General Power Tool Safety Warnings

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 battery-operated (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 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.

English

2

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,

use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected

supply. Use of a GFCI 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 energizing 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 jewelry.

Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving

parts. Loose clothes, jewelry 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.

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.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 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) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of

English

3

battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another

battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery

packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of

injury and fire.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other

metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws,

or other small metal objects that can make a connection

from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals

together may cause burns or a fire.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from

the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,

flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek

medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause

irritation or burns.

6) 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR

ALL OPERATIONS

Safety Warnings Common for Grinding,

Sanding, Wire Brushing, Polishing or

Abrasive, Cutting-Off 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 arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or

any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of

the power tool. Accessories with arbor 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 wheels 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

English

4

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.

h) 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.

i) 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 shock the operator.

j) 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.

k) 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.

l) 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.

m) 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.

n) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.

Sparks could ignite these materials.

o) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.

Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution

or shock.

p) Do not use Type 11 (flaring cup) wheels on this tool. Using

inappropriate accessories can result in injury.

q) Always use side handle. Tighten the handle securely. The

side handle should always be used to maintain control of the

tool at all times.

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 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.

English

5

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 Speciﬁ c 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 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 operator from broken wheel fragments and

accidental contact with wheel.

c) 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.

d) 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.

e) 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 Speciﬁ c 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 operation, is

moving away from your body, the possible kickback may propel

the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.

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.

English

6

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 Speciﬁ c for Sanding

Operations

a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.

Follow manufacturers 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 Speciﬁ c for Polishing

Operations

a) Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet

or its attachment strings to spin freely. Tuck away or

trim any loose attachment strings. Loose and spinning

attachment strings can entangle your fingers or snag on the

workpiece.

Safety Warnings Speciﬁ c 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 and centrifugal forces.

Additional Safety Information

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are

NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is

dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,

grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals

known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other

reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry

products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you

do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:

work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety

equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to

filter out microscopic particles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.

Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with

soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or

lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust,

which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury.

Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate

for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.

pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose

nails, screws, keys, etc. Transporting batteries can possibly

cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in

contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand

tools and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous

Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in

commerce or on airplanes (e.g., packed in suitcases and carry-on

luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So

when transporting individual battery packs, make sure that the battery

terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could

contact them and cause a short circuit.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM ION (Li-Ion)

• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely

damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can

explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when

lithium ion battery packs are burned.

• If battery contents come into contact with the skin,

immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If battery

liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15

minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed,

the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of liquid organic

carbonates and lithium salts.

• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory

irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical

attention.

WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if

exposed to spark or flame.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside the

charger. Electric shock may result.

CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only

D

EWALT rechargeable battery packs. Other types of batteries may

overheat and burst resulting in personal injury and property damage.

NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the

power supply, the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign

materials of a conductive nature, such as, but not limited to, grinding

dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil or any buildup of metallic

particles should be kept away from the charger cavities. Always

unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery

pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger before attempting to clean.

• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any

chargers other than the ones in this manual. The charger and

• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than

charging D

EWALT rechargeable batteries. Any other uses

may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.

• Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.

• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting

the charger. This will reduce the risk of damage to the electric

plug and cord.

• Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be

stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage

or stress.

• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely

necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of

fire, electric shock or electrocution.

• When operating a charger outdoors, always provide a dry

location and use an extension cord suitable for outdoor

use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electric shock.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG

or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge

number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is,

16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord

will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and

overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the

total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the

minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to

use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in

doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge number,

the heavier the cord.

Charge Indicators

This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise.

Problems are indicated by the red light flashing at a fast rate. If this

occurs, re-insert the battery pack into the charger. If the problem

persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the charger is

working properly. If the new pack charges correctly, then the original

pack is defective and should be returned to a service center or other

collection site for recycling. If the new battery pack elicits the same

trouble indication as the original, have the charger and the battery

pack tested at an authorized service center.

HOT/COLD DELAY

This charger has a hot/cold delay feature: when the charger detects a

battery that is hot, it automatically starts a delay, suspending charging

until the battery has cooled. After the battery has cooled, the charger

automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature

ensures maximum battery life. The red light flashes long, then short

while in the hot/cold delay mode.

LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER

The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the charge

indicator showing Pack Charged.

English

WEAK BATTERY PACKS: Weak batteries will continue to function

but should not be expected to perform as much work.

FAULTY BATTERY PACKS: This charger will not charge a faulty

battery pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery pack by refusing

to light or by displaying problem pack or charger.

NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger.

PROBLEM POWER LINE

Some chargers have a Problem Powerline indicator. When the charger

is used with some portable power sources such as generators or

sources that convert DC to AC, the charger may temporarily suspend

operation, flashing the red light with two fast blinks followed by a

pause. This indicates the power source is out of limits.

Important Charging Notes

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery

pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65˚F and

75 ˚F (18 ˚ – 24 ˚C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air

temperature below +40˚F (+4.5˚C), or above +105˚F (+40.5˚C).

This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery

pack.

2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the touch

while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate

a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use,

avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment

such as in a metal shed or an uninsulated trailer.

3. A cold battery pack will charge at about half the rate of a warm

battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate

throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to

maximum charge rate even if the battery pack warms.

4. If the battery pack does not charge properly:

a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other

appliance;

b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which

5. To remove the wheel, depress the spindle lock button and loosen

the threaded clamp nut with a wrench.

NOTE: If the wheel spins after the clamp nut is tightened, check the

orientation of the threaded clamp nut. If a thin wheel is installed with

the pilot on the clamp nut against the wheel, it will spin because the

height of the pilot prevents the clamp nut from holding the wheel.

SURFACE GRINDING WITH GRINDING WHEELS

1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool to the

work surface.

2. Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing the tool

to operate at high speed. Grinding rate is greatest when the tool

operates at high speed.

3. Maintain a 20° to 30° angle between

FIG. 11

20˚–30˚

the tool and work surface.

4. Continuously move the tool in a

forward and back motion to avoid

creating gouges in the work surface.

5. Remove the tool from work surface

before turning tool off. Allow the tool to

stop rotating before laying it down.

EDGE GRINDING WITH GRINDING WHEELS

WARNING: Wheels used for cutting and edge grinding may break

or kickback if they bend or twist while the tool is being used to do

cut-off work or deep grinding. To reduce the risk of serious injury, limit

the use of these wheels with a standard Type 27 guard to shallow

cutting and notching (less than 1/2" [13 mm] in depth). The open side

of the guard must be positioned away from the operator. For deeper

cutting with a Type 1 cut-off wheel, use a closed Type 1 guard. Refer

to pages 14 and 15 for more information.

1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool to the

work surface.
