INTENDED USE
Your D28415 angle grinder has been designed for
professional grinding applications.
DO NOT use grinding wheels other than center
depressed wheels and flap-disc.
DO NOT use under wet conditions or in presence of
flammable liquids or gases.
These heavy-duty angle grinders are professional
power tools.
DO NOT let children come into contact with the
tool. Supervision is required when inexperienced
operators use this tool.
Soft Start Feature
(D28415-QS only)
The soft start feature allows a slow speed build-up
to avoid an initial jerk when starting. This feature is
particularly useful when working in confined spaces.
Auto-balance Feature
The auto balance feature continuously adjusts the
balance to reduce the vibration of the machine when
it is running. This improves user comfort during the
operation and is particularly useful when using the
machine for long periods of time.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one
voltage only. Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Your D
WALT tool is double insulated in
E
accordance with EN 60745; therefore no
earth wire is required.
WARNING: 115 V units have to
be operated via a fail-safe isolating
transformer with an earth screen
between the primary and secondary
winding.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by a specially prepared cord available through the
