FIG. 19 E R S USING CUTTING WHEELS (FIG. 20) WARNING: Do not use edge grinding/cutting wheels for surface grinding applications because these wheels are not designed for side pressures encountered with surface grinding. Wheel breakage and injury may result. 1. Allow tool to reach full speed before touching tool to work surface. 2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing tool to operate at high speed. 3. Once you begin a cut, maintain the angle of the cutting wheel to the work surface. This will keep you from bending the wheel which could result in wheel breakage and injury. 4. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before setting it down. FIG. 20 MAINTENANCE WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury. Cleaning WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents 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. WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid. Accessories WARNING: Since accessories, other than those offered by DEWALT, have not been tested with this product, use of such accessories with this tool could be hazardous.
