General Safety Rules - For All Battery Operated Tools

_ WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may

result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the
warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 plugs 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. Replace or repair damaged cords.

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use only 3-wire extension cords that

have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.

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. When using

an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will

draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and

overheating. 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.

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 toolsmay

result in serious personal injury.

b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust

mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate condi-

tions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging

in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in 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.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and

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

moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be avoided.

g) ff devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,

ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices 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 # was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool ff the switch does not turn # 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 and/or 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 unfamil-

iar 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 tools operation. If dam-

aged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained power tools.

f) 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 instruc-

tions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, 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) 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.

d) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper

clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a

connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause bums or a fire.

e) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery, avoid contact. If

contact accidentally occurs, flush with water, ff liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or bums.

6) 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.

and product using battery pack.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger.
_ CAUTION: Bum hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only DEWAL T batteries. Other
types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
_ CAUTION: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to the power supply, the
charger can be shorted by foreign material Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as,
but not limited to, steel wool aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept
away from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no
battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.

• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones in

this manuaL The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work together.

• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging DEWAL T recharge-

able batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.

• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.

• 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 other-

wise 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 (,4 WG or American Wire Gauge) for

safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that
is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18gauge. When using more than one extension to make
up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire
size.

• Do not place any object on top of charger or place the charger on a soft surface that

might block the ventilation slots and result in excessive internal heal Place the charger

in a position away from any heat source. The charger is ventilated through slots in the top
and the bottom of the housing.

• Do not mount charger on wall or permanently affix charger to any surface. The

charger is intended to use on a flat, stable surface (i.e., table top, bench top).

• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug -- have them replaced immediately.

• Do not operate charger ff it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise

damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized service center.

• Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorized service center when service or

repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution
or fire.

• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before attempting any cleaning. This will

reduce the risk of electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.

• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.

• The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (120

Volts). Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage.

battery packs should be returned to service center for recycling.
A WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can contact
exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes,
product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. Transporting batteries
can possibly cause fires ff the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with
conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department of
Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in
commerce or on airplanes (i.e., packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are
properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual batteries, make sure that
the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them
and cause a short circuit.

The RBRC TM Seal

The RBRC TM (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the
lithium ion battery (or battery pack) indicates that the costs to recycle the
battery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have already been paid by
DEWALT.

RBRC TM in cooperation with DEWALT and other battery users, has established
programs in the United States to facilitate the collection of spent lithium ion
batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the spent
lithium ion battery to an authorized DEWALT service center or to your local retailer for recycling.
You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent
battery.
RBRCTM is a registeredtrademark ofthe RechargeableBattery RecyclingCorporation.

Storage Recommendations

1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from direct sunlight and excess heat
or cold.

2. Long storage will not harm the battery pack or charger. Under proper conditions, they can
be stored for 5 years or more.

Your battery pack requires a 1 hour DEWALT charger. Be sure to read all safety instructions
before using your charger. Consult the chart on the back of this manual for compatibility of
chargers and battery packs.

Charging Procedure

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting the battery pack.

2. Insert the battery pack into the charger. The charger is equipped with a three-light fuel gauge
that will blink according to the state of charge of the battery pack.

3. The completion of charge is indicated by the three red lights remaining ON continuously. The
pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left on the charger.

_:e e FI 0% - 33% 1st light blinks

e:_® 13 33% - 66% 1st light on, 2nd light blinks

• e_ 66% - 99% 1st, 2 nd lights on, 3 rd light blinks

• • • II 100% 1st 2nd, 3rd lights on

Charger Diagnostics

This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise with the battery packs or the
charger. Problems are indicated by the three red lights flashing together in different patterns.
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. The battery will no longer charge and should be returned to a service center or
a collection site for recycling.
BAD CHARGER

The charger will detect if it is not functioning properly. The three red lights will flash together
with one fast blink followed by a long blink. The charger will no longer work and should be
returned to an authorized service center or replaced.

LEAVING THE BATTERY IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the red lights glowing indefinitely. The
charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged. This charger features an automatic
tune-up mode which equals or balances the individual cells in the battery pack to allow it to
function at peak capacity. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly or whenever the battery no
longer delivers the same amount of work. To use the automatic tune-up mode, place the battery
pack in the charger and leave it for at least 8 hours.

Important Charging Notes

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the
air temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18 °-24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in
an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important and
will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.

2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging. This is a normal
condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after
use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal
shed, or an uninsulated trailer.

3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you

turn out the lights.

c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is

approximately 65°F - 75°F (18 °- 24°C).

d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local ser-

vice center.

4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which
were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the
charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no
adverse affect on the battery pack.

5. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum
foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always
unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug
charger before attempting to clean.

6. Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger.

of this temperature range will decrease the life of the tool.

SHOCKS TM - Active Vibration Control

For best vibration control, hold the tool with one hand on the main handle (E) and the other
hand on the side handle (A). Apply just enough pressure so the hammer is approximately mid-
stroke. The hammer only needs enough pressure to engage the internal active vibration control.
Applying too much pressure will not make the tool drill faster and active vibration control will not
engage.

SDS Chuck (Fig. 4)

A WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect
tool from battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments
or accessories.

CAUTION: Do not use chipping bits in this tool. Using chipping bits may cause the tool to bind-
up and damage to the tool may occur.

To insert bit, insert shank of bit about 3/4" into chuck (J). Push and rotate bit until it locks in
place. The bit will be securely held.
To release bit, pull the sleeve (K) back and remove the bit.

Drilling

A WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect
tool from battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments
or accessories.

1. Use sharp drill bits only. For MASONRY, such as brick, cement, cinder block, etc., use car-
bide-tipped bits rated for percussion drilling. Be sure the material to be drilled is anchored
or clamped firmly. If drilling thin material, use a wood "back-up" block to prevent damage to
the material.

2. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep drill biting,
but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit.

3. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting action of the drill.

4. IF DRILL STALLS, itis usually because it is being overloaded or improperly used. RELEASE
TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY, remove drill bit from work, and determine cause of stalling. DO
NOT CLICK TRIGGER ON AND OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED DRILL

-- THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.

5. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled hole. This will help prevent
jamming.

6. Use a slow speed to start the hole and accelerate by squeezing the trigger harder when the
hole is deep enough to drill without the bit skipping out.

DRILLING IN MASONRY
When drilling in masonry, use carbide tipped bits rated for masonry drilling. Be certain that the
bit is sharp. Ensure that the hammer mode is selected. Use a constant and firm force on the tool
to drill most effectively. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.

MAINTENANCE

J_WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect
tool from battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments
or accessories.

Cleaning

i& WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts
of the tooL These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a cloth
dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse
any part of the tool into a liquid.

CHARGER CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
A WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt

and grease may be removed from the exterior of the charger using a cloth or soft non-metallic

Rdgles gdndrales de sdcuritd concernant les outils

piles

_ A VERTISSEMENT ! Lire toutes les directives. Tout manquement aux directives

suivantes pose des risques de choc #lectrique, d'incendie et/ou de blessure

grave. Le terme , outil #lectrique _ dans tous les avertissements ci-apr_s se rapporte

votre outil #lectrique _ alimentation sur secteur (avec ill) ou par piles (sans ill).

CONSERVER CES DIRECTIVES

1) SI_CURITI_ - AIRE DE TRAVAIL

a) Maintenir I'aire de travail propre et bien eclairee. Les /ieux encombres ou sombres sont

propices aux accidents.

b) Ne pas faire fonctionner un outil electrique clans une atmosphere explosive, en

presence par exemple de poussieres, gaz ou liquides inflammables. Les outils elec-
triques peuvent engendrer des etincelles qui pourraient enflammer toute emanation ou
poussiere ambiante.

c) Tenir les enfants, ou toute autre personne, eloignes pendant I'utilisation d'un outil

electrique. Toute distraction pourrait vous faire perdre la mMtrise de ce demier.

2) SI_CURITI_ - I_LECTRICITI_

a) La fiche electrique de I'outil dolt correspondre a la prise murale. Ne jamais

modifier la fiche en aucune fa_on. Ne jamais utiliser de fiche d'adaptation avec un
outil electrique mis a la terre. L'utilisation de fiches d'origine et de prises appropriees
reduira les risques de choc electrique.

b) Eviter tout contact corporel avec des elements mis a la terre comme tuyaux,

radiateurs, cuisinieres ou refrigerateurs. Les risques de choc electrique augmentent
Iorsque le corps est mis a la terre.

c) Ne pas exposer les outils electriques a la pluie ou a I'humidite. Toute penetration d'un

outil electrique par un liquide augmente les risques de choc electrique.

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

porter, tirer ou debrancher un outil electrique. Proteger le cordon de la chaleur,
de I'huile et de tout bord tranchant ou piece mobile. Les cordons endommages ou
emmGles augmentent les risques de choc electrique. Remplacer ou faire reparer tout cor-
don endommage. S'assurer que la rallonge est en bon etat. N'utiliser que des rallonges
trifilaires munies de fiches tripolaires et des prises tripolaires acceptant la fiche de Ibutil.

e) Lors de I'utilisation d'un outil electrique a I'exterieur, n'utiliser que des rallonges

con_ues pour I'exterieur. L'utilisation d'une rallonge con_ue pour I'exterieur reduit les

risques de choc electrique. En cas d'utilisation d'une rallonge, s'assurer que les valeurs
nominales de la rallonge utilisee correspondent bien a celles de I'outil alimente. L'usage
d'une rallonge de calibre insuffisant causera une chute de tension entrafnant perte de
puissance et surchauffe. Le tableau ci-dessous illustre les calibres a utiliser selon la Ion-
gueur de rallonge et I'intensite nominale indiquee sur la plaque signaletique. En cas de
doutes, utiliser le calibre suivant. Plus le calibre est petit, plus la rallonge peut supporter
de courant.

3) SI_CURITI_ PERSONNELLE

a) Rester vigilant en tout temps et faire preuve de jugement pendant I'utilisation

d'un outil electrique. Ne pas utiliser d'outil electrique en cas de fatigue ou sous
I'influence de drogues, d'alcool ou de medicaments. Tout moment d'inattention

pendant I'utilisation d'un outil electrique pose des risques de blessure grave.

b) Utiliser le materiel de securite approprie. Toujours porter des lunettes de protection.

Le fait de porter un masque anti-poussieres, des chaussures antiderapantes, un casque
de securite ou des protecteurs auditifs Iorsque la situation le requiert reduira les risques de
blessure.

c) Eviter tout demarrage accidenteL S'assurer que I'interrupteur est en position

d'arrGt avant tout branchement. Transporter un outil le doigt sur I'interrupteur ou

brancher un outil electrique alors que I'interrupteur est en position de marche invite les
accidents.

d) Retirer toute cle de reglage avant de demarrer I'outil. Une cle laissee sur une piece

rotative d'un outil electrique pose des risques de blessure.

e) Ne pas effectuer de travaux hors de portee. Les pieds doivent rester bien ancres au

sol afin de maintenir son equilibre en tout temps. Cela permet de mieux maftriser I'outil
electrique dans les situations imprevues.

f) Porter des vGtements appropries. Ne pas porter de vGtements amples ni de bijoux.

Maintenir cheveux, vGtements et gants eloignes des pieces mobiles. VGtements

amples, bijoux ou cheveux longs risquent de rester coinces dans ces pieces mobiles.
Prendre des precautions autour des events car ils recouvrent des pieces mobiles.

g) Lorsque un dispositif de connexion a un systeme de depoussierage ou d'elimination

est fourni, s'assurer qu'il est connecte et utilise correctemenL L'uti/isation de ces

dispositifs peut reduire les risques engendres par les poussieres.

4) UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DES OUTILS #LECTRIQUES

a) Ne pas forcer un outil electrique. Utiliser I'outil approprie au travail en cours. L'outil

approprie effectuera un meilleur travail, de fa_on plus s_re eta la vitesse pour laquelle il a
ete con_u.

b) Ne pas utiliser un outil electrique dont I'interrupteur est defectueux. Tout apparefl

dont I'interrupteur est defectueux est dangereux et doit 6tre repare.

c) Debrancher la fiche du secteur et/ou le bloc-piles de I'outil electrique avant de

faire tout reglage ou changement d'accessoire, ou avant de ranger ce dernier. Ces
mesures preventives reduisent les risques de demarrage accidentel de I'appareil.

d) Apres usage, ranger les outils electriques hors de la portee des enfants, et ne

permettre a aucune personne n'etant pas familiere avec un outil electrique (ou son

manuel d'instruction) d'utiliser ce dernier. Les outils peuvent 6tre dangereux entre/es
mains des novices.

e) Entretenir les outils electriques. Verifier les pieces mobiles pour s'assurer qu'elles

sont bien alignees et tournent librement, qu'eiles sont en bon etat et ne sont affec-
tees d'aucune condition susceptible de nuire au bon fonctionnement de I'outil. En
cas de dommage, faire reparer I'outil electrique avant toute nouvelle utilisation. Bien

des accidents sont causes par des outils mal entretenus.

f) Maintenir tout outil de coupe bien aiguise et propre. Les outils de coupe bien entrete-

nus et affDtes sont moins susceptibles de se coincer et sont plus faciles a contr&ler.

g) Utiliser un outil electrique, ses accessoires, meches, etc., conformement aux

presentes directives et suivant la maniere prevue pour ce type particulier d'outil
electrique, en tenant compte des conditions de travail et du travail a effectuer.
L'utilisation d'un outil electrique pour toute operation autre que celle pour laquelle il a ete
congu est dangereuse.

5) UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DE L'OUTIL ALIMENT# PAR PILE

a) S'assurer que I'interrupteur se trouve a la position d'arrGt avant d'inserer le bloc-

piles. Inserer un bloc-piles dans un outil electrique dont I'interrupteur est a la position de
marche risque de provoquer un accident.

b) Ne recharger I'outil qu'au moyen du chargeur precise par le fabricant. L'utilisation

d'un chargeur qui convient a un type de bloc-piles risque de provoquer un incendie s'il est
utilise avec un autre type de bloc-piles.

c) Utiliser les outils electriques uniquement avec les blocs-piles con_us a cet effet.

L'utilisation de tout autre bloc-piles risque de causer des blessures ou un incendie.

d) Lorsque le bloc-piles n'est pas utilise, le tenir eloigne des objets metalliques,

notamment des trombones, de la monnaie, des cles, des clous, des vis, etc., qui

peuvent etablir une connexion entre les deux bornes. Mettre en court-circuit/es bomes
du bloc-piles peut provoquer des brOlures ou un incendie.

e) En cas d'utilisation abusive, un liquide peut gicler hors du bloc-pile& eviter tout

contact. Si un contact accidentel se produit, laver a grande eau. Sile liquide entre
en contact avec les yeux, obtenir des soins medicaux. Le liquide qui gicle hors du
bloc-piles peut provoquer des irritations ou des br_lures.

6) SERVICE

a) Faire entretenir les outils electriques par un reparateur qualifie en n'utilisant que

des pieces de rechange identiques. Ce/a permettra d'assurer /'integrite de/'outi/e/ec-

trique et la securite de I'utilisateur.

Directives de s_curit_ suppl_mentaires pour les
perceuses a percussion

• Tenir I'outil par sa surface de prise isolee clans une situation ob I'outil de coupe peut
entrer en contact avec un c#blage cache ou avec son propre cordon d'alimentation.

Tout contact avec un fil _,sous tension _ mettra _,sous tension _ les pieces metalliques de
Ibutil et causera un choc electrique a I'operateur de Ibutil. S'assurer que le materiau perce
ne cache pas de conduite electrique ou de gaz et que leur emplacement a ete verifie avec
les entreprises de services publiques.

• Porter des protecteurs d'oreilles. Une exposition au bruit peut entrMner une perte audi-
tive.

• Utiliser les poignees auxiliaires fournies avec I'outil. Une perte de mMtrise de Ibutil peut
entrafner des blessures corporelles. Tenir fermement Ibutil en tout temps. Ne pas utiliser
Ibutil sans le tenir des deux mains. Faire fonctionner cet outil d'une seule main risque de

provoquer la perte de mMtrise de Ibutil. II peut aussi 6tre dangereux de percer ou de tomber

sur des materiaux durs comme une barre d'armature. Bien serrer la poignee laterale avant
d'utiliser Ibutil.

• Utiliser des brides de fixation ou tout autre dispositif de fixation permettant de soute-
nir et de retenir la piece sur une plate-forme stable. Tenir /a piece avec /a main ou contre
son corps est instable et risque de provoquer une perte de ma_trise de I'outil.

• Porter des lunettes de securite ou une autre protection oculaire. Les operations de

percussion peuvent projeter les copeaux. Les particules projetees peuvent endommager

les yeux irreversiblement. Porter un masque antipoussieres ou un appareil respiratoire.
La plupart des applications peuvent demander I'utilisation d'un dispositif de protection des
oreilles.

• Tenir fermement I'outil en tout temps. Ne pas utiliser I'outil sans le tenir des deux
mains. II est recommande d'utiliser en tout temps la poignee laterale. Faire fonctionner cet
outil d'une seule main risque de provoquer la perte de maftrise de I'outil. fl peut aussi 6tre
dangereux de percer ou de tomber sur des materiaux durs comme une barre d'armature.

• Ne pas faire fonctionner cet outil durant de Iongues periodes. Les vibrations causees

par la percussion du marteau peuvent 6tre nuisibles pour vos mains et vos bras. Utiliser des
gants pour amortir davantage les vibrations et limiter I'exposition a I'outil par de frequentes
periodes de repos.

• Ne pas remettre a neuf les meches vous-mGme. La remise a neuf du burin doit 6tre reali-
see par un specialiste autorise. Les burins mal remis a neuf peuvent causer des blessures.

• Porter des gants pour utiliser I'outil ou pour changer les meches. Les pieces metal-
liques accessibles de I'outil et les meches peuvent devenir extrGmement chaudes durant le
fonctionnement de I'outil. De petits morceaux de materiau qui se detachent peuvent endom-
mager les mains nues.

• Ne jamais deposer I'outil tant que la meche ne s'est pas completement arrGtee. Les
meches mobiles peuvent provoquer des blessures.

• Ne pas frapper sur les meches coincees avec un marteau pour les deloger. Des frag-
ments de metal ou des copeaux de materiau peuvent se deloger et causer des blessures.

• Les burins legerement uses peuvent 6tre reaffOtes par le meulage.

• Tenir eloigne le cordon d'alimentation de la meche rotative. Ne pas enrouler le cordon

autour de toute partie du corps. Un cordon d'alimentation enroule autour d'une meche

rotative risque de causer des blessures corporelles et une perte de maftrise de I'outil.

REMARQUE : ne pas surchauffer la meche (decoloration) durant le meulage d'un nouveau
tranchant. Les burins mal uses demandent a 6tre de nouveau forges. Ne pas durcir nine faire
revenir les burins.

i_A VERTISSEMENT : TOUJOURS porter des lunettes de securite. Les lunettes de vue ne
constituent PAS des lunettes de securite. Utiliser egalement un masque facial ou anti-poussiere
