WARNING! Read all safety warnings

and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or batteryoperated (cordless) power tool.

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power

tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way. Do

3

ENGLISH

not use any adapter plugs with earthed

(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment.

Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.

The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) 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.

This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush 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)

Operation such as polishing is not recommended to be performed with this power tool.

Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.

c)

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.

d)

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.

e)

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.

f)

Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted by flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must fit the

locating diameter of the flange. Accessories that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.

g)

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

ENGLISH

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.

h)

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 stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation.

Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.

i)

Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective

equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.

j)

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool

“live” and could give the operator an electrical shock.

k)

Position the cord clear of the spinning

accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.

l)

Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop.

The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.

m)

Do not run the power tool while carrying

it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.

n)

Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.

The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.

o)

Do not operate the power tool near

flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

p)

Do not use accessories that require liquid

coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.

FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR ALL OPERATIONS

Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding.

For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching.

Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.

Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

a)

Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction

during start up. The operator can control torque reaction or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.

b)

Never place your hand near the rotating

accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.

c)

Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback

occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.

d)

Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and

snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.

e)

Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving

blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.

Safety Warnings Specific for

Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-Off

Operations

a)

Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specific guard designed for the selected

wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.

b)

The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must be mounted below the plane

of the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that projects through the plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.

c)

The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of

wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard helps to protect the operator from broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.

d)

Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel.

Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.

e)

Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shape for your

selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.

f)

Do not use worn down wheels from larger

power tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.

Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations

a)

Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut.

Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.

b)

Do not position your body in line with and

behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operations, is moving away from your body, the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.

6

c) When wheel is binding or when

interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may

occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.

d)

Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed

and carefully reenter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.

e)

Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and

kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.

f)

Use extra caution when making a “pocket

cut” into existing walls or other blind areas.

The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.

Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding

Operations

a)

Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations, when selecting sanding

paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.

Safety Warnings Specific for Wire

Brushing Operations

a)

Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary operation.

Do not overstress the wires by applying

excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.

b)

If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, do not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush

with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due to work load and centrifugal forces.

Additional Safety Rules for Grinders

•

Do not use Type 11 (flaring cup) wheels on

this tool. Using inappropriate accessories can result in injury.

ENGLISH

• Always use side handle. Tighten the handle

securely. The side handle should always be used to maintain control of the tool at all times.

Metal Applications

10

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 inthe 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.

Cutting Metal

For cutting with bonded abrasives, always use a protection 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.

Always use the guard type 27.

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 countryspecific regulations. These regulations are to be observed under all circumstances. Before beginning

ENGLISH

work, consult the responsible structural engineer, architect or the construction supervisor.

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.
