g ) Do not attempt to do curved cutting.
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, which can lead to seriousinjury.
Additional Safety Instructions for
Sanding Operations
a ) Use proper sized sanding disk paper. Follow
manufacturers recommendations, when selecting sanding
paper. Larger sanding paper extending too far beyond the sanding
pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing
of the disc orkickback.
Additional Safety Instructions for Wire
BrushingOperations
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/orskin.
b ) If the use of a guard is specified 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 centrifugalforces.
Additional Safety Rules for Grinders
a ) Do not use Type 11(flaring cup) wheels on this tool.
Using inappropriate accessories can result ininjury.
b ) Always use side handle. Tighten the handle securely. The
side handle should always be used to maintain control of the tool
at alltimes.
c ) When using segmented diamond wheels, use only
diamond wheels with a peripheral gap not greater than
10mm and negative rakeangle (refer to Additional
Information for Guards and AccessoriesChart.)

device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
specially prepared cord available through the DeWALT
serviceorganisation.
