increase the risk of electric shock.

cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.

4

ENGLISH

e) When operating a power tool outdoors,

use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use

reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp

location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and

use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment.

Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch is in the off position before
connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your finger

on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench

before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection

of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce

dust-related hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the

correct power tool for your application.

The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch

does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power

source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety

measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach

of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and

tool bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for

operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.

5) SERVICE

a) Have your power tool serviced by a

qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Safety Instructions for All Operations

a) This power tool is intended to function

as a grinder, sander, wire brush, polisher
or cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow

all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.

b) Do not use accessories which are not

specifically designed and recommended
by the tool manufacturer. Just because the

accessory can be attached to your power tool,
it does not assure safe operation.

5

ENGLISH

c) The rated speed of the accessory must be at

least equal to the maximum speed marked
on the power tool. Accessories running faster

than their rated speed can break and fly apart.

d) The outside diameter and the thickness of

your accessory must be within the capacity
rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized

accessories cannon be adequately guarded or
controlled.

e) The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing

pads or any other accessory must properly
fit the spindle of the power tool. Accessories

with arbour holes that do not match the
mounting hardware of the power tool will run
out of balance, vibrate excessively and may
cause loss of control.

f) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before

each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheel for chips and cracks, backing
pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire
brush for loose or cracked wires. If power
tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged accessory.
After inspecting and installing an accessory,
position yourself and bystanders away from
the plane of the rotating accessory and run
the power tool at maximum no-load speed
for one minute. Damaged accessories will

normally break apart during this test time.

g) Wear personal protective equipment.

Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments. The eye protection must

be capable of stopping flying debris generated
by various operations. The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of filtrating particles
generated by your operation. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may cause
hearing loss.

h) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from

work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.

Fragments of workpiece or of a broken
accessory may fly away and cause injury
beyond immediate area of operation.

i) Hold power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting

accessory contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
shock the operator.

j) Position the cord clear of the spinning

accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be
cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be
pulled into the spinning accessory.

k) Never lay the power tool down until the

accessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning accessory may grab the surface and
pull the power tool out of your control.

l) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at

your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.

m) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.

The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside
the housing and excessive accumulation of
powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.

n) Do not operate the power tool near

flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.

o) Do not use accessories that require liquid

coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.

FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ALL OPERATIONS

Causes and Operator Prevention
of Kickback

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or
any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes
rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn
causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in
the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at
the point of the binding.

For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel
that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the
surface of the material causing the wheel to climb
out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward
or away from the operator, depending on direction
of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under these
conditions.

Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below:

a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and

position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary
handle, if provided, for maximum control

6

ENGLISH

over kickback or torque reaction during start
up. The operator can control torque reaction or

kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.

b) Never place your hand near the rotating

accessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.

c) Do not position your body in the area where

power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction
opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point
of snagging.

d) Use special care when working corners,

sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp

edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the
rotating accessory and cause loss of control or
kickback.

e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving

blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control.

Safety Warnings Specifi c for
Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-Off
Operations

a) Use only wheel types that are recommended

for your power tool and the specific guard
designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for

which the power tool was not designed cannot
be adequately guarded and are unsafe.

b) The guard must be securely attached to the

power tool and positioned for maximum
safety, so the least amount of wheel is
exposed towards the operator. The guard

helps to protect operator from broken wheel
fragments and accidental contact with wheel.

c) Wheels must be used only for recommended

applications. For example: do not grind with
the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off

wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side
forces applied to these wheels may cause them
to shatter.

d) Always use undamaged wheel flanges

that are of correct size and shape for your
selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support

the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel
breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be
different from grinding wheel flanges.

e) Do not use worn down wheels from larger

power tools. Wheel intended for larger power
tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a
smaller tool and may burst.

Additional Safety Warnings Specifi c
for Abrasive 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 the power tool 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 reenter the cut. The wheel may

bind, walk up or kickback if the power too is
restated 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.

Safety Warnings Specifi c for Sanding
Operations

a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding

disc paper. Follow manufacturer's
recommendations, when selecting sanding
paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond

the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard
and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc
or kickback.

7

ENGLISH

Safety Warnings Specifi c for
Polishing Operations

a) Do not allow any loose portion of the

polishing bonnet or its attachment strings
to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose
attachment strings. Loose and spinning

attachment strings can entangle your fingers or
snag on the workpiece.

Safety Warnings Specifi c 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 recommended 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

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 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.

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 DEWALT repair agent.

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.

MAINTENANCE

Your DEWALT power tool has been designed to
operate over a long period of time with a minimum
of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
