General safety rules

Every WALTER power tool is produced in accordance with applicable
standards governing the manufacture, performance and safety of power
tools.

WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury, user
must read instruction manual.

Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool”�in
all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety

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

c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position

before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in 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 over-reach. 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 these devices 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.

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

b) Operations such as grinding or cutting-off are not recommended 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 Walter. 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.

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) 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.

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 work piece 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

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 and in the manner intended for the particular type
of power tool, 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.

Operation of this power tool

a) This power tool is intended to function as a sander, wire brush, or

polisher.

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications

provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed

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
power 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 reactions 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 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 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 work piece.

entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of work piece or of a broken accessory may fly away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.

j) 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.

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.

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.

Further safety instructions for all operations

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 work
piece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig

INTRODUCTION

Your WALTER power tool is precision built to meet the highest industrial
standards. For maximum performance and longest tool life, follow the
operating instructions and service procedures outlined in this manual.

This tool is CSA certified.
This tool is double insulated, it does not have to be grounded.

It may be safely operated from a grounded or ungrounded
receptacle. It is supplied with a 2-conductor power cord and a
polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). The plug will
fit only one way into a polarized outlet. If the plug does not fit,
have the outlet replaced by a qualified electrician. If an extension
cord is necessary, only one that is polarized must be used. Do
not change the plug in any way.

In order to maintain the safety features of the double insulation, the
housing must not be drilled to affix nameplates or the like. Self-adhesive
labels may be used for this purpose.

VOLTAGE

Before connecting the tool, make sure that the voltage shown on the rating
plate is the same as the power source.

Operating the tool on a voltage other than specified on its rating plate, may
result in personal injury to the user and damage to the unit.

EXTENSION CORD

When an extension cord is required, use one that is sufficient for the power
requirement of the tool. Extension cords of inadequate wire size cause a
serious drop in voltage, loss of power and possible motor damage. To limit
line voltage drop to a safe level, refer to the following table:

Length in meters 8 15 23 30
Length in feet 25 50 75 100
Wire size AWG 14 14 12 10

NOTE: Extension cords that are used outdoors must be approved for outdoor use.

DIALSPEED™ SELECTOR

Select the required speed by rotating speed selector (8). Positions A-G
roughly equal the following no load revolutions per minute:

Pos. A B C D E F G
RPM

1,000 1,400 2,000 2,400 2,800 3,300 3,800

DIALSPEED™ SETTINGS

Set speed selector (8) to position D and adjust either up or down until you
have found a speed that meets your surface finishing requirements.

The correct setting will depend on:

a) Type of material being worked c) Amount of pressure being

applied

b) Abrasive accessory being used d) Surface finish required

DYNAMAX

™ ELECTRONICS

The built-in electronic feedback circuit continuously monitors the load on
the motor and adjusts power as required to maintain a virtually constant
speed.

Should the machine be subjected to overload for an extended period, for
example when being run at a lower speed setting, the rotation speed will be
decreased electronically to protect the motor, . The machine will not stop
completely, it will continue to run slowly to allow the motor to cool. After
a brief period, by switching the machine off and on again, it can then be
used again at the rated load.

When used for extended periods, it is quite normal for the machine to
become warm. The thermal overload protection described above will
auto-activate whenever necessary. With practice, the user will feel to what
extent the machine can be loaded at each speed setting for continuous
uninterrupted operation.

Consignes de sécurité générales

Les outils électriques Walter sont fabriqués selon les normes établies
régissant la fabrication, le fonctionnement et la sécurité des outils
électriques.

MISE EN GARDE : Afin de réduire le risque de blessures,
l’utilisateur doit lire attentivement le mode d’emploi.

Veuillez lire toutes les instructions. Il est important de suivre les
instructions énumérées afin de réduire le risque de chocs électriques,
d’incendie et/ou de blessures graves. Le terme « outil électrique » dans
toutes les mises en garde énumérées fait référence à votre outil électrique
avec ou sans fil (muni d’une pile).

CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS

1) Sécurité dans votre zone de travail

a) Gardez votre zone de travail propre et bien éclairée. Un milieu

de travail en désordre ou mal éclairé peut devenir une source
d’accidents.

b) Ne pas utiliser l’outil électrique dans des atmosphères explosives, par

exemple en présence de liquide inflammable, de gaz ou de poussière.
L’outil électrique en fonction crée des étincelles et pourrait enflammer
la poussière ou les vapeurs.

c) Éloigner les enfants et les passants lors de l’utilisation d’un outil

électrique. Les distractions peuvent vous faire perdre le contrôle.

2) Sécurité en électricité

a) La fiche de l’outil électrique doit correspondre à la prise de courant.

Ne jamais modifier la fiche d’aucune façon. N’utilisez pas de
raccords de fiches avec des outils électriques mis à la terre. Les
fiches originales et les prises correspondantes réduiront le risque de
chocs électriques.

b) Évitez tout contact avec les surfaces mises à la terre, tels les tuyaux,

les radiateurs, les cuisinières et les réfrigérateurs. Le risque de chocs
électriques augmente si votre corps est relié à la terre.

c) Ne pas utiliser l’outil électrique sous la pluie ou dans des endroits

humides. L’infiltration d’eau dans l’outil augmente le risque de chocs
électriques.

d) N’abusez pas du cordon électrique. Ne transportez jamais l’outil en

le tenant par le cordon électrique et ne le débranchez pas en tirant sur
le cordon.Tenir le cordon loin de la chaleur, de l’huile et des pièces
tranchantes ou en mouvement. Un cordon endommagé ou enchevêtré

augmente le risque de chocs électriques.

e) Lorsque vous utilisez l’outil en plein air, assurez-vous d’avoir une

rallonge conçue pour une utilisation extérieure, réduisant ainsi le
risque de chocs électriques.

3) Sécurité personnelle

a) Soyez vigilant en tout temps lorsque vous manipulez un outil

électrique et faites preuve de bons sens. N’utilisez pas l’outil lorsque
vous êtes fatigué ou sous l’influence de l’alcool, de drogues ou
de médicaments. Un seul moment d’inattention dans l’utilisation
d’outils électriques peut entraîner des blessures graves.

b) Utilisation de matériel de sécurité – Il est important de toujours

porter des lunettes de sécurité. Le matériel de sécurité, y compris
un masque, des chaussures de sécurité antidérapantes, un casque de
sécurité et des tampons pour oreilles, évite les blessures.

c) Évitez un démarrage involontaire. Assurez-vous que l’interrupteur

est à la position « OFF » avant de le brancher. Le fait de transporter
l’outil avec votre doigt sur l’interrupteur ou de brancher l’outil
lorsque l’interrupteur est à « ON » peut provoquer des accidents.

d) Avant d’actionner l’outil électrique, assurez-vous de retirer toutes

les clés et les outils de réglage. Une clé attachée aux pièces en
mouvement d’un outil électrique peut provoquer des blessures.

e) Ne travaillez pas à bout de bras. Gardez un bon équilibre en tout

temps. Cela permet un meilleur contrôle de l’outil électrique dans
des situations imprévues.

f) Portez des vêtements appropriés. Évitez de porter des bijoux et des

vêtements amples lorsque vous travaillez avec des outils électriques.
Gardez vos cheveux, vos vêtements et vos gants loin des pièces en
mouvement. Les vêtements amples, les bijoux ou les cheveux longs
peuvent s’entremêler dans les pièces en mouvement.
