operate grinder with a
loose guard or clamp lever in open position.
5. To remove the guard, open the guard latch,
rotate the guard so that the arrows are aligned
and pull up on the guard.
NOTE:
If, after a period of time the closed (Type 1)
guard becomes loose, tighten the adjusting screw
with the clamp lever in the closed position.
CAUTION:
If the guard cannot be
tightened by the adjusting screw, do
not use the tool. To reduce the risk of
personal injury, take the tool and guard
to authorized repair agent to repair or
replace the guard.
NOTICE:
Do not tighten adjusting
screw with clamp lever in open position.
Undetectable damage to guard or
mounting hub may result.

When fitting a disc with a raised centre, make
sure that the raised centre (p) is facing the
backing flange (d).
4. Screw the threaded clamp nut (e) onto the
spindle (b):
a.
The ring on the threaded clamp nut (e) must

NOTE:
Edge grinding can be performed with
Type 27 wheels designed and specified for this

surface grinding while 3 mm wheels are designed for
edge grinding. Cutting can be performed by using a
Type 1 wheel and a Type 1 guard.
Mounting Wire Brushes
and Wire Wheels
Wire cup brushes or wire wheels screw directly
on the grinder spindle without the use of flanges.
Use only wire brushes or wheels provided with a
M14 threaded hub (DWE4001/DWE4002 M10). A
Type 27 guard is required when using wire brushes
and wheels.
CAUTION: Wear work gloves when
handling wire brushes and wheels.
They can become sharp.
CAUTION:
Wheel or brush must not
touch guard when mounted or while
in use. Undetectable damage could
occur to the accessory, causing wires to
fragment from accessory wheel or cup.
1. Thread the wheel on the spindle by hand.
2. Depress spindle lock button and use a wrench
on the hub of the wire wheel or brush to tighten
the wheel.
3. To remove the wheel, reverse the above
procedure.
