WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.

Residual Risks

• The following risks are inherent to the use of these machines:
- injuries caused by touching the rotating parts.
- injuries caused by disruption of the cutting disc.
• These risks are most evident:
- within the range of operation
- within the range of the rotating machine parts
• In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
- Impairment of hearing.
- Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the
rotating cutting disc.
- Risk of injury when changing the disc.
- Risk of squeezing fingers when opening the guards.

Electrical Safety

The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage
on the rating plate.
Your D WALT tool is double insulated in accordance
e
with EN62841; therefore no earth wire is required.
