Fig. J 5 DWE46166N 5 DWE46144N Trigger Switch and Lock-off Lever (Fig. K) DWE46166N WARNING: Before using the tool, check that the side  handle is tightened securely. CAUTION: Hold the side handle and 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. 1. To turn the tool on, push the lock-off lever 3 toward the back of the tool, then depress the trigger switch 1 . The tool will run while the switch is depressed. 2. Turn the tool off by releasing the releasing switch. WARNING: Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching tool to the work surface. Lift the tool from the work surface before turning the tool off. Fig. K 1 English 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. 1. To turn the tool on, push the lock-off lever 3 toward the back of the tool, then depress the paddle switch 2 . The tool will run while the switch is depressed. 2. Turn the tool off by releasing the paddle switch. Spindle Lock (Fig. A) The spindle lock 4 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. Surface Grinding, Sanding and Wire Brushing (Fig. L) CAUTION: Always use the correct guard per the instructions in this manual. 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. To perform work on the surface of a workpiece: 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. Material removal rate is greatest when the tool operates at high speed.
