Edge Grinding and Cutting
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 mayresult.
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
theoperator.
NOTICE: Edge grinding/cutting with a Type27wheel
must be limited to shallow cutting and notching—less
than 13mm 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 to the Accessory
Chart for more information. Edge grinding/cutting with a
Type 41wheel requires usage of a Type 1guard.
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool
to the worksurface.
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 highspeed.
3. Position yourself so that the open‑underside of the wheel is
facing away fromyou.
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 bybending.
5. Remove the tool from the work surface before turning
the tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying
itdown.
Cutting Metal
For cutting with bonded abrasives, always use the
guardtype1.
When cutting, work with moderate feed, adapted to the
material being cut. Do not exert pressure onto the cutting disc,
tilt or oscillate themachine.
Do not reduce the speed of running down cutting discs by
applying sidewardpressure.
The machine must always work in an upgrinding motion.
Otherwise, the danger exists of it being pushed uncontrolled
out of thecut.
When cutting profiles and square bar, it is best to start at the
smallest crosssection.
Rough Grinding
Never use a cutting disc forroughing.
Always use the guard type27.
The best roughing results are achieved when setting the
machine at an angle of 30° to 40°. Move the machine back and
forth with moderate pressure. In this manner, the workpiece
will not become too hot, does not discolour and no grooves
areformed.
Cutting Stone
The machine shall be used only for drycutting.
For cutting stone, it is best to use a diamond cutting disc.
Operate the machine only with additional dust protectionmask.
Working Advice
Exercise caution when cutting slots in structuralwalls.
Slots in structural walls are subject to the country‑specific
regulations. These regulations are to be observed under all
circumstances. Before beginning work, consult the responsible
structural engineer, architect or the constructionsupervisor.
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 regularcleaning.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start‑up can causeinjury.
The charger and battery pack are notserviceable.
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additionallubrication.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing
with dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around
the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and approved
dust mask when performing thisprocedure.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals
for cleaning the non‑metallic parts of the tool. These
chemicals may weaken the materials used in these parts.
Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any
part of the tool into aliquid.
Optional Accessories
WARNING: Since accessories, other than those offered
by DeWALT, have not been tested with this product, use
of such accessories with this tool could be hazardous.
