accidental unplugging, or power failure. If the slider switch is locked on when the power is connected, the tool may start unexpectedly. To start the tool, slide the ON/OFF slider switch 6 toward the front of the tool using the rear portion of the switch. To stop the tool, release the ON/OFF 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. Spindle Lock (Fig. A) The spindle lock 2 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. Tuckpointing and Masonry Cutting Application (Fig. G) 1. Set the desired depth of cut, see Depth of Cut Adjustment under Assembly and Adjustments. 2. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching it to the work surface. 3. Position yourself so the open underside of the shroud and the wheel are facing away from you. 4. Place the edge 20 of shroud onto the work surface and begin cut by plunging into the work surface. NOTE: Keep the edge 20 of the shroud against the work surface to ensure proper dust collection. 5. With the shroud oriented as shown in Figure G, move the grinder right to left along the work surface. For the best results the grinder should be positioned at a 45° angle to the dust port when tuckpointing/cutting. 6. Remove the tool from work surface before turning off the tool. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying it down. Masonry Edge Grinding and Cutting (Fig. H) 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. CAUTION: Wheels used for edge grinding and cutting may break or kick back if they bend or twist while the tool is being used. In all edge grinding/cutting operations, the open side of the shroud must be positioned away from the operator. 1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool to the work surface. English 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 may cause wheel breakage. Fig. H 5. Remove the tool from the work surface before turning the tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying it down. MAINTENANCE WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. 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. To reduce the risk of injury, only DeWALT recommended accessories should be used with this product. Recommended accessories for use with your tool are available at extra cost from your local dealer or authorized service center.
