GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and



instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or seriousinjury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE

REFERENCE

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) powertool.

1) Work Area Safety

a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark

areas inviteaccidents.

b ) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools

create sparks which may ignite the dust orfumes.

c ) Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to losecontrol.

2) Electrical Safety

a ) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will

reduce risk of electricshock.

b ) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed orgrounded.

c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electricshock.

d ) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the 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.

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 ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI

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 energizing 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

jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry 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) Battery Tool Use and Care

a ) Recharge only with the charger specified by the

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type

of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another batterypack.

b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated

battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury andfire.

c ) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away

from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may

cause burns or afire.

d ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected

from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid

contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation orburns.

6) 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS

Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire Brushing, Polishing or Abrasive, Cutting-Off Operations

a ) This power tool is intended to function as a

grinder, sander, wire brush 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 ) Operations such as polishing are not

reccomended to be performed with this power tool. Operations for which the power tool was

not designed may create a hazard and cause personalinjury.

c ) 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.

d ) 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.

ENGLISH

e ) The outside diameter and the thickness of your

accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot

be adequately guarded or controlled.

f ) Threaded mounting of accessories must match

the grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted by flanges, the arbor hole of the accessory must fit the locating diameter of the flange. Accessories that do not match the mounting

hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.

g ) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each

use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels 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.

h ) 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.

i ) 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.

j ) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire

may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

k ) 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.

l ) 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.

m ) 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.

ENGLISH

n ) 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.

o ) Do not operate the power tool near flammable

materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

p ) Do not use accessories that require liquid

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

q ) Do not use Type 11 (flaring cup) wheels on this

tool. Using inappropriate accessories can result in injury.

r ) Always use side handle. Tighten the handle

securely. The side handle should always be used to maintain control of the tool at all times.

s ) 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.

t ) Use of accessories not specified in this manual is

not recommended 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.

u ) Use clamps or another practical way to secure

and support the workpiece to a stable platform.

Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

v ) Avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it rough

treatment. If this occurs, stop the tool and inspect the wheel for cracks or flaws.

w ) Always handle and store wheels in a careful

manner.

x ) Do not operate this tool for long periods of time.

Vibration caused by the operating action of this tool may cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods, and limit daily time of use.

y ) Air vents often cover moving parts and should be

avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

Kickback and Related Warnings

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 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 Specific 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 grinding surface of center depressed

wheels must be mounted below the plane of the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that

projects through the plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.

c ) 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 the operator

from broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.

d ) 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.

e ) 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.

f ) 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 Specific 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 operation, 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 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.

Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations

a ) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc

paper. Follow manufacturers 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.

Safety Warnings Specific 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

ENGLISH

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.

c ) Safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields

and a full face shield compliant with ANSI Z87.1 MUST be worn by the operator and others that are within 50' (15.2 m) of the use of this product.

Additional Safety Information

Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.

• Do not expose the charger to rain orsnow.

• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug andcord.

• Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not

be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage orstress.

• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in

risk of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.

• When operating a charger outdoors, always provide

a dry location and use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use

reduces the risk of electricshock.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier thecord.

The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator light will be illuminated during this operation. Once the battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature, the yellow light will turn off and the charger will resume the charging procedure.

The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery pack by refusing to light or by displaying a problem pack or charger blink pattern.

NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger. If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and

battery pack to be tested at an authorized service center.

Hot/Cold Pack Delay

When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery pack life.

A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than a warm battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to maximum charge rate even if the battery pack warms.

The DCB118 charger is equipped with an internal fan designed to cool the battery pack. The fan will turn on automatically when the battery pack needs to be cooled.

Never operate the charger if the fan does not operate properly or if ventilation slots are blocked. Do not permit foreign objects to enter the interior of the charger.

Lithium-Ion Battery Packs Only

Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection System that will protect the battery pack against overloading, overheating or deep discharge.

The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the lithiumion battery pack on the charger until it is fully charged.

DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118, DCB132

These chargers are designed to be wall mountable or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall mounting, locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and away from a corner or other obstructions which may impede air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template for the location of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount the charger securely using drywall screws (purchased separately) at least 1" (25.4 mm) long, with a screw head diameter of 0.28–0.35" (7–9mm), screwed into wood to an optimal depth leaving approximately 7/32" (5.5 mm) of the screw exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the exposed screws and fully engage them in the slots.

Charger Cleaning Instructions

WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease



may be removed from the exterior of the charger using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or any cleaning solutions.

Important Charging Notes

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18° – 24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +104°F (+40°C). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.

2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal shed or an uninsulated trailer.

3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:

a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp

or other appliance;

b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light

switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights;

c. Move the charger and battery pack to a location

where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F – 75°F (18° – 24°C);

d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery

pack and charger to your local service center.

4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no adverse effect on the battery pack.

5. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there

ENGLISH

DeWALT

is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger before attempting to clean.

6. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any other liquid.

Storage Recommendations

1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.

2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged battery pack in a cool dry place out of the charger for optimal results.

NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be recharged before use.

COMPONENTS (FIG. A)

WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of it. Damage or personal injury couldresult.



Refer to Figure A at the beginning of this manual for a complete list ofcomponents.

Intended Use

These heavy-duty small angle grinders have been designed for professional grinding, sanding, wire brush, and cut-off applications at various work sites (i.e., construction sites).

DO NOT use under wet conditions or in presence of flammable liquids orgases.

These heavy-duty small angle grinders are professional power tools. DO NOT let children come into contact with the tool. Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use thistool.

E-Clutch™

This unit is equipped with an E-Clutch™ (Electronic Clutch), which in the event of a high-load the unit will be shut off to reduce the reaction torque to the user. The switch needs to be cycled (turned on and off) to restart tool.

Kickback Brake™

When a pinch, stall, or bind-up event is sensed the electronic brake engages with maximum force to quickly stop the wheel, reduce the movement of the grinder, and shut the grinder off. The switch needs to be cycled (turned on and off) to restart the tool.

Power-OFF™ OVERLOAD Protection

The power supply to the motor will be reduced in case of motor overload. With continued motor overload, the tool will shut off. The switch needs to be cycled (turned on and off) to restart tool. The tool will power off each time the current load reaches the overload current value (motor burn-up point). If continued overload shutdowns occur, apply less force/weight on the tool until the tool will function without the overload engaging.

Electronic Soft Start

This feature limits the initial start up speed, allowing the tool to build up to full speed gradually over a 1 second period.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

Precautions To Take When Working on a Painted Workpiece

1. Sanding or wire brushing of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnant women.

2. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains lead without a chemical analysis, we

recommend the following precautions when sanding any paint:

Personal Safety

1. No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint sanding or wire brushing is being done until all clean up is completed.

2. A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons entering the work area. The filter should be replaced daily or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing. NOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead paint dust and fumes should be used. Ordinary painting masks do not offer this protection. See your local hardware dealer for the proper N.I.O.S.H. approvedmask.

3. NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or smoking should not be left in the work area where dust would settle on them.

Environmental Safety

1. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dust generated.

2. Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting of 4 mils thickness.

3. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside the work area.

Cleaning and Disposal

1. All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be changedfrequently.

2. Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed of along with any dust chips or other removal debris. They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and disposed of through regular trash pick-up procedures. During clean up, children and pregnant women should be kept away from the immediate work area.

3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should be washed thoroughly before being used again.

Edge Grinding and Cutting (Fig. P)

WARNING: Do not use edge grinding/cutting wheels for surface grinding applications because these wheels



are not designed for side pressures encountered with surface grinding. Wheel breakage and injury mayresult.

CAUTION: Wheels used for edge grinding and cutting may break or kick back if they bend or twist while



the tool is being used. In all edge grinding/cutting operations, the open side of the guard must be positioned away from the operator.

Edge grinding/cutting with a Type27 wheel must be limited to shallow cutting and notching—less



than 1/2" (13mm) in depth when the wheel is new. Reduce the depth of cutting/notching equal to the

reduction of the wheel radius as it wears down. Refer

DeWALT

to the Accessories Chart for more information. Edge grinding/cutting with a Type 1/41 wheel requires usage of a Type 1/41 guard.

1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool to the work surface.

2. Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing the tool to operate at high speed. Grinding/cutting rate is greatest when the tool operates at high speed.

3. Position yourself so that the open-underside of the wheel is facing away from you.

4. Once a cut is begun and a notch is established in the workpiece, do not change the angle of the cut. Changing the angle will cause the wheel to bend and may cause wheel breakage. Edge grinding wheels are not designed to withstand side pressures caused bybending.

5. Remove the tool from the work surface before turning the tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying it down.
