DeWalt DWE4011 Mounting and Using Cutting Type 1 Wheels, Using Wire CUP Brushes and Wire Wheels

NOTICE: Failure to properly seat the wheel hub before turning the tool on may result in damage to tool or wheel.

USING WIRE CUP BRUSHES AND WIRE WHEELS (FIG 14, 15)

Wire wheels and brushes can be used forremoving rust, scale and paint, and for smoothing irregular surfaces.

1.	Allow the tool to reach full speed before	FIG. 14
	touching the tool to the work surface.
2.	Apply minimum pressure to work surface,
	allowing the tool to operate at high	5˚–10˚
	speed. Material removal rate is greatest

WARNING: A closed, 2-sided cutting wheel guard is not included with this tool but is required when using cutting wheels. Failure to use proper flange and guard can result in injury resulting from wheel breakage and wheel contact. See page 9 for more information.

MOUNTING CLOSED (TYPE 1) GUARD (FIG. 16 –18)

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.

when the tool operates at high speed.

3.Maintain a 5˚ to 10˚ angle between the tool and work surface for wire cup brushes.

4.Maintain contact between the edge of the wheel and the work surface with wire wheels.

5. Continuously move the tool in a forward and FIG. 15

back motion to avoid creating gouges in the work surface. Allowing the tool to rest on the work surface without moving, or moving the

tool in a circular motion causes burning and swirling marks on the work surface.

1.Open the guard latch (N). Align the lugs (I) on the guard with the slots

(J) 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 (F) into desired working position. The guard body should be positioned between the spindle and the operator to provide maximum operator protection.
