Switching On and Off (fi g. 1)
WARNING: Before connecting the tool
to a power source depress and release
the switch once without depressing the
lock-off lever to ensure that the switch is
off. Depress and release the switch as
described above after any interruption
in power supply to the tool, such as the
activation of a ground fault interrupter,
throwing of a circuit breaker, accidental
unplugging, or power failure. If the
switch is locked on, the tool will start
unexpectedly when it is reconnected.
WARNING: Do not switch the tool on
or off when under load.
The lock-off lever (b), located on the paddle switch,
is a safety feature that prevents accidental activation
of the grinder.
To turn the tool on, push the lock-off lever (b) toward
the back of the tool, then depress the paddle switch
(a). The tool will run while the switch is depressed.
Turn the tool off by releasing the paddle switch.
LOCK-ON BUTTON
The lock-on button (i) offers increased comfort in
extended use applications. To lock the tool on, push
the lock-off lever (b) toward the back of the tool then
depress the paddle switch (a). With the tool running,
depress the lock-on button (i). The tool will continue
to run after the paddle switch is released. To unlock
the tool, depress and release the paddle switch. This
will cause the tool to stop.
WARNING: Do not disable the lock-off
lever. If the lock-off lever is disabled, the
tool may start unexpectedly when it is
laid down.
WARNING: Allow the tool to reach
full speed before touching tool to the
work surface. Lift the tool from the work
surface before turning the tool off.
Spindle Lock (fi g. 1)
The spindle lock (c) is provided to prevent the
spindle from rotating when installing or removing
wheels. Operate the spindle lock only when the tool
is turned off, unplugged from the power supply, and
has come to a complete stop.
NOTICE: To reduce the risk of damage
to the tool, do not engage the spindle
lock while the tool is operating. Damage
to the tool will result and attached
accessory may spin off possibly
resulting in injury.
To engage the lock, depress the spindle lock button
and rotate the spindle until you are unable to rotate
the spindle further.
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 D
EWALT 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 in the
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.
Cutting Metal
For cutting with bonded abrasives, always use
the guard Type 1.
When cutting, work with moderate feed, adapted to
the material being cut. Do not exert pressure onto
the cutting disc, tilt or oscillate the machine.
Do not reduce the speed of running down cutting
discs by applying sideward pressure.
The machine must always work in an upgrinding
motion. Otherwise, the danger exists of it being
pushed uncontrolled out of the cut.
When cutting profiles and square bar, it is best to
start at the smallest cross section.
Rough Grinding
Never use a cutting disc for roughing.
Always use the guard type 27.
The best roughing results are achieved when setting
the machine at an angle of 30° to 40°. Move the
