of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18
gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using
more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate
marking. Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss
of power and overheating. D
if this tool does not operate, check power supply.

COMPONENTS (FIG. A)
WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part
of it. Damage or personal injury could result.
Refer to Figure A at the beginning of this manual for a
complete list of components.
INTENDED USE
Your grinder is designed for professional grinding, sanding,
wire brushing, polishing or abrasive, cutting-off applications.
DO nOT use under wet conditions or in presence of
flammable liquids or gases.
Your grinder is a professional power tool. DO nOT let
children come into contact with the tool. Supervision is
required when inexperienced operators use this tool.
Anti-Vibration Rear Handle (Fig. A)
The anti-vibration ring
10
reduces handle vibration and
user fatigue in extended use applications.
Dust Ejection System
The dust ejection system deflects debris that would be
harmful to the motor and allows cleaner air to pass over
the motor.
Keyless Guard
This allows for tool-free guard change and adjustment.
E-switch Protection™
DWE4597, DWE4597n, DWE4599n
The ON/OFF trigger switch has a no-volt release function.
In the event of a power outage or other unexpected shut
down, the trigger switch will need to be cycled (turned on
and off) to restart tool.
E-Clutch™
DWE4597, DWE4597n, DWE4599n
This unit is equipped with an E-Clutch™ (Electronic Clutch),
which in the event of a high-load or wheel pinch, 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.
Power-OFF™ OVERLOAD Protection
DWE4597, DWE4597n, DWE4599n
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.
