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.
Rough Grinding
Never use a cutting disc for roughing.
The best roughing results are achieved when setting
the machine at an angle of 30° to 40° . Move the
machine back and forth with moderate pressure. In
this manner, the workpiece will not become too hot,
does not discolour and no grooves are formed.
Cutting Stone
The machine shall be used only for dry cutting.
For cutting stone, it is best to use a diamond cutting
disc.
Operate the machine only with additional dust
protection mask.
Working Advice
Exercise caution when cutting slots in
structural walls.
Slots in structural walls are subject to the country-
specific regulations. These regulations are to be
observed under all circumstances.
Before beginning work, consult the responsible
structural engineer, architect or the construction
supervisor.
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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, turn tool
off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or
accessories.
An accidental start-up
can cause injury.
The charger and battery pack are not serviceable.
There are no serviceable parts inside.
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.
NOTICE:
Do not lubricate the tool as it
will damage the internal parts.
Cleaning
WARNING:
Blow dirt and dust out of
the main housing with dry air as often as
dirt is seen collecting in and around the
air vents. Wear approved eye protection
and approved dust mask when
performing this procedure.
WARNING:
Never use solvents or
other harsh chemicals for cleaning the
non-metallic parts of the tool. These
chemicals may weaken the materials
used in these parts. Use a cloth
dampened only with water and mild
soap. Never let any liquid get inside the
tool; never immerse any part of the tool
into a liquid.
