English • 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.

[Maximum lanyard length: 6.5 ft (2m)] • Use only with lanyards appropriate for this tool type and rated for at least 12.0 lbs (5.43 Kg). • Crush, cut or entanglement hazard. Do not use near moving parts, mechanisms or running machinery. • Do not anchor the tool lanyard to anything on your body. Anchor to a rigid structure that can withstand the forces of a dropped tool. 6 • Make sure the lanyard is properly secure at each end prior to use. • Inspect tool and lanyard before each use for damage and proper function (including fabric and stitching). Do not use if damaged or not functioning properly. • Do not alter the lanyard connection or use in a manner other than as instructed in this manual. • Only attach tool to a lanyard with a locking carabiner. Do not attach by looping or knotting the lanyard. Do not use rope or cord. • Electrical shock hazard. Be sure power is off when working in high voltage areas. Some lanyards are conductive. • Dropped tools will swing on the lanyard, which could cause injury or loss of balance. • Do not carry the tool by attachment device or the lanyard. • Do not attach more than one tool to each lanyard. • Only use appropriate DeWALT brand attachment point. NEVER modify tools to create attachment points. • Only transfer the tool between hands while properly balanced in a stable orientation. • Do not attach lanyards to tool in a way that keeps guards, switches or lock-offs from operating properly. • Avoid getting tangled in the lanyard. • Keep lanyard away from the cutting area of the tool. • Do not use lanyards or attachment devices to get additional leverage from the tool. • Do not use for personal fall protection. • Falling object hazard! Only change accessories and attachments where a dropped object won't cause a hazard below you. Consult your AHJ or site supervisor for procedures for working at height. • Use multi-action and screw gate type carabiners. Do not use single action spring clip carabiners. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE Motor Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss of power and overheating. DeWALT tools are factory tested; if this tool does not operate, check power supply. COMPONENTS (FIG. A) WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of it. Damage or personal injury could result. Refer to Figure A at the beginning of this manual for a complete list of components. Intended Use Your heavy-duty cut off tool has been designed for professional grinding, sanding, wire brush, and cut-off applications at various work sites (i.e., construction sites). DO NOT use under wet conditions or in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
