/_ WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions

should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Grounding Instructions

This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and 3-

prong grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the

grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal. If your unit is intended for use on less than 150 V,

it has a plug that looks like that shown in sketch A. If it is for use on 150 to 250 V, it has a plug that looks like that shown in sketch D. An

adapter, sketches B and C, is available for connecting sketch A type plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the

like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box. No adapter is

available for a plug as shown in sketch D. ADAPTER SHOWN IN FIGURES B and C IS NOT FOR USE IN CANADA.

Safety Instructions For All Tools

• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

• CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don't expose power tools to rain. Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Do not use tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.

• GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.

• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord. All visitors should be kept away from work area.

• STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, and high or locked-up place -- out of reach of children.

• DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.

• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment to do the

job of a heavy-duty tooL Don't use tool for purpose not intended.

• DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear

protective hair covering to contain long hair.

• USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if operation is dusty

• DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tooL

• DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating

REMOVEADJUSTINGKEYSANDWRENCHES.Formhabitof

checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don't carry tool with finger

on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in. EXTENSION CORDS. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have

3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. Replace or repair damaged cords. Make sure your

extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product

will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The foflowing table

shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage.

The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

• STAYALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.

• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked

to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that

may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service

center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by authorized service

center. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off

Additional Safety Instructions for

Grinders

• ALWAYS USE GUARDS AND EYE SHIELDS. WHEN GRIN- DING, ALWAYS KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE.

• Use only grinding wheels having a maximum operating speed at least high as "No Load RPM" marked on the tool's nameplate.

• Before using, inspect recommended accessory for cracks or flaws. If such a crack or flaw is evident, discard the accessory. DO NOT USE A GRINDING WHEEL THAT IS CRACKED OR FLAWED IN

ANY WAY.

• When starting the tool, let it run for one minute. Never start the tool with a person in line with the wheel This includes the operator.

• Do not grind on the sides of grinding wheels unless they are specifically designed for that purpose.

• Do not overtighten wheel clamp nut. This may crack the grinding wheel

• Clean the cavity around the grinding wheel periodically.

• z_ CAUTION: Some wood contains preservatives such as copper chromium arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When sanding

these materials extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and minimize skin contact.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Motor

Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. 120

Volts, 50/60 Hz means alternating current only should be used to

operate this tooI.A power decrease of more than 10% will cause loss of power and overheating. All DeWaIt tools are factory tested; if this

tool does not operate, check the power supply

Bench Mounting

1. The grinder should be unplugged.

2. Remove the drilling template from this manual (pg. 5) and place it in position of the bench. Check for the availability of power for the

grinder. Tape the template to the bench.

3. Using a center punch, transfer the hole centers for drilling.

4. Drill appropriate sized holes.

5. Insert 1/4" (6mm) Hex head bolts through washers and the holes. You may want to use washers on the underside of the bench as

well.

6. Tighten the nuts. Do not overtighten. Allow the rubber feet to absorb the vibration when the grinder is running.

Installing Tool Rests

TURN OFF POWER AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY. Your grinder includes a hex wrench, attached to the right of the

On/Off switch. Use this wrench when installing the tool rest brackets, tool rest and eye shield brackets.

First install the tool rest brackets, as shown in Fig. 2. Next attach the tool rests. Use the bolts, washers, spacers and lock nuts from the plastic bag to secure the brackets and tool rests in place.

NOTE: There is a left and right tool rest. When in actual use, the tool rests should be adjusted to within 118"of the grinding wheel or other accessory being used.

Operation

NEVER USE A BENCH GRINDER IF IT IS NOT FIRMLY FASTENED TO A WORK BENCH OR RIGID FRAME. Before turning

the grinder on, put on safety glasses. Turn on the grinder and allow it to reach full speed (3450 RPM - DW756, 3600 RPM - DW758). Hold the workpiece firmly and against the tool rest. Hold very small pieces with pliers or other suitable clamps. Feed the work smoothly and evenly into the grinding wheel. Move the work slowly and avoid

jamming the work against the wheel. As the wheel tends to slow

down you should occasionally release the pressure to let the wheel return to full speed.

Grind only on the face of the grinding wheel and never on the side. (Some wheels are designed for side grinding and will say so on their instruction sheets).

/[k CAUTION: Prolonged grinding will cause most materials to

become hot. Handle them with pliers or thick gloves.

Switch

The switch is located on the front of the grinder, on the base. (Figure

1) To turn the tool on depress the side of the rocker switch on the left side, marked "ON". To turn off the grinder, depress the right side of the rocker switch, marked "OFF".

Installing Tool Rests

TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE BENCH GRINDER Remove the tool rests from the packing and install as shown in

Figure 2. Use the washers and screws supplied.

CAUTION: Longer screws may interfere with the movement of the

grinding wheel.

Maintenance

CLEANING Blowing dust and grit out of the motor housing using compressed air

is a necessary regular maintenance procedure. Dust and grit containing metal particles often accumulate on interior surfaces and could create an electrical shock hazard if not frequently cleaned out.

ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.

Z_CAUTION: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for

cleaning the non-metalNc parts of the tool. Use clean, dry rag only. LUBRICATION

DeWALT tools are properly lubricated at the factory and are ready for use. Tools should be relubricated regularly every sixty days to six months, depending on usage. (Tools used constantly on production or heavy-duty jobs and tools exposed to heat may require more

frequent lubrication.) This lubrication should only be attempted by

trained power tool repair persons, such as those at DeWALT service centers or in other qualified service organizations.

Accessories

Recommended accessories for use with your tool are available at extra cost from your distributor or local service center.

Grinding wheels must fit within the confines of the guard and must be rated higher than the recommended speed as marked on the

nameplate.

Recommended accessories for use with your tool are available at extra cost from your distributor or local service center.

/_ CAUTION: Strands of wire cup brushes may break and fly off

while in use. Users and others in the area should wear adequate eye, face and body protection. Use only wire cup brushes that are rated at

or greater than the RPM shown on the tool's nameplate.
