• Do not use separate reducing bushings or adapters to
adapt large hole abrasive wheels.
• Never use the tool without the guard in place.
• The tool is not designed to be used with a
grinding cup.
• Do not use the power tool with a cut-off stand.
• Never use blotters together with bonded
abrasive products.

Proper Hand Position (Fig. F)
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS
use proper hand position as shown.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury,
ALWAYS
hold securely in anticipation of a
sudden reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the side handle
5
, with the other hand on the body of the tool, as shown in
figure F.
Switching On and Off (Fig. A)
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
2
, 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
2
toward the back
of the tool, then depress the paddle switch
1
. 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
9
offers increased comfort in extended
use applications. To lock the tool on, push the lock-off lever
2
toward the back of the tool then depress the paddle switch
1
. With the tool running, depress the lock-on button
9
. 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 (Fig. A)
The spindle lock
3
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
e
WALT
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.
