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 in accordance with the below maintenance
instructions.
Optional accessories
Consult your dealer for further information on the
appropriate accessories.
Maintenance
Your D
E
WALT 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 regular cleaning.
Pop-off brushes
The motor will be automatically shut off indicating
that the carbon brushes are nearly worn out and that
the tool needs servicing. The carbon brushes are not
user-serviceable. Take the tool to an authorised
D
E
WALT repair agent.
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication.
Cleaning
Keep the ventilation slots clear and regularly clean
the housing with a soft cloth.
Clearing the ventilation slots
To avoid build-up of dust inside the machine,
we recommend to clear the ventilation slots on a
daily basis.
• Unplug the machine.
• Blow dry compressed air through the ventilation
slots.
• Clear the ventilation slots using a soft brush or
dry cloth. Do not use metallic objects as these
might damage the internal parts.
Protecting the environment

recycled materials helps prevent
