DeWalt D28000 Instruction Manual page 5

• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained
persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts, and any other condition that may affect the
tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manu-
facturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.
SERVICE
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair
personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts.
Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this man-
ual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance
instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
Additional Specific Safety Instructions
for Grinders
• Always use proper guard with grinding wheel. A guard pro-
tects operator from broken wheel fragments and wheel contact.
• Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recom-
mended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other acces-
sories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.
Accessory ratings must be above listed minimum wheel speed
as shown on tool nameplate.
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
• ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN USING THIS
TOOL.
• Use of accessories not specified in this manual is not rec-
ommended and may be hazardous. Use of power boosters
that would cause the tool to be driven at speeds greater than its
rated speed constitutes misuse.
• Do not use circular saw blades or any other toothed blades
with this tool. Serious injury may result.
• When starting the tool with a new or replacement wheel, or
a new or replacement wire brush installed, hold the tool in
a well protected area and let it run for one minute. If the
wheel has an undetected crack or flaw, it should burst in less
than one minute. If the wire brush has loose wires, they will be
detected. Never start the tool with a person in line with the
wheel. This includes the operator.
• Avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it rough treatment. If this
occurs, stop the tool and inspect the wheel for cracks or flaws.
