DeWalt D28106 Instruction Manual page 3

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper foot-
ing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
• Young children and the infirm. This appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be super-
vised to ensure they do not play with this appliance."
• Replacement of the supply cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised Black & Decker Service Centre in
order to avoid a hazard.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventative safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have
the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous
when used on another tool.
SERVICE
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of
injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instruc-
tions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or
injury.
Additional Specific Safety Instructions for Grinders
• Check that the grinding wheel backing flange has a yellow rubber ring (S)
installed, see Figure 1. Replace rubber ring if missing, damaged or worn. See
page 9 for details regarding proper accessory installation.
WARNING: The grinding wheel or accessory may loosen during coast-down of the
tool when shut off if rubber ring is missing or damaged. If grinding wheel or accesso-
ry loosens, it may dismount from the machine and may cause serious personal injury.
• Always use proper guard with grinding wheel. A guard protects operator from
broken wheel fragments and wheel contact.
• Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool
warning label. Wheels and other accessories running over rated speed can fly
apart and cause injury. Accessory ratings must be above listed minimum wheel
speed as shown on tool nameplate.
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact
with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the
operator.
• Do not use Type 11 (flaring cup) wheels on this tool. Using inappropriate
accessories can result in injury.
• ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN USING THIS TOOL.
• Use of accessories not specified in this manual is not recommended and
may be hazardous. Use of power boosters that would cause the tool to be driv-
en at speeds greater than its rated speed constitutes misuse.
• Do not use circular saw blades or any other toothed blades with this tool.
Serious injury may result.
• When starting the tool with a new or replacement wheel, or a new or replace-
ment wire brush installed, hold the tool in a well protected area and let it run
for one minute. If the wheel has an undetected crack or flaw, it should burst in
less than one minute. If the wire brush has loose wires, they will be detected.
Never start the tool with a person in line with the wheel. This includes the operator.
