Precautions to Take When Wire Brushing Paint
1. Wire brushing of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED
due to the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust.
The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and
pregnant women.
2. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains
lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend the
following precautions when wire brushing any paint:
Personal Safety
1. No children or pregnant women should enter the work area
where the paint removal is being done until all clean up
is completed.
2. A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons
entering the work area. The filter should be replaced daily or
whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing.
nOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead
paint dust and fumes should be used. Ordinary painting
masks do not offer this protection. See your local hardware
dealer for the proper respiratory protection.
3. NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in the
work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint particles.
Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE eating, drinking
or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or smoking should not be
left in the work area where dust would settle on them.
Environmental Safety
1. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize
the amount of dust generated.
2. Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed
with plastic sheeting of 4 mils thickness.
3. Wire brushing should be done in a manner to reduce
tracking of paint dust outside the work area.
Cleaning and Disposal
1. All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed
and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of the
wire brushing project. Vacuum filter bags should be
changed frequently.
2. Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed
of along with any dust chips or other removal debris. They
should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and disposed
of through regular trash pick-up procedures.
During clean up, children and pregnant women should be
kept away from the immediate work area.
3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children
should be washed thoroughly before being used again.
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 D WALT 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.
To avoid build-up of metal swarf inside the machine, we
recommend to clear the ventilation slots on a daily basis. Refer
to Maintenance.

Cutting Metal

For cutting with bonded abrasives, always use the guard
type 1.
When cutting, work with moderate feed, adapted to the
material being cut. Do not exert pressure onto the cutting disc,
tilt or oscillate the machine.
Do not reduce the speed of running down cutting discs by
applying sideward pressure.
The machine must always work in an upgrinding motion.
Otherwise, the danger exists of it being pushed uncontrolled
out of the cut.
When cutting profiles and square bar, it is best to start at the
smallest cross section.
Rough Grinding
never use a cutting disc for roughing. always use the
guard type 27.
The best roughing results are achieved when setting the
machine at an angle of 30° to 40°. Move the machine back and
forth with moderate pressure. In this manner, the workpiece
will not become too hot, does not discolour and no grooves
are formed.
Cutting Stone
The machine shall be used only for dry cutting.
For cutting stone, it is best to use a diamond cutting disc.
Operate the machine only with additional dust protection mask.
Working Advice
Exercise caution when cutting slots in structural walls.
Slots in structural walls are subject to the country-specific
regulations. These regulations are to be observed under all
circumstances.Before beginning work, consult the responsible
structural engineer, architect or the construction supervisor.
MAINTENANCE
Your D WALT power tool has been designed to operate
e
over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool
care and regular cleaning.

AVVERTENZA: per ridurre il rischio di gravi lesioni
personali, spegnere l'apparato e staccare il pacco
batteria prima di eseguire qualsiasi regolazione o
rimozione/installazione di dotazioni o accessori. Un
avvio accidentale può causare lesioni.
The charger and battery pack are not serviceable.
