General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

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 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.

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.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current

device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD 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 energising 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.

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 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

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.

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

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) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

a) 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.

b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other

battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

c) 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 burns or a fire.

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

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

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.

Drill/Driver/Hammerdrill Safety Warnings

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

• Hold power tools 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.

• 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 ear protectors when hammering for extended periods of time. Prolonged exposure
to high intensity noise can cause hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss or serious ear drum
damage may result from high sound levels generated by hammerdrilling.

• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering and drilling operations cause
chips to fly. Flying particles can cause permanent eye damage.

• Hammer bits and tools get hot during operation. Wear gloves when touching them.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses.

Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY
EQUIPMENT:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with
soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote

absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause serious and

permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.

WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to ANSI

S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product

may contribute to hearing loss..

CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable surface where it will not

cause a tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright on

the battery pack but may be easily knocked over.

DANGER: Electrocution hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason.

If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or
damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (i.e., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer,
stepped on). Electric shock or electrocution may result. Damaged battery packs should be
returned to service center for recycling.

NOTE: Battery storage and carrying caps are provided for use whenever
the battery is out of the tool or charger. Remove cap before placing battery in
charger or tool.

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. without battery cap. Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if 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.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR NICKEL CADMIUM (NiCd) OR
NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE (NiMH)

• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn
out. The battery pack can explode in a fire.

• A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may occur under extreme usage
or temperature conditions. This does not indicate a failure.

However, if the outer seal is broken:

a. and the battery liquid gets on your skin, immediately wash with soap and water for several

minutes.

b. and the battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for a minimum of

10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention. (Medical note: The liquid is 25-35%
solution of potassium hydroxide.)

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM ION (LI-ION)

• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely
worn out. The battery pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created

when lithium ion battery packs are burned.

• If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with
mild soap and water. If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for
15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is
composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts.

• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If
symptoms persists, seek medical attention.

WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark or flame.

Important Safety Instructions for all Battery Chargers

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important safety and operating instruc­tions for battery chargers.

• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on charger, battery pack,
and product using battery pack.

DANGER: Electrocution hazard. 120 volts are present at charging terminals. Do not probe with

conductive objects. Electric shock or electrocution may result.

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

result.

CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only DEWALT rechargeable

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

exposed charging contacts inside 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 D
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

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.

• 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.

• 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 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. 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

EWALT rechargeable

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.

Using Automatic Tune-Up™ Mode

The automatic Tune-Up™ Mode equalizes or balances the individual cells in the battery pack
allowing it to function at peak capacity. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly or after 10
charge/discharge cycles or whenever the pack no longer delivers the same amount of work. To
use the automatic Tune-Up™, place the battery pack in the charger and leave it for at least 8
hours. The charger will cycle through the following modes.

1. The red light will blink continuously indicating that the 1-hour charge cycle has started.

2. When the 1-hour charge cycle is complete, the light will stay on continuously and will no

longer blink. This indicates that the pack is fully charged and can be used at this time.

3. If the pack is left in the charger after the initial 1-hour charge, the charger will begin the

Automatic Tune-Up mode. This mode continues up to 8 hours or until the individual cells in
the battery pack are equalized. The battery pack is ready for use and can be removed at any
time during the Tune-Up mode.

4. Once the Automatic Tune Up mode is complete, the charger will begin a maintenance

charge; the red indicator will remain lit.

Chargers

Your tool uses a DEWALT 7.2, 9.6, 12, 14.4, 18 Volt charger. Be sure to read all safety instructions
before using your charger. Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of
chargers and battery packs.

Charging Procedure

DANGER: Electrocution hazard. 120 volts present at charging terminals. Do not probe with

conductive objects. Danger of electric shock or electrocution.

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

2. Insert the battery pack into the charger. The red (charging) light will blink continuously

indicating that the charging process has started.

3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light remaining ON continuously. The

pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger.

Indicator Light Operation

Charge Indicators

Some chargers are designed to detect certain problems that can arise with battery packs.
Problems are indicated by the red light flashing at a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert battery pack
into the charger. If the problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the charger is
OK. If the new pack charges correctly, then the original pack is defective and should be returned
to a service center or other collection site for recycling. If the new battery pack elicits the same
trouble indication as the original, have the charger tested at an authorized service center.

HOT/COLD PACK DELAY

Some chargers have a Hot/Cold Pack Delay feature: when the charger detects a battery that is
hot, it automatically starts a Hot Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery has cooled.
After the battery has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the Pack Charging mode.
This feature ensures maximum battery life. The red light flashes long, then short while in the Hot
Pack Delay mode.

PROBLEM POWER LINE

Some chargers have a Problem Power Line indicator. 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, flashing the red light with two fast blinks followed by a pause.
This indicates the power source is out of limits.

LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER

The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the red light glowing indefinitely. The
charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged.

NOTE: A battery pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out of the charger. If the battery pack
has not been kept on maintenance charge, it may need to be recharged before use. A battery
pack may also slowly lose its charge if left in a charger that is not plugged into an appropriate
AC source.

WEAK BATTERY PACKS: Chargers can also detect a weak battery pack. Such batteries are
still usable but should not be expected to perform as much work. The charger will indicate to
replace battery pack.

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 service

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. Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply, the exposed

charging contacts inside 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.

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

WARNING: Shock hazard. Don’t allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock may

result.

CAUTION: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the

battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service center for recycling.

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.

from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments
or accessories.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS ensure workpiece is anchored

or clamped firmly. If drilling thin material, use a wood “back-up” block to prevent damage to the
material.

1. Use sharp drill bits only. For WOOD, use the low speed setting and twist drill bits, spade bits,

power auger bits, or hole saws. For METAL, use the low speed setting and steel twist drill bits
or hole saws. For MASONRY, such as brick, cement, cinder block, etc., use carbide-tipped
bits rated for percussion drilling. Use low speed for bits greater than 3/8" (10 mm).

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. If model is not

equipped with side handle, grip drill with one hand on the handle and one hand on the battery
pack.

CAUTION: Drill may stall if overloaded causing a sudden twist. Always expect the stall. Grip
the drill firmly to control the twisting action and avoid injury.

4. IF DRILL STALLS, it is 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. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the

bit through the last fractional part of the hole.

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

jamming.

7. With variable speed drills there is no need to center punch the point to be drilled. 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.

Hammerdrill Operation (Fig. 5)

1. Turn the collar (C) to the hammerdrill symbol.

2. Select the high speed setting by sliding the selector back (away from the chuck).
IMPORTANT: Use carbide-tipped or masonry bits only.

3. Drill with just enough force on the hammer to keep it from bouncing excessively or "rising" off

the bit. Too much force will cause slower drilling speeds, overheating and lower drilling rate.

4. Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to the work. Do not exert side pressure on the

bit when drillling as this will cause clogging of the bit flutes and a slower drilling speed.

5. When drilling deep holes, if the hammer speed starts to drop off, pull the bit partially out of

the hole with tool stil running to help clear debris from the hole.

NOTE: A smooth, even flow of dust from the hole indicates proper drilling rate.

Screwdriver Operation (Fig. 6)

1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the dual range gear selector to match the

speed and torque of the planned operation.

2. Turn the torque adjustment collar to the desired position. Lower numbers indicate lower

torque settings; higher numbers indicate higher torque settings.

3. Insert the desired fastener accessory into the chuck as you would any drill bit.

4. Make some practice runs in scrap or on unseen areas to determine the proper position of

the clutch collar.

5. Always start with lower torque settings, then advance to higher torque settings to avoid

dfamage to the workpiece or fastener.

Avertissements de sécurité généraux pour les outils
électriques

AVERTISSEMENT! Lire tous les avertissements de sécurité et toutes les directives.
Le non-respect des avertissements et des directives pourrait se solder par un choc
électrique, un incendie et/ou une blessure grave.

CONSERVER TOUS LES AVERTISSEMENTS ET TOUTES

LES DIRECTIVES POUR UN USAGE ULTÉRIEUR

Le terme « outil électrique » cité dans les avertissements se rapporte à votre outil électrique à
alimentation sur secteur (avec fil) ou par piles (sans fil).

1) SÉCURITÉ DU LIEU DE TRAVAIL

a) Tenir l’aire de travail propre et bien éclairée. Les lieux encombrés ou sombres sont

propices aux accidents.

b) Ne pas faire fonctionner d’outils électriques dans un milieu déflagrant, tel qu’en

présence de liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables. Les outils électriques

produisent des étincelles qui pourraient enflammer la poussière ou les vapeurs.

c) Éloigner les enfants et les personnes à proximité pendant l’utilisation d’un outil

électrique. Une distraction pourrait en faire perdre la maîtrise à l’utilisateur.

2) SÉCURITÉ EN MATIÈRE D’ÉLECTRICITÉ

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

la fiche d’aucune façon. Ne jamais utiliser de fiche d’adaptation avec un outil
électrique mis à la terre. Le risque de choc électrique sera réduit par l’utilisation de fiches

non modifiées correspondant à la prise.

b) Éviter tout contact physique avec des surfaces mises à la terre comme des tuyaux,

des radiateurs, des cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs. Le risque de choc électrique est

plus élevé si votre corps est mis à la terre.

c) Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à la pluie ou à l’humidité. La pénétration de l’eau

dans un outil électrique augmente le risque de choc électrique.

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

transporter, tirer ou débrancher un outil électrique. Tenir le cordon éloigné de
la chaleur, de l’huile, des bords tranchants et des pièces mobiles. Les cordons

endommagés ou enchevêtrés augmentent les risques de choc électrique.

e) Pour l’utilisation d’un outil électrique à l’extérieur, se servir d’une rallonge convenant

à cette application. L’utilisation d’une rallonge conçue pour l’extérieur réduira les risques

de choc électrique.

f) S’il est impossible d’éviter l’utilisation d’un outil électrique dans un endroit

humide, utiliser une source d’alimentation dotée d’un disjoncteur de fuite à la terre.

L’utilisation de ce type de disjoncteur réduit les risques de choc électrique.

3) SÉCURITÉ PERSONNELLE

a) Être vigilant, surveiller le travail effectué et faire preuve de jugement lorsqu’un outil

électrique est utilisé. Ne pas utiliser d’outil électrique en cas de fatigue ou sous
l’influence de drogues, d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un simple moment d’inattention

en utilisant un outil électrique peut entraîner des blessures corporelles graves.

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

oculaire. L’utilisation d’équipements de protection comme un masque antipoussière, des

chaussures antidérapantes, un casque de sécurité ou des protecteurs auditifs lorsque la
situation le requiert réduira les risques de blessures corporelles.

c) Empêcher les démarrages intempestifs. S’assurer que l’interrupteur se trouve à la

position d’arrêt avant de relier l’outil à une source d’alimentation et/ou d’insérer un
bloc-piles, de ramasser ou de transporter l’outil. Transporter un outil électrique alors

que le doigt repose sur l’interrupteur ou brancher un outil électrique dont l’interrupteur est
à la position de marche risque de provoquer un accident.

d) Retirer toute clé de réglage ou clé avant de démarrer l’outil. Une clé ou une clé de

réglage attachée à une partie pivotante de l’outil électrique peut provoquer des blessures
corporelles.

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

mieux maîtriser l’outil électrique dans les situations imprévues.

f) S’habiller de manière appropriée. Ne pas porter de vêtements amples ni de bijoux.

Garder les cheveux, les vêtements et les gants à l’écart des pièces mobiles. Les

vêtements amples, les bijoux ou les cheveux longs risquent de rester coincés dans les
pièces mobiles.

g) Si des composants sont fournis pour le raccordement de dispositifs de dépoussiérage

et de ramassage, s’assurer que ceux-ci sont bien raccordés et utilisés. L’utilisation

d’un dispositif de dépoussiérage peut réduire les dangers engendrés par les poussières.

4) UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN D’UN OUTIL ÉLECTRIQUE

a) Ne pas forcer un outil électrique. Utiliser l’outil électrique approprié à l’application.

L’outil électrique approprié effectuera un meilleur travail, de façon plus sûre et à la vitesse
pour laquelle il a été conçu.

b) Ne pas utiliser un outil électrique dont l’interrupteur est défectueux. Tout outil

électrique dont l’interrupteur est défectueux est dangereux et doit être réparé.

c) Débrancher la fiche de la source d’alimentation et/ou du bloc-piles de l’outil

électrique avant de faire tout réglage ou changement d’accessoire ou avant de
ranger l’outil. Ces mesures préventives réduisent les risques de démarrage accidentel

de l’outil électrique.

d) Ranger les outils électriques hors de la portée des enfants et ne permettre à

aucune personne n’étant pas familière avec un outil électrique ou son mode
d’emploi d’utiliser cet outil. Les outils électriques deviennent dangereux entre les mains

d’utilisateurs inexpérimentés.

e) Entretien des outils électriques. Vérifier si les pièces mobiles sont mal alignées ou

coincées, si des pièces sont brisées ou présentent toute autre condition susceptible
de nuire au bon fonctionnement de l’outil électrique. En cas de dommage, faire
réparer l’outil électrique avant toute nouvelle utilisation. Beaucoup d’accidents sont

causés par des outils électriques mal entretenus.

f) S’assurer que les outils de coupe sont aiguisés et propres. Les outils de coupe

bien entretenus et affûtés sont moins susceptibles de se coincer et sont plus faciles à
maîtriser.

g) Utiliser l’outil électrique, les accessoires, les forets, etc. conformément aux

présentes directives en tenant compte des conditions de travail et du travail à
effectuer. L’utilisation d’un outil électrique pour toute opération autre que celle pour laquelle

il a été conçu est dangereuse.

5) UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DU BLOC-PILES

a) Ne recharger l’outil qu’au moyen du chargeur précisé par le fabricant. L’utilisation d’un

chargeur qui convient à un type de bloc-piles risque de provoquer un incendie s’il est utilisé
avec un autre type de bloc-piles.

b) Utiliser les outils électriques uniquement avec les blocs-piles conçus à cet effet.

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

c) Lorsque le bloc-piles n’est pas utilisé, le tenir éloigné des objets métalliques,

notamment des trombones, de la monnaie, des clés, des clous, des vis ou autres
petits objets métalliques qui peuvent établir une connexion entre les deux bornes. Le

court-circuit des bornes du bloc-piles risque de provoquer des brûlures ou un incendie.

d) En cas d’utilisation abusive, le liquide peut gicler hors du bloc-piles; éviter tout

contact avec ce liquide. Si un contact accidentel se produit, laver à grande eau. Si
le liquide entre en contact avec les yeux, obtenir également des soins médicaux. Le

liquide qui gicle hors du bloc-piles peut provoquer des irritations ou des brûlures.

6) RÉPARATION

a) Faire réparer l’outil électrique par un réparateur professionnel en n’utilisant que des

pièces de rechange identiques. Cela permettra de maintenir une utilisation sécuritaire de

l’outil électrique.

Avertissements de sécurité relatifs au marteau
perforateur/perceuse/visseuse

• Porter des protecteurs auditifs si une perceuse à percussion est utilisée. Une exposition

au bruit peut entraîner une perte auditive.

• Tenir l’outil par sa surface de prise isolée dans une situation où l’outil de coupe peut

entrer en contact avec un câblage caché ou avec son propre cordon d’alimentation.

Tout contact avec un fil « sous tension » mettra « sous tension » les pièces métalliques
exposées de l’outil et provoquera un choc électrique chez l’opérateur de l’outil.

• Utiliser des brides de fixation ou tout autre dispositif de fixation pratique permettant

de soutenir et de retenir la pièce sur une plate-forme stable. Tenir la pièce avec la main

ou contre le corps rend la pièce instable et risque de provoquer une perte de maîtrise de
l’outil.

• Porter des protecteurs auditifs lors de martelage pendant des périodes prolongées.

Une exposition prolongée à un bruit d’intensité élevée peut provoquer une perte auditive. Les
niveaux sonores élevés produits par le marteau perforateur pourraient provoquer une perte
auditive temporaire ou endommager gravement les tympans.

• Porter des lunettes de sécurité ou une autre protection oculaire. Le martelage et la

perforation peuvent projeter des fragments. Les particules projetées peuvent endommager
les yeux irréversiblement.

• Les forets à maçonnerie et les outils deviennent chauds en cours d’utilisation. Pour les

toucher, porter des gants.

AVERTISSEMENT : TOUJOURS porter des lunettes de sécurité. Les lunettes ordinaires
ne constituent PAS des lunettes de sécurité. Utiliser également un masque protecteur ou
antipoussière si l’opération de coupe génère de la poussière. TOUJOURS PORTER UN
ÉQUIPEMENT DE SÉCURITÉ HOMOLOGUÉ :

• protection oculaire conforme à la norme ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3),

• protection auditive conforme à la norme ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) et

• protection des voies respiratoires conforme aux normes NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA.

AVERTISSEMENT : certaines poussières produites par les activités de ponçage, sciage,
meulage, perçage et autres activités de construction peuvent contenir des produits chimiques
pouvant causer le cancer, des anomalies congénitales ou d’autres problèmes liés aux fonctions
reproductrices. Voici quelques exemples de ces produits chimiques :

• le plomb contenu dans les peintures à base de plomb,

• la silice cristalline de la brique, du ciment et d’autres produits de maçonnerie, et

• l’arsenic et le chrome provenant de bois traité chimiquement.

Les risques reliés à l’exposition à ces poussières varient selon la fréquence à laquelle l’utilisateur
travaille avec ce type de matériau. Pour réduire l’exposition à ces produits chimiques : travailler
dans un endroit bien ventilé et porter un équipement de sécurité approuvé, comme un masque
antipoussière conçu spécialement pour filtrer les particules microscopiques.

• Éviter le contact prolongé avec les poussières produites par les activités de ponçage,

sciage, meulage, perçage et autres activités de construction. Porter des vêtements de
protection et laver les parties du corps exposées avec une solution d’eau et de savon.

Le fait de laisser la poussière pénétrer dans la bouche et les yeux ou de la laisser reposer
sur la peau peut promouvoir l’absorption de produits chimiques nocifs.

AVERTISSEMENT : l’utilisation de cet outil peut produire et/ou disperser des poussières
pouvant causer des problèmes respiratoires graves et permanents ou d’autres problèmes de
santé. Toujours porter un appareil respiratoire approuvé par la NIOSH/OSHA pour se protéger
de la poussière. Diriger les particules loin du visage et du corps.

AVERTISSEMENT : toujours porter une protection auditive appropriée conformément à
la norme ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) lors de l’utilisation du produit. Dans certaines conditions et

selon la durée d’utilisation, le bruit émis par ce produit peut contribuer à une perte auditive.

MISE EN GARDE : lorsque l’outil n’est pas utilisé, le placer sur le côté, sur une surface
stable, de manière à ne faire trébucher ni tomber personne. Certains outils présentant un

gros bloc-piles reposeront sur ce dernier, à la verticale, mais risquent d’être facilement
renversés.

Directives de sécurité importantes pour tous
les blocs-piles

Pour la commande d’un bloc-piles de rechange, s’assurer d’inclure le numéro de catalogue
et la tension. Consulter le tableau figurant à la fin du présent mode d’emploi pour connaître la
compatibilité des chargeurs et des blocs-piles.

Le bloc-piles n’est pas complètement chargé à la sortie de l’emballage. Avant d’utiliser le bloc­piles et le chargeur, lire les directives de sécurité ci-après. Respecter ensuite les consignes de
chargement décrites.

LIRE TOUTES LES DIRECTIVES

• Ne pas charger ou utiliser un bloc-piles dans un milieu déflagrant, en présence
de liquides, de gaz ou de poussière inflammables. Insérer ou retirer un bloc-piles du

chargeur peut enflammer de la poussière ou des émanations.

• NE JAMAIS forcer l’insertion d’un bloc-piles dans le chargeur. Ne pas modifier un
bloc-piles de quelque façon que ce soit pour l’insérer dans un chargeur incompatible,
car il risque de se rompre et de provoquer de graves blessures corporelles. Consulter

le tableau figurant à la fin du présent manuel pour connaître la compatibilité des piles et des
chargeurs.

• Charger les blocs-piles uniquement au moyen de chargeurs D

EWALT.

• NE PAS éclabousser le bloc-piles ni l’immerger dans l’eau ou dans tout autre liquide.

• Ne pas ranger ni utiliser l’outil et le bloc-piles à un endroit où la température peut
atteindre ou dépasser les 40 °C (105 °F) (comme dans les remises extérieures ou les
bâtiments métalliques l’été).

DANGER : Risque d’électrocution. Ne jamais ouvrir le bloc-piles pour quelque raison que

ce soit. Si le boîtier du bloc-piles est fissuré ou endommagé, ne pas l’insérer dans un chargeur.
Ne pas écraser, faire tomber ou endommager le bloc-piles. Ne pas utiliser un bloc-piles ou un
chargeur qui a reçu un choc violent, qui est tombé, a été écrasé ou est endommagé de quelque
manière que ce soit (p. ex. percé par un clou, frappé d’un coup de marteau, piétiné). En effet,
il y a risque de choc électrique ou d’électrocution. Les blocs-piles endommagés doivent être
envoyés au centre de réparation pour être recyclés.

REMARQUE : un boîtier spécial et des capuchons de sécurité sont fournis avec
le bloc-piles pour utilisation chaque fois qu’on le retire de l’outil ou du chargeur pour
le ranger ou le transporter. Enlever le capuchon avant de remettre le bloc-piles dans
le chargeur ou l’outil.

AVERTISSEMENT : Risque d’incendie. Ne pas ranger ni ne transporter les
piles de manière à ce que des objets métalliques puissent entrer en contact
avec les bornes exposées des piles. On ne doit pas mettre, par exemple, le bloc-piles sans

capuchon dans un tablier, une poche, une boîte à outils, une boîte de nécessaire de produit,
un tiroir, etc. avec des clous, des vis, des clés, etc. Le transport des piles peut causer un

incendie si les bornes des piles entrent en contact involontairement avec des matières
conductrices comme des clés, de la monnaie, des outils manuels et d’autres éléments
semblables. La Hazardous Material Regulations (réglementation sur les produits dangereux)

du département américain des transports interdit en fait le transport des blocs-piles pour le
commerce et dans les avions (c.-à-d. dans des valises et les bagages à main) À MOINS qu’ils
ne soient bien protégés contre les courts-circuits. Pour le transport de piles individuelles, on doit
donc s’assurer que les bornes sont protégées et bien isolées contre toute matière pouvant entrer
en contact avec elles et provoquer un court-circuit.

DIRECTIVES DE SÉCURITÉ SPÉCIFIQUES AUX PILES DE NICKEL-CADMIUM (NiCd) OU
À L’HYDRURE MÉTALLIQUE DE NICKEL (NiMH)

• Ne pas incinérer le bloc-piles, même s’il est très endommagé ou complètement usé,

car il pourrait exploser au contact de flammes.

• Une petite fuite de liquide peut se produire dans les cellules du bloc-piles en

cas d’utilisation extrême ou de conditions de température. Cela n’indique pas de
défaillance.

Toutefois, si le joint d’étanchéité extérieur est rompu :

a. et que le liquide entre en contact avec la peau, laver rapidement la zone touchée au savon

et à l’eau pendant plusieurs minutes.

b. si le liquide du bloc-piles entre en contact avec les yeux, les rincer abondamment à l’eau

propre, pendant un minimum de 10 minutes, et consulter immédiatement un médecin.
(Note médicale : le liquide est composé d’une solution comprenant de 25 % à 35 %
d’hydroxyde de potassium).

DIRECTIVES DE SÉCURITÉ SPÉCIFIQUES POUR LES PILES AU LITHIUM-ION (LI-ION)

• Ne pas incinérer le bloc-piles, même s’il est très endommagé ou complètement usé,

car il peut exploser au contact de flammes. Des vapeurs et des matières toxiques sont
dégagées lorsque les blocs-piles au lithium-ion sont incinérés.

• Si le contenu du bloc-piles entre en contact avec la peau, laver immédiatement la zone

touchée au savon doux et à l’eau. Si le liquide de la pile entre en contact avec les yeux,
rincer l’œil ouvert à l’eau pendant 15 minutes ou jusqu’à ce que l’irritation cesse. Si des
soins médicaux sont nécessaires, l’électrolyte du bloc-piles est composé d’un mélange de
carbonates organiques liquides et de sels de lithium.

• Le contenu des cellules de pile ouvertes peut provoquer une irritation respiratoire.

Exposer la personne à de l’air frais. Si les symptômes persistent, obtenir des soins
médicaux.

AVERTISSEMENT : Risque de brûlure. Le liquide du bloc-piles peut s’enflammer s’il est
exposé à des étincelles ou à une flamme.

Le sceau SRPRC™

Le sceau SRPRC™ (Société de recyclage des piles rechargeables au Canada)
apposé sur les piles ou blocs-piles au nickel-cadmium, à hydrure métallique de
nickel ou au lithium-ion indique que D
la pile ou du bloc-piles à la fin de sa période d’utilisation. Dans certaines régions,
il est illégal de jeter les piles ou blocs-piles au nickel-cadmium, à hydrure métallique
