Gear Case Orientation
DWE46044 and DWE46066 are sold with the spindle-side of the gear

This position is ideal for cutting applications. The gear case can be
repositioned to a different orientation if preferred by the user.
CAUTION: Do not reposition the gear case when using the stock
adjustable cut-off guard.
ROTATING THE GEAR CASE (FIG. 9)
1. Remove guard and flanges from tool.
2. Remove the four corner screws attaching
the gear case to motor housing.
3. Separating the gear case from motor
housing not more than 1/4" (6.35 mm),
rotate the gear case head to desired
position.
NOTE: If the gear case and motor housing become separated
by more than 1/4" (6.35 mm), the tool must be serviced and
re-assembled by a D WALT service center. Failure to have the tool
e
serviced may cause brush, motor and bearing failure.
4. Re-install screws to attach the gear case to the motor housing.
Tighten screws to 18 in./lbs. (2.03 Nm) torque. Overtightening
