OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and
applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit
off and disconnect machine from power source
before installing and removing accessories, before
adjusting or changing set-ups or when making
repairs. Before reconnecting the tool, depress and
release the trigger switch to ensure that the tool is off. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING:
•
Ensure all materials to be ground or cut are secured
in place.
•
Use clamps or a vice to hold and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to
clamp and support the workpiece securely to prevent
the movement of the workpiece and loss of control.
Movement of the workpiece or loss of control may
create a hazard and cause personal injury.
•
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than
by hand.
•
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.
•
Always wear regular working gloves while operating
this tool.
•
The gear case becomes very hot during use.
•
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool. Do not exert
side pressure on the disc.
•
Avoid overloading. Should the tool become hot, let it
run a few minutes under no load condition to cool the
accessory. Do not touch accessories before they have
cooled. The discs become very hot during use.
•
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.
•
Be aware, the wheel continues to rotate after the tools
is switched off.
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
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
of the tool, then depress the paddle switch
while the switch is depressed. Turn the tool off by releasing the
paddle switch.
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
WALT repair agent.
e
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.
