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

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 an
authorised D
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.
MAINTENANCE
