Rotating the Gear Case (Fig. 4)

FIG. 4

For applications in which a tool will be dedicated for uses in edge grinding and finishing work, the gear case may be rotated 90° left or right of its original position.

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 3.17 mm (1/8"), the tool must be serviced and re-assembled by a DEWALT service center. Failure to have the tool serviced may cause brush, motor and bearing failure.

3.Reinstall screws to attach the gear case to the motor housing. Tighten screws to 20 in.-lbs. torque. Overtightening could cause screws to strip.
