GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY

WARNINGS



WARNING: 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.

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.

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

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL

OPERATIONS

Safety Warnings Common for Grinding,

Sanding, Wire Brushing, or Abrasive

Cutting-Off Operations

a ) This power tool is intended to function as

a grinder, sander, or 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 ) Operations such as polishing are 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 arbor 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

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.

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

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.

h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean

and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and

grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and

control of the tool in unexpected situations.

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 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.

e ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is

damaged or modified. Damaged or modified

batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting

in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to

fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to

fire or temperature above 265 °F (130°C) may

causeexplosion.

g ) Follow all charging instructions and do not

charge the battery pack or tool outside the

temperature range specified in the instructions.

Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the

specified range may damage the battery and increase

the risk of fire.

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.

b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service

of battery packs should only be performed by the

manufacturer or authorized service providers.

ENGLISH

t ) The arbor size of hubbed 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.

u ) Use clamps or another practical way to secure

and support the workpiece to a stable platform.

Holding the work by hand against your body leaves it

unstable and may lead to loss ofcontrol.

Kickback and Related Warnings

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.

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

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 the 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

electricshock.

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 auxiliary handle. Tighten the handle

securely. The auxiliary handle should always be used

to maintain control of the tool at alltimes.

r ) When starting the tool with a new or

replacement wheel, or a new or replacement

wire brush installed, hold the tool in a well

protected area and let it run for one minute. If

the wheel has an undetected crack or flaw, it

should burst in less than one minute. If the wire

brush has loose wires, they will be detected.

Never start the tool with a person in line with the

wheel. This includes theoperator.

s ) To prevent the spindle end from contacting the

bottom of the hole of the abrasive product, use

accessories that have a threaded hole depth of

at least 21 mm. Failure to use an accessory with the

appropriate thread depth could result in damage to

the abrasive product and injury to the operator or

persons in thearea.

ENGLISH

Additional Safety Information



WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part

of it. Damage or personal injury couldresult.



WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday

eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or

dust mask if operation is dusty. ALL USERS AND

BYSTANDERS MUST 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

tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded

and areunsafe.

b ) The grinding surface of center 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 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.

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 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 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 and

centrifugalforces.

c ) Safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields

and a full face shield compliant with ANSI Z87.1

MUST be worn by the operator and others that

are within 50' (15.2 m) of the use of thisproduct.

Important Safety Instructions for All

Battery Chargers



WARNING: Read all safety warnings,

instructions, and cautionary markings for the

battery pack, charger and product. Failure to

follow the warnings and instructions may result

in electric shock, fire and/or seriousinjury.

• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with

any chargers other than a

DeWALT

charger.

DeWALT

chargers and battery packs are specifically designed to

worktogether.

• These chargers are not intended for any uses other

than charging

DeWALT

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

battery is in Shipping Mode. Strings of cells are electrically

disconnected within the pack resulting in three batteries

with a lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to one

battery with a higher Watt hour rating. This increased

quantity of three batteries with the lower Watt hour rating

can exempt the pack from certain shipping regulations that

are imposed upon the higher Watt hour batteries.

The battery label indicates two Watt hour ratings (see

example). Depending on how the battery is shipped, the

appropriate Watt hour rating must be used to determine

the applicable shipping requirements. If utilizing the

shipping cap, the pack will be considered 3 batteries at

the Watt hour rating indicated for “Shipping”. If shipping

without the cap or in a tool, the pack will be considered one

battery at the Watt hour rating indicated next to “Use”.

USE: 120 Wh Shipping: 3 x 40 Wh

Example of Use and Shipping Label Marking

For example, Shipping Wh rating might indicate 3 x 40 Wh,

meaning 3 batteries of 40 Watt hours each. The Use Wh

rating might indicate 120 Wh (1 battery implied).

ENGLISH

Never operate the charger if the fan does not operate

properly or if ventilation slots are blocked. Do not permit

foreign objects to enter the interior of thecharger.

Electronic Protection System

Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection

System that will protect the battery pack against

overloading, overheating or deepdischarge.

The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic

Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the lithium-

ion battery pack on the charger until it is fullycharged.

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 – 75°F (18° C– 24°C). DO NOT charge

when the battery pack is below +40°F (+4.5°C), or

above +104°F (+40°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. If the battery pack does not charge properly:

a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp

or other appliance;

switch which turns power off when you turn out

the lights;

c. Move the charger and battery pack to a location

where the surrounding air temperature is

approximately 65°F – 75°F (18°C – 24°C);

d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery

pack and charger to your local servicecenter.

4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to

produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily

done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these

conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may

also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire

with no adverse effect on the batterypack.

5. 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 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.

6. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any

Precautions To Take When Working on

a Painted Workpiece

1. Sanding or wire brushing of lead based paint is NOT

RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling

the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead

poisoning is to children and pregnantwomen.

2. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint

contains lead without a chemical analysis, we

recommend the following precautions when sanding

any paint:

Personal Safety

1. No children or pregnant women should enter the work

area where the paint sanding or wire brushing is being

done until all clean up iscompleted.

2. A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons

entering the work area. The filter should be replaced

daily or whenever the wearer has difficultybreathing.

NOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working

with lead paint dust and fumes should be used.

Ordinary painting masks do not offer this protection.

See your local hardware dealer for the proper N.I.O.S.H.

approvedmask.

3. NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in

the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint

particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE

eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or

smoking should not be left in the work area where dust

would settle onthem.

Environmental Safety

1. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to

minimize the amount of dustgenerated.

2. Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed

with plastic sheeting of 4 milsthickness.

3. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking

of paint dust outside the workarea.

Cleaning and Disposal

1. All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed

and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of

the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be

changedfrequently.

2. Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed

of along with any dust chips or other removal debris.

They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and

disposed of through regular trash pick-upprocedures.

During clean up, children and pregnant women should

be kept away from the immediate workarea.

3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by

children should be washed thoroughly before being

usedagain.

MAINTENANCE



WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal

injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack

before making any adjustments or removing/

installing attachments or accessories. An

accidental start-up can causeinjury.

The best storage place for accessories is one that is cool and

dry away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.

2. Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing

the tool to operate at high speed. Grinding/cutting rate

is greatest when the tool operates at highspeed.

3. Position yourself so that the open-underside of the

wheel is facing away fromyou.

4. Once a cut is begun and a notch is established in

the workpiece, do not change the angle of the cut.

Changing the angle will cause the wheel to bend and

may cause wheel breakage. Edge grinding wheels

are not designed to withstand side pressures caused

bybending.

5. Remove the tool from the work surface before turning

the tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying

itdown.

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents

and dust ports with clean, dry air at least once a

week. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always

wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection 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 plastic
