Cutting Metal - DeWalt D28065 Original Instructions Manual

• Avoid overloading. Should the tool
become hot, let it run a few minutes
under no load condition to cool the
accessory. Do not touch accessories
before they have cooled. The discs
become very hot during use.
• Do not use separate reducing bushings
or adapters to adapt large hole
abrasive wheels.
• Never use the tool without the guard in
place.
• The tool is not designed to be used
with a grinding cup.
• Do not use the power tool with a cut-
off stand.
• Never use blotters together with
bonded abrasive products.
• Be aware, the wheel continues to
rotate after the tools is switched off.
Proper Hand Position (fig. 1, 6)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, ALWAYS use proper
hand position as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, ALWAYS hold securely in
anticipation of a sudden reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the side
handle (G), with the other hand on the body of the
tool, as shown in figure 6.
Trigger Switch (fig. 3)
CAUTION: Hold the side handle and
body of the tool firmly to maintain control
of the tool at start up and during use
and until the wheel or accessory stops
rotating. Make sure the wheel has come
to a complete stop be fore laying the tool
down.
NOTE: To reduce unexpected tool movement,
do not switch the tool on or off while under load
conditions. Allow the grinder to run up to full speed
before touching the work surface. Lift the tool from
the surface before turning the tool off. Allow the tool
to stop rotating before putting it down.
1. To turn the tool on, depress the trigger switch
(A) while depressing the lock-off button (C).
2. Turn the tool off by releasing the trigger switch.
LOCK-ON BUTTON
The lock-on button (B) offers increased comfort
in extended use applications. To lock the tool on,
depress the trigger switch (A), then push the lock-
on button (B). The tool will continue to run after

to a complete stop be fore laying the tool
down.
CAUTION: Allow the tool to reach full
speed before touching tool to the work
surface. Lift the tool from the work
surface before turning the tool off.
Metal Applications
When using the tool in metal applications, make
sure that a residual current device (RCD) has been
inserted to avoid residual risks caused by metal
swarf.
If the power supply is shut off by the RCD, take the
tool to authorised D WALT repair agent.
e
WARNING: In extreme working
conditions, conductive dust can
accumulate inside the machine housing
when working with metal. This can result
in the protective insulation inthe machine
becoming degraded with a potential risk
of an electrical shock.
To avoid build-up of metal swarf inside the machine,
we recommend to clear the ventilation slots on a
daily basis. Refer to Maintenance.
Using Flap Discs
WARNING: Metal dust build-up.
Extensive use of flap discs in metal
applications can result in the increased
potential for electric shock. To reduce
this risk, insert an RCD before use and
clean the ventilation slots daily by blowing
dry compressed air into the ventilation
slots inaccordance with the below
maintenance instructions.

Cutting Metal

For cutting with bonded abrasives, always use
the guard Type 1.
When cutting, work with moderate feed, adapted to
the material being cut. Do not exert pressure onto
the cutting disc, tilt or oscillate the machine.
Do not reduce the speed of running down cutting
discs by applying sideward pressure.
