- Keep the correct guard or shroud installed and orient it for the material, cutting direction, sparks, and dust.
- Connect the AIRLOCK shroud only to compatible extraction equipment and follow the material-specific dust-control requirements.
QUICK ANSWERS
Common questions
Does it include a battery and charger?
No. DCS438B is the tool-only configuration; both are sold separately.
Which cutting wheels are in the box?
It includes one bonded-abrasive wheel, one diamond multi-material wheel, and one diamond tile wheel.
Can it use a 7/16-inch arbor wheel?
Yes, when the wheel is otherwise compatible and the included adapter ring is correctly fitted over the 3/8-inch arbor.
Why would I reverse the wheel direction?
Changing direction lets you manage where sparks and debris travel, subject to the guard position and DEWALT's operating instructions.
