reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges
for cut‑off wheels may be different from grinding
wheel flanges.
f ) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power
tools. A wheel intended for larger power tool is not
suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and
may burst.
g ) When using dual purpose wheels always use the
correct guard for the application being performed.
Failure to use the correct guard may not provide
the desired level of guarding, which could lead to
serious injury.
Additional Safety Warnings Specific for
Cutting‑Off Operations
a ) Do not "jam" the cut‑off wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth
of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut
and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
b ) Do not position your body in line with and behind
the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of
operations, is moving away from your body, the possible
kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power
tool directly at you.
c ) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold it
motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop.
Never attempt to remove the cut‑off wheel from the
cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback
may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to
eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
d ) Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and
carefully re‑enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up
or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
e ) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line
of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of
the wheel.
f ) Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding
wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or
objects that can cause kickback.
g ) Do not attempt to do curved cutting. Overstressing the
wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or
binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback
or wheel breakage, which can lead to serious injury.
Additional Safety Instructions for
Sanding Operations
a ) Use proper sized sanding disk paper. Follow
manufacturers recommendations, when selecting
sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending too far
8
beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and
may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Additional Safety Instructions for Wire
Brushing Operations
a ) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush
even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress
the wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The
wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b ) If the use of a guard is specified for wire brushing,
do not allow any interference of the wire wheel or
brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand
in diameter due to work and centrifugal forces.
Residual Risks
WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
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 personal injury due to flying particles.
•
Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
during operation.
•
Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
•
Risk of dust from hazardous substances.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage
i
on the rating plate.
Your D
WALT tool is double insulated in accordance
e
with EN62841; therefore no earth wire is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by
D
WALT or an authorised service organisation.
e
Mains Plug Replacement
(U.K. & Ireland Only)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
•
Safely dispose of the old plug.
•
Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in the plug.
•
Connect the blue lead to the neutral terminal.
WARNING: No connection is to be made to the
earth terminal.
Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs.
Recommended fuse: 13 A.
Using an Extension Cable
If an extension cable is required, use an approved 3–core
extension cable suitable for the power input of this tool (refer to
Technical Data). The minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm
maximum length is 30 m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.
