Questions & Answers
Arbor size
The DWE402W angle grinder has an arbor size of 5/8"-11.
Auto-off brushes shut the tool down when the brushes need replacing to avoid tool damage? What does this mean? What is required to replace the brushes? Who does this? Is it a warranty ?
The DWE402W 4-1/2" Small Angle Grinder features auto-off brushes, which are designed to shut the tool down when the brushes wear out. This prevents damage to the motor by ensuring the tool stops operating before the brushes are completely worn down and potentially harm internal components. Here's what this means and what is required for brush replacement: What Does "Auto-Off Brushes" Mean? Functionality: The grinder has a built-in safety feature that automatically stops the tool when the carbon brushes (which conduct electricity to the motor) reach the end of their usable life. This ensures the motor is not subjected to excessive wear or overheating due to worn brushes. What Is Required to Replace the Brushes? Replacement Brushes: You will need compatible replacement brushes for the DWE402W model. These can be purchased from authorized DEWALT dealers or service centers. Skill Level: Replacing brushes typically requires basic mechanical skills. The process involves opening the tool housing, removing the worn brushes, and installing new ones. It is recommended to follow the user manual or consult a professional. Tools: You might need a screwdriver and other basic tools to access the brush compartment. Who Performs This Replacement? DIY Option: If you are comfortable with tool maintenance, you can replace the brushes yourself following the instructions in the user manual. Professional Service: Alternatively, you can take the grinder to an authorized DEWALT service center, where trained technicians can replace the brushes for you. Is This Covered Under Warranty? Warranty Coverage: Brush wear is considered normal wear and tear and is generally not covered under DEWALT's warranty. However, if the auto-off feature malfunctions or causes damage to the tool, it might be covered under warranty. Warranty Details: DEWALT typically offers a 3-year limited warranty for their tools, but this excludes consumable parts like brushes. You can check the warranty terms for specifics on your tool.
Can this tool be used to grind concrete to prevent a trip hazard?
The angle grinder model number DWE402W is suitable for grinding concrete to prevent trip hazards, as it is designed for heavy-duty grinding applications.
Which cutting wheel do I use for the DeWalt DWE402W grinder to cut circles in porcelain tiles?
You'll need a diamond-tipped blade designed for porcelain, specifically a diamond blade with a smooth edge, as notched blades are better suited for porcelain tiles.
Would this tool be helpful for cutting hardened steel?
Hi Fern, hardened steel can be cut using this grinder. Recommended are Diamond cutting wheels. If there is a lot of hardened steel cutting a larger grinder (more power) is best.
Safety Standards at my job require the plug to have 3 prongs OR the cord to be dual insulation. Does this grinder have those features?
The cordset does not meet those specifications.
what is the arbor size?
5/8-11 Arbor
Does the Blade that comes with it cut ceramic tile? It says it cuts metal and is rather thick.
The DWE402W will include (1) 4-1/2" Abrasive Wheel. We would recommend using a wheel specifically for the type tile you will be cutting.
