DeWalt DWE4206 Original Instructions Manual page 39

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 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.
Additional Safety Rules for Grinders
a ) Do not use Type 11 (flaring cup) wheels on this tool.
Using inappropriate accessories can result in injury.
b ) Always use side handle. Tighten the handle securely. The
side handle should always be used to maintain control of the tool
at all times.
c ) When using segmented diamond wheels, use only
diamond wheels with a peripheral gap not greater than
10 mm and negative rake angle (refer to additional
Information for Guards and accessories chart.)
Residual Risks
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
on the rating plate.
Your D WALT tool is double insulated in accordance
e
with EN62841; therefore no earth wire is required.

WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
specially prepared cord available through the D
service organisation.
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
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use an approved extension cable suitable for the
power input of your charger (see Technical Data). The minimum
conductor size is 1,5 mm
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.
