Using Depressed Centre Grinding Wheels
SURFACE GRINDING WITH GRINDING WHEELS
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool
to the work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing the
tool to operate at high speed.
Grinding rate is greatest when the tool operates at high
speed.
3. Maintain a 20° to 30° angle between the tool and work surface.
4. Continuously move the tool in a forward and back motion
to avoid creating gouges in the work surface.
5. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off.
Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying it down.
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 an
authorised DEWALT 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.

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power
source before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories
. Be sure the
trigger switch is in the OFF position. An accidental start-up
can cause injury.
Pop-off Brushes
The motor will be automatically shut off indicating that the
carbon brushes are nearly worn out and that the tool needs
