Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e)
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g)
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with
these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work
to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE
a)
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage range only. Always check that
the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. 220–240 V AC
means your tool will operate on alternating current. Operation at a voltage outside this
range can cause loss of power and can result in overheating. All D
E
WALT tools are
factory tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply. Your D
E
WALT
tool is double insulated, therefore no earth wire is required.

Safety Instructions for All Operations
a)
This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush,
polisher or cut-off tool.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b)
Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended
by the tool manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
c)
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum
speed marked on the power tool.
Accessories running faster than their rated
speed can break and fly apart.
d)
The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within
the capacity rating of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
e)
The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must
properly fit the spindle of the power tool.
Accessories with arbour holes that
do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance,
vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
f)
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use, inspect the accessory
such as abrasive wheel for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or
excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory
is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After
inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away
from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum
no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break apart
during this test time.
g)
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask,
hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of
