any cleaning solutions.

Wall Mounting

Some D
WALT chargers are designed to be wall mountable
e
or to sit upright on a table or work surface.  If wall mounting,
locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and
away from a corner or other obstructions which may impede
air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template for the
location of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount the
charger securely using drywall screws (purchased separately)
at least 1" (25.4 mm) long, with a screw head diameter of
0.28–0.35" (7–9 mm), screwed into wood to an optimal
depth leaving approximately 7/32" (5.5 mm) of the screw
exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the
exposed screws and fully engage them in the slots.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start‑up can cause injury.
Wheels

WARNING: To minimize the risk of eye injury, always
use eye protection. Carbide is a hard but brittle
material. Foreign objects in the workpiece such as wire
or nails can cause tips to crack or break. Mount the
wheel securely in proper direction of rotation before
using, and always use a clean, sharp wheel.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, only use wheels
that are no greater than 3" (76 mm) in diameter, have
an inner diameter of 3/8" (or 7/16" if using adapter
ring), and without cutting teeth. Thickness of wheel not
to exceed 0.09" (2.2 mm). Never force a wheel onto the
machine or alter the size of the arbor hole.
A dull wheel will cause slow inefficient cutting, overload the
motor, could cause excessive splintering, and could increase
the possibility of kickback. Please refer to the table below to
determine the correct wheel for your application.

diameter of inner flange.
nOTE: When installing diamond*** wheels, always
match direction of rotation of the wheel to the desired
direction of rotation of the tool. Diamond*** wheels
will not cut effectively unless the direction marked on
the wheel matches the direction of rotation. Check the
setting of the forward/reverse/lock off button 
sure it matches the direction marked on the wheel.
