and applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect
tool from power source before making
any adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories. Before reconnecting
the tool, depress and release the trigger switch to
ensure that the tool is off.
WARNING:
• Ensure all materials to be ground or cut are
secured in place.
• Secure and support the workpiece. 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
movement of the workpiece and loss of control.
Movement of the workpiece or loss of control
may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
• 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.
Proper Hand Position (Fig.6)
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
(figure 1), with the other hand on the body of the tool, as shown
in figure 6.
Switches
CAUTION: Hold the body of the tool firmly to
maintain control of the tool at start up and
during use and until the wheel or accessory
stops rotating. Make sure the wheel has come
to a complete stop before laying the tool down.
nOTE: To reduce unexpected tool movement, do not switch the
tool on or off while under load conditions. Allow the grinder to
run up to full speed before touching the work surface. Lift the
tool from the surface before turning the tool off. Allow the tool
to stop rotating before putting it down.
Slider Switch DWE8100S & DWE8110S (fig. 3)
WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a
power supply, be sure the slider switch is in
the off position by pressing the rear part of the
switch and releasing. Ensure the slider switch is
in the off position 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 slider switch
is locked on when the power is connected, the
tool will start unexpectedly.
To start the tool, slide the slider switch (g) toward the front of
the tool. To stop the tool, release the slider switch.
For continuous operation, slide the switch toward the front of
the tool and press the forward part of the switch inward. To stop
the tool while operating in continuous mode, press the rear part
of the slider switch and release.
Toggle Switch DWE8100T (fig. 3)
WARNING: Before using the tool, check that
the handle is tightened securely.
To turn on the tool, lift up the button(g1) to ''1" position, to turn
off the tool, push the toggle switch Button(g1) to "0" position.
WARNING: Do not switch the tool on or off
when under load.
Spindle Lock(Fig. 1)
The spindle lock (a) 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 an
authorised DeWALT 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.
