INSTRUCTION MANUAL DC415-XE HEAVY-DUTY 36V CORDLESS FINISHING GRINDER
1. WORK AREA a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents. b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. 2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
5. BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE a. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. b. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. c. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. 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. • Before using, inspect recommended accessory for cracks or flaws. If such a crack or flaw is evident, discard the accessory.
• The label on your tool may include the following symbols. The symbols and their definitions are as follows: V ................. volts A ...............amperes Hz ............... hertz W ..............watts min ............. minutes ...........alternating current no ..............no load speed .......... direct current .............. Class I Construction .............earthing terminal ................... (grounded) .............safety alert symbol ............... Class II Construction …/min .......
• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord. • Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. • Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution. • An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety.
PROBLEM POWERLINE When the charger is used with some portable power sources such as generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the charger may temporarily suspend operation. The three red lights will flash together with two fast blinks followed by a pause. This indicates that the power souce is out of limits. BAD BATTERY The charger can detect a weak or damaged battery. The three red lights will flash together with rapid blinking.
To remove the battery pack from the tool, press the release button (J) and firmly pull the battery pack out of the tool handle. Insert it into the charger as described in the charger section of this manual. c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 18°- 24°C (65°F - 75°F). d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local service center. 4.
be serviced and re-assembled by a DEWALT service center. Failure to have the tool serviced may cause brush, motor and bearing failure. 3. Re-install screws to attach the gear case to the motor housing. Tighten screws to 2.08 Nm (18 in-lbs.) torque. Overtightening could cause screws to strip. FIG. 3 ACCESSORIES F It is important to choose the correct guards, backing pads and flanges to use with grinder accessories. See pages 9 and 10 for information on choosing the correct accessories.

OPERATION 1. Open the guard latch (L), and align the lugs (M) on the M guard with the slots (N) on the gear case. 2. Push the guard down until the guard lugs engage and rotate freely in the groove on the gear case hub. 3. With the guard latch open, rotate the guard (H) into the desired working position. The guard body should be positioned between the spindle and the operator to N provide maximum operator protection. L 4. Close the guard latch to secure the guard on the gear case.
To engage the lock, depress the spindle lock button and rotate the spindle until you are unable to rotate the spindle further. 6.35 mm (1/4") WHEELS raised section (pilot) fits into the center of the wheel. If the wheel you are installing is 3.17 mm (1/8") thick or less, place the threaded clamp nut on the spindle so that the raised section (pilot) is CLAMP NUT not against the wheel. 4. While depressing the spindle lock button, tighten the clamp nut with a wrench. BACKING FLANGE 5.
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool to the work surface. 2. Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing the tool to operate at high speed. Grinding 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 will cause the wheel to bend and may cause wheel breakage.
Precautions To Take When Sanding Paint 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. 1. Sanding 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.
4. Close the guard latch to secure the on guard the gear case cover. You should be unable to rotate the guard by hand when the latch is in closed position. Do not operate grinder with a loose guard or clamp lever in open position. 5. To remove the guard, open the guard latch, rotate H the guard so that the lugs and slots are aligned and pull up on the guard. NOTE: The guard is pre-adjusted to the diameter of the gear case hub at the factory.
• USING CUTTING WHEELS 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. 1. Allow tool to reach full speed before touching tool to work surface. 2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing tool to operate at high speed. Cutting rate is greatest when the tool operates at high speed. 3.
To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment (including brush inspection and replacement) should be performed by certified service centers or other qualified service organizations, always using identical replacement parts.
