General Power Tool Safety Warnings

_ ARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings

and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury,

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or 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. Do not

use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified p/ugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,

ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the

power tool Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged

or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor

use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

0 If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault

circuff interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFC/ reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a

power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of

drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may

result in serious personal injury,

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before

connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the

switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or

a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury,

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better

control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

0 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection

facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4} POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The

correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source andlor the battery pack from the

power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool

accidentally,

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons

unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage

of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ABOUT THIS OR ANY DEWALTTOOL, CALL

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

t) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these

instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be

performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result

in a hazardous situation.

5) SERVICE a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Additional Safety Instructions for Rotary Hammers

• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury,

• Holdpower tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting

a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

• 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

• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering operations cause chips to fly, Flying particles can cause permanent eye damage. Wear a dust mask or respirator for

applications that generate dust. Ear protection may be required for most applications.

• Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Do not attempt to operate this tool without holding it with both hands. Operating this tool with one hand will result in loss of control. Breaking through or encountering hard materials such as re-bar may be hazardous as well.

Tighten the side handle securely before use.

• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration caused by hammer action may be harmful to your hands and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion and limit exposure by taking frequent rest periods.

• Do not recondition bits yourself. Chisel reconditioning should be done by an authorized specialist. Improperly reconditioned chisels could cause injury,

• Wear gloves when operating tool or changing bits. Accessible metal parts on the tool and bits may get extremely hot during operation. Small bits of broken material may damage bare hands.

• Never lay the tool down until the bit has come to a complete stop. Moving bits could cause injury,

• Do not strike jammed bits with a hammer to dislodge them. Fragments of metal or material chips could dislodge and cause injury,

• Keep the power cord away from the rotating bit. Do not wrap the cord around any part of your body. An electric cord wrapped around a spinning bit may cause personal injury and

loss of control

• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is

16gauge has more capacity than 18gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere

rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Avertissements de sdcuritd gdndraux pour les outils

dlectriques

Le non-respect des avertissements et des directives pourrait se solder par un choc

_ AVERTISSEMENT ! Lire tousles avertissements de s_curit_ et toutes les directives.

dectrique, un incendie et/ou une blessure grave.

CONSERVER TOUS LES AVERTISSEMENTS ET TOUTES LES

DIRECTIVES POUR UN USAGE ULTERIEUR

Le terme _ outil dectrique _ cite dans les avertissements se rapporte a votre outil electrique alimentation sur secteur (avec ill) ou par piles (sans ill).

1) S#CURIT# DU LIEU DE TRAVAIL

a) Tenir I'aire de travail propre et bien _clair_e. Les Iieux encombres ou sombres sont

propices aux accidents.

b) Ne pas faire fonctionner d'outils _lectriques dans un milieu d_flagrant, tel qu'en

presence de liquides, de gaz ou de poussi_res inflammables. Les outils electriques produisent des etincelles qui pourraient enflammer la poussiere ou les vapeurs.

c) Eloigner les enfants et les personnes a proximit_ pendant rutilisation d'un outil

_lectrique. Une distraction pourrait en faire perdre la ma_trisea I'utilisateur.

2) SI_CURITI_ EN MATIERE D'I_LECTRICITI_

a) Les fiches des outils _lectriques doivent correspondre a la prise. Ne jamais modifier

la fiche d'aucune faqon. Ne jamais utiliser de fiche d'adaptation avec un outil

_lectrique mis a la terre. Le risque de choc dectrique sera reduit par I'utilisation de fiches non modifiees correspondant a laprise.

b) Eviter tout contact physique avec des surfaces mises a la terre comme des tuyaux,

des radiateurs, des cuisini_res et des r_frig_rateurs. Le risque de choc dectrique est

plus deve si votre corps est mis a la terre.

c) Ne pas exposer les outils _lectriques a la pluie ou a I'humidit_. La penetration de I'eau

dans un outil dectrique augmente le risque de choc dectrique.

d) Ne pas utiliser le cordon de fa_on abusive. Ne jamais utiliser le cordon pour

transporter, tirer ou d_brancher un outil _lectrique. Tenir le cordon _loign_ de la chaleur, de I'huile, des bords tranchants et des pi_ces mobiles. Les cordons

endommages ou enchev_tres augmentent les risques de choc dectrique.

e) Pour I'utilisation d'un outil _lectrique a I'ext_rieur, se servir d'une rallonge

convenant a cette application. L'uti/isation d'une ra//onge conque pour/'exterieur reduira les risques de choc dectrique.

S'il est impossible d'_viter I'utilisation d'un outil _lectrique dans un endroit humide, brancher I'outil dans une prise ou sur un circuit d'alimentation dot_s d'un disjoncteur de fuite a la terre (GFCI). L'utilisation de ce type de disjoncteur reduit les

risques de choc dectrique.

3) SI_CURITI_ PERSONNELLE

a) Etre vigilant, surveiller le travail effectu_ et faire preuve de jugement Iorsqu'un outil

_lectrique est utilis_. Ne pas utiliser d'outil _lectrique en cas de fatigue ou sous I'influence de drogues, d'alcool ou de m_dicaments. Un simple moment d'inattention

en utilisant un outil dectrique peut entra_nerdes blessures corporelles graves.

b) Utiliser des _quipements de protection individuelle. Toujours porter une protection

oculaire. L'utilisation d'equipements de protection comme un masque antipoussiere, des chaussures antiderapantes, un casque de securite ou des protecteurs auditifs Iorsque la

situation le requiert reduira les risques de blessures corporelles.

c) Emp_cher les d_marrages intempestifs. S'assurer que I'interrupteur se trouve a la

position d'arr_t avant de relier I'outil a une source d'alimentation et/ou d'ins_rer un

bloc-piles, de ramasser ou de transporter I'outil. Transporter un outi/ e/ectrique a/ors que le doigt repose sur I'interrupteur ou brancher un outil dectrique dont I'interrupteur est la position de marche risque de provoquer un accident.

d) Retirer toute cl_ de r_glage ou cl_ avant de d_marrer I'outil. Une cle ou une cle de

reglage attachee a une pattie pivotante de I'outil dectrique peut provoquer des blessures corporelles.

e) Ne pas trop tendre les bras. Conserver son _quilibre en tout temps. Cela permet de

mieux ma_triserI'outil dectrique dans les situations imprevues. S'habiller de mani_re appropri_e. Ne pas porter de v_tements amples ni de bijoux. Garder les cheveux, les v_tements et les gants a I'_cart des pi_ces mobiles. Les v_tements amples, les bijoux ou les cheveux longs risquent de rester coinces dans les pieces

mobiles.

g) Sides composants sent fournis pour le raccordement de dispositifs de d_poussi_rage

et de ramassage, s'assurer que ceux-ci sent bien raccord_s et utilis_s. L'uti/isation d'un dispositif de depoussierage peut reduire les dangers engendres par les poussieres.

4} UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN D'UN OUTIL #LECTRIQUE

a) Ne pas forcer un outil _lectrique. Utiliser I'outil _lectrique appropri_ a I'application.

L'outil dectrique approprie effectuera un mei/leur travail, de faqon plus sore eta la vitesse

pour laquelle il a ete conqu.

b) Ne pas utiliser un outil _lectrique dont I'interrupteur est d_fectueux. Tout outil

dectrique dont /'interrupteur est defectueux est dangereux et doit _tre repare.

c) D_brancher la fiche de la source d'alimentation et/ou du bloc-piles de I'outil

_lectrique avant de faire tout r_glage ou changement d'accessoire ou avant de ranger I'outil. Ces mesures preventives reduisent les risques de demarrage accidentel de I'outil dectrique.

d) Ranger les outils _lectriques hers de la pottle des enfants et ne permettre

aucune personne n'_tant pas famili_re avec un outil _lectrique ou son mode d'emploi d'utiliser cet outil. Les outi/s dectriques deviennent dangereux entre/es mains d'utilisateurs inexperimentes.

e) Entretien des outils _lectriques. V_rifier si les pi_ces mobiles sent mal align_es ou

coinc_es, si des pi_ces sent bris_es ou pr_sentent toute autre condition susceptible de nuire au ben fonctionnement de I'outil _lectrique. En cas de dommage, faire r_parer I'outil _lectrique avant toute nouvelle utilisation. Beaucoup d'accidents sont causes par des outils dectriques mal entretenus. S'assurer que les outils de coupe sent aiguis_s et propres. Les outils de coupe bien

entretenus et affOtes sont moins susceptibles de se coincer et sont plus faciles a ma_triser.

g) Utiliser I'outil _lectrique, les accessoires, les forets, etc. conform_ment aux

pr_sentes directives en tenant compte des conditions de travail et du travail

effectuer. L'utilisation d'un outil dectrique pour toute operation autre que celle pour laquelle ila ete conquest dangereuse.

5) RI_PARATION

a) Faire r_parer I'outil _lectrique par un r_parateur professionnel en n'utilisant que

des pi_ces de rechange identiques. Celapermettra de maintenir une utilisation securitaire

de I'outil dectrique.

Consignes de s_curit_ additionnelles propres aux marteaux

rotatifs

• Porter un dispositif de protection auditif. Le bruit en resultant pourrait occasionner une

perte de I'acuite auditive.

• Utiliser la/les poign_e(s) auxiliaire(s) si fournie(s) avec I'outil. Une perte de contr_le de I'outil pourrait occasionner des dommages corporels.

• Tenir I'outil par les surfaces isol_es pr_vues a cet effet pendant toute utilisation o_

I'organe de coupe pourrait entrer en contact avec des ills _lectriques caches ou son

propre cordon. Tout contact de I'organe de coupe avec un fil sous tension mettra les parties

metalliques exposees de I'outil sous tension et dectrocutera I'utilisateur.

• Utiliser des serre-joints, ou tout autre moyen, pour fixer et immobiliser le mat_riau sur une surface stable. Tenir lapiece a la main ou contre son corps offre une stabilite insuffisante qui pourrait vous en faire perdre le contr_le.

• Porter des lunettes de protection ou toute autre protection oculaire. Le martelage

pourrait faire voltiger des eclats. Ces particules volantes pourraient occasionner des dommages

oculaires permanents. Porter un masque anti-poussieres ou un appareil de protection des voles respiratoires pour toute application productrice de poussieres. Une protection auditive peut

s'averer necessaire pour la plupart des applications.

• Maintenir syst_matiquement I'outil fermement. Ne pas tenter d'utiliser cet outil sans le maintenir a deux mains. Le fait d'utiliser cet outil a une main pourra vous en faire perdre le contrde. Traverser ou rencontrer des materiaux durs comme les armatures peut aussi s'averer

dangereux. Resserrer soigneusement la poignee laterale avant toute utilisation.

• Ne pas utiliser cet outil pendant des p_riodes de temps prolong_es. Les vibrations causees par la percussion peuvent poser des risques pour les mains ou les bras. Porter des

gants pour amortir les vibrations, et pour limiter les risques, faire des pauses frequentes.

• Ne pas remettre a neuf les forets soi-m_me. La remise a neuf de tout burin dolt _tre effectuee par un specialiste agree. Tout burin remis a neuf incorrectement pose des risques de dommages corporels.

• Porter des gants Iors de I'utilisation de I'outil ou le changement de m_che. Les parties metalliques accessibles de I'outil et des meches/forets pourraient s'averer brOlantes lots de I'utilisation. De petits debris de materiau pourraient aussi blesser les mains nues.

• Attendre syst_matiquement I'arr_t complet de la m_che/foret avant de d_poser I'outil o_ que ce soit. Des forets/meches en rotation posent des risques de dommages corporels.

• Ne pas donner des coups de marteau sur des forets/m_ches coinc_s pour les d_loger. Des fragments de metal ou de materiau pourraient _tre ejectes et causer des dommages corporels.

• Maintenir le cordon d'alimentation a I'_cart d'une m_che en rotation. Ne pas enrouler le cordon autour d'une partie quelconque de votre corps. Un cordon electr/que enroule autour d'une meche en rotation pose des risques de dommages corporels et de perdre le

contrde de I'outil.

• Prendre des precautions a proximit_ des _vents, car ils cachent des pi_ces mobiles. V_tements amples, bijoux ou cheveux longs risquent de rester coinces dans ces pieces mobiles.

• Pour la s_curit_ de I'utilisateur, utiliser une rallonge de calibre ad_quat (AWG,

American Wire Gauge [calibrage am_ricain normalis_ des ills _lectriques]). Plus le

calibre est petit, et plus sa capacite est grande. Un calibre 16, par exemple, a une capacite superieure a un calibre 18. L'usage d'une rallonge de calibre insuffisant causera une chute de

tension qui entra_neraperte de puissance et surchauffe. Si plus d'une rallonge est utilisee pour obtenir une certaine Iongueur, s'assurer que chaque rallonge presente au moins le calibre de

fil minimum. Le tableau ci-dessous illustre les calibres a utiliser selon la Iongueur de rallonge et I'intensite nominale indiquee sur la plaque signaletique. En cas de doute, utiliser le calibre

suivant. Plus le calibre est petit, plus la rallonge peut supporter de courant.
