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 bat- tery-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 gage. The smaller the gage

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 tools may 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 cor-

rect 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 unfa-

miliar 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, ff 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 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. 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.

Specific Safety Rules for Hammerdrills

• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also make

exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.

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

• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tooL Loss of control can cause personal injury.

• 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 expo- sure 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.

• Always use the side handle supplied with the tool Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Do not attempt to operate this tool without holding it with both hands.

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

J& 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 $12.6 ($3. 19) hearing protection,

• NIOSH/OSHA respiratory protection.

J& WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other con- struction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproduc- tive 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.

_, 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.

• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on charger, battery pack, 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 DEWALT 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 DEWALT 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 (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 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 heat. Place the charg- er 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.

KEY FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS

Variable Speed Switch (Fig. 1)

Toturn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch (A). To turn the tool off, release the trigger switch. Your tool is equipped with a brake. The chuck will stop as soon as the trigger switch is fully

released. NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is not recommended. It may damage the switch

and should be avoided.

Forward/Reverse Control Button (Fig. 1)

A forward/reverse control button (B) determines the direction the tool will spin and also serves as a lock-off button.

To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch and depress the forward/reverse control button on the right side of the tool. To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse control button on the left side of the tool.

The center position of the control button locks the tool in the OFF position. When changing the position of the control button, be sure the trigger is released.

NOTE: The first time the tool is run after changing the direction of rotation, you may hear a click on start up. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.

Mode Control Collar

Your drill is equipped with a separate mode control collar (Fig. 1, C) to switch between drilling and screwdriving.

SCREWDRIVlNG (FIG. 2)

1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the three-speed gear shifter (E) on the top of tool to match the speed and torque to the planned application. To set the torque level to the proper setting on the clutch collar, initially set the clutch collar at a lower setting to ensure the fastener to be set to your specification.

NOTE: Use the lowest torque setting required to seat the fastener at the desired depth. The lower the number, the lower the torque output.

2. Rotate the mode control collar (C) so the line on the lever (F) is aligned with the screw symbol.

3. Set the torque adjustment collar (D) to the appropriate number setting for the torque desired.

NOTE: The torque adjustment collar may be set on any number and change between

screwdriving and drilling modes using the mode control collar.

DRILLING (FIG. 3)

_,CAUTION: When the mode collar is in the drill/hammerdrill mode, the drill will not clutch out

regardless of the position of the torque adjustment collar (D).

Rotate the mode control collar (C) so that the line on the lever (F) is aligned with the drill symbol.

NOTE: The torque adjustment collar (D) may be set on any number. HAMMERDRILLING (FIG. 4)

Rotate the mode control collar (C) to align the line on the lever (F) with the hammerdrill symbol and turn the torque adjustment collar (D) to align the hammer symbol with the line (F).

Torque Adjustment Collar (Fig. 2)

Your tool has an adjustable torque screwdriver mechanism for driving and removing a wide array of fastener shapes and sizes and a hammer mechanism for drilling into masonry. Circling the torque adjustment collar (D) are numbers and a hammer symbol. These numbers are used

to set the clutch to deliver a torque range. The higher the number on the collar, the higher the torque and the larger the fastener which can be driven. To select any of the numbers, rotate until the desired number aligns with the arrow.

Three-Speed Gearing (Fig. 2)

The three-speed feature of your tool allows you to shift gears for greater versatility To select speed 1 (highest torque setting), turn the tool off and permit itto stop. Slide the gear shifter (E) all

the way to the left. Speed 2 (middle torque and speed setting) is in the middle position. Speed 3 (highest speed setting) isto the right.

NOTE: Do not change gears when the tool is running. Always allow the drill to come to a complete stop before changing gears. If you have trouble changing gears, make sure that the gear shifter is engaged in one of the three speed settings.

OPERATION Installing and Removing the Battery Pack (Fig. 8, 9)

NOTE: Make sure your battery pack is fully charged.

,&CAUTION: Make certain the lock-off button (B), as shown in Figure 1, is engaged to prevent switch actuation before removing or installing battery.

To install the battery pack into the tool handle, align the base of the tool with the rails inside the tool's handle and slide the battery pack firmly into the handle until you hear the lock snap

into place (Fig. 8).

To remove the battery pack from the tool, press the release button (H) and firmly pull the

battery pack out of the tool handle. Insert it into the charger (Fig. 9) as described in the charger

section of this manual.

Side Handle

A CAUTION: Always operate the tool with the side handle properly

assembled. Hold tool with both hands to maximize control.

Side handle clamps to the front of the gear case as shown and may be

rotated to permit right- or left-hand use. Side handle must be tightened sufficiently to resist the twisting action of the tool if the accessory binds or stalls. Be sure to grip the side handle at the far end to control the tool dur-

ing a stall.

If model is not equipped with side handle, grip drill with one hand on the handle and one hand

on the battery pack.

Drill Operation

1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the gear shifter to match the speed and torque to the planned operation.

2. For WOOD, use twist bits, spade bits, power auger bits or hole saws. For METAL, use high- speed steel twist drill bits or hole saws. Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry.

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

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

5. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being overloaded. RELEASE TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY, remove drill bit from work, and determine cause of stalling. DO NOT

CLICK TRIGGER OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED DRILL - THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.

6. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled hole. This will help 3revent

jamming.

Hammerdrill Operation

1. When drilling, use 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 a lower drilling rate.

2. Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to the work. Do not exert side pressure on the bit when drilling as this will cause clogging of the bit flutes and a slower drilling speed.

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

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

4. For MASONRY, use carbide-tipped bits or masonry bits. A smooth, even flow of dust indi- cates the proper drilling rate.

Screwdriver Operation

Select the desired speed/torque range using the three-speed gear shift lever on the top of tool

to match the speed and torque to the planned operation. Insert the desired fastener accessory

into the chuck as you would any drill bit. Set the torque adjustment collar (D) to the desired

setting. Make a few practice runs in scrap or unseen areas to determine the proper position of the clutch collar.

MAINTENANCE Cleaning

_, WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air at least once a week. To

minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when performing this. Exterior plastic parts may be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent.

Although these parts are highly solvent resistant, NEVER use solvents.

CHARGER CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

_ AVERTISSEMENT : Lire toutes ces directives. Tout manquement aux directives

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

grave. Le terme , outil electrique _ dans tous les avertissements ci-apr#s se rapporte

votre outil electrique _ 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 encombrCs 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

61ectriques peuvent engendrer des 6tincelles qui pourraient enflammer toute 6manation

ou poussibre ambiante.

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

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

2) SI_CURITI_ - I_LECTRICITI_

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

modifier la fiche en aucune faFon. Ne jamais utiliser de fiche d'adaptation avec un outil electrique mis a la terre. L'utilisation de fiches d'origine et de prises appropri6es

r6duira les risques de choc 61ectrique.

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

radiateurs, cuisinieres ou refrigerateurs. Les risques de choc #/ectrique augmentent

Iorsque le corps est mis a la terre.

c) Ne pas exposer les outils electriques a la pluie ou a I'humidite. Toute p#n#tration d'un

outil #lectrique par un liquide augmente les risques de choc #lectrique.

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

transporter, 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 endommag#s ou emm61#s augmentent les risques de choc #lectrique.

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

conFues pour I'exterieur. L'utilisation d'une rallonge conoue pour I'ext#rieur r#du# les risques de choc #lectrique. En cas d'utilisation d'une rallonge, s'assurer que les valeurs

nominales de la rallonge utilis#e correspondent bien a celles de Ibutil alimentS. L'usage d'une rallonge de calibre insuffisant causera une chute de tension entrMnant perte de

puissance et surchauffe. Le tableau ci-dessous illustre les calibres a utiliser selon la

Iongueur de rallonge et I'intensit# nominale indiqu#e sur la plaque signal#tique. 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'influ- ence de drogues, d'alcool ou de medicaments. Tout moment d'inattention pendant

I'utilisation d'un outil _lectrique 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-poussibres, des chaussures antid_rapantes, un casque de s#curit# ou des protecteurs auditifs Iorsque la situation le requiert r#duira les risques

de blessure.

c) E:viter tout demarrage accidenteL S'assurer que I'interrupteur est en position

d'arr6t avant tout branchement. Transporter un outil le doigt sur I'interrupteur ou brancher un outil #lectrique alors que I'interrupteur est en position de marche invite les

accidents.

d) Retirer toute cle de reglage avant de demarrer I'outil. Une cl_ laiss_e sur une pibce

rotative d'un outil #lectrique 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 #lectrique dans les situations impr#vues.

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

Maintenir cheveux, vCtements et gants eloignes des pieces mobiles. V#tements

amples, bijoux ou cheveux longs risquent de rester coinc_s clans ces pibces mobiles. Prendre des precautions autour des #vents car ils recouvrent des pibces mobiles.

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

tion est fourni, s'assurer qu'il est connecte et utilise correctement. L'uti/isationde ces

dispositifs peut r_duire les risques engendr_s par les poussibres.

4) UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DES OUTILS I_LECTRIQUES

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

appropri# effectuera un meilleur travail, de fa_on plus s_re eta la vitesse pour laquelle il a#t# conou.

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

dont I'interrupteur est d#fectueux est dangereux et doit #tre r#par#.

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 r#duisent les risques de d#marrage 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 _tre 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'elles sont en bon etat et ne sont affectees 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

entretenus et affOt#s sont moins susceptibles de se coincer et sont plus faciles a contr61er.

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 #lectrique pour toute operation autre que celle pour laquelle il a#t#

conou est dangereuse.

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

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

piles. InsUrer un bloc-piles dans un outil _lectrique 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 utilis# 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 bornes 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. Si le 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 brDlures.

6) SERVICE

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

des pieces de rechange identiques. Cela permettra d'assurer I'int_grit_ de I'outil

#lectrique et la s#curit# de I'utilisateur.

R_gles de s_curit_ sp_cifiques pour les marteaux perforateurs

• 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 dissimule ou avec son propre cordon d'alimentation. Tout contact avec un fil _ sous tension _,mettra _ sous tension _,les pibces

m#talliques de I'outil et #lectrocutera I'op#rateur de I'outil.

• Porter des protecteurs auditifs si une perceuse a percussion est utilisee. Une exposi-

tion au bruit peut entrMner une perte auditive.

• Utiliser les poignees auxiliaires fournies avec I'outil. Une perte de maftrise de I'outil peut entrafner des blessures corporelles.

• Utiliser des brides de fixation ou tout autre dispositif de fixation permettant de soutenir et de retenir la piece sur une plate-forme stable. Tenir la pibce avec la main ou contre son corps est instable et risque de provoquer une perte de maftrise de Ibutil.

• Porter des protecteurs auditifs Iors de martelage sur des periodes prolongees. Une exposition prolong#e a un bruit d'intensit# #lev# peut provoquer une perte auditive. Les niveaux sonores #lev#s produits par le marteau perforateur pourraient provoquer une perte auditive temporaire ou endommager gravement les tympans.

• Porter des lunettes de securite ou une autre protection oculaire.. Le martelage et la perforation peuvent projeter des fragments. Les particules projet#es peuvent endommager les yeux irr#versiblement.

• Toujours utiliser la poignee laterale fournie avec I'outil. Tenir fermement I'outil en tout

temps. Ne pas utiliser I'outil sans le tenir des deux mains.

• Les meches a maFonnerie et les outils deviennent chauds en cours de fonction- nement. Pour les toucher, porter des gants.

AVERTISSEMENT : TOUJOURS uporter des lunettes de s#curit#. Les lunettes de vue ne

constituent PAS des lunettes de s#curit#. Utiliser #galement un masque facial ou anti-poussibre si I'op#ration de d#coupe g#nb[e de la poussibre. TOUJOURS PORTER UN EQUIPEMENT DE

PROTECTION HOMOLOGUE :

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

• protection auditive conforme a la norme ANSI $12.6 ($3.19) et

• protection des voies respiratoires conformes aux normes NIOSH/OSHA.

_AVERTISSEMENT : Certains outils #lectriques, tels que les sableuses, les scies, les meules,

les perceuses ou certains autres outils de construction, peuvent produire de la poussiere con-

tenant des produits chimiques susceptibles d'entrafner le cancer, des malformations cong#ni- tales ou pouvant 6tre nocifs pour le systbme reproductif. Parmi ces produits chimiques, on

retrouve :

• le plomb dans les peintures a base de plomb,

• la silice cristalline dans les briques et le ciment et autres produits de maoonnerie,

• I'arsenic et le chrome dans le bois de sciage ayant subi un traitement chimique (comme

I'ars#niate de cuivre et de chrome).

Le risque associ# a de telles expositions varie selon la fr#quence avec laquelle on effectue ces

travaux. Pour r_duire I'exposition a de tels produits, il faut travailler clans un endro# bien a_r_ et utiliser le materiel de s#curit# appropri#, tel un masque anti-poussibres sp#cialement conou

pour filtrer les particules microscopiques.

• Eviter tout contact prolonge avec la poussiere soulevee par cet outil ou autres outils electriques. Porter des vCtements de protection et nettoyer les parties exposees du corps a I'eau savonneuse. S'assurer de bien se prot_ger afin d'_viter d'absorber par la

bouche, les yeux ou la peau des produits chimiques nocifs.

AAVERTISSEMENT : Cet outil peut produire et r#pandre de la poussibre susceptible de causer des dommages s#rieux et permanents au systbme respiratoire. Toujours utiliser un appareil res-

piratoire anti-poussibres appropri# approuv# par le NIOSH ou I'OSHA. Diriger les particules dans le sens oppos# du visage et du corps.

•&MISE EN GARDE : Apres utilisation, ranger I'outil sur son c6te sur une surface stable

la ob il ne pourra faire ni trebucher ni tomber personne. Bien que certains outils munis d'un gros bloc-pile puissent 6tre places a la verticale, dans cette position, ils peuvent facilement 6tre

renvers#s.

i_MISE EN GARDE : Porter un appareil de protection personnel anti-bruit approprie

durant I'utilisation. Sous certaines conditions et pendant toute la dur#e de I'utilisation, le bruit

#manant de ce produit pourrait contribuer a la perte d'audition.

Directives de sdcuritd importantes pour les chargeurs de piles

CONSERVER CES DIRECTIVES : Ce manuel contient des directives de s#curit# importantes

sur les chargeurs de piles.

• Avant d'utiliser le chargeur, lire toutes les directives et les indications d'avertissement figurant sur le chargeur, le bloc-piles et le produit utilis# avec le bloc-piles.

_AVERTISSEMENT : Risque de choc. E-viter la p#n#tration de tout liquide dans le chargeur. _,MISE EN GARDE : Risque de brDlure. Pour r#duire le risque de blessures, charger seulement

les piles DEWALT. D'autres types de piles peuvent exploser et causer des blessures corporelles et des dommages.

,&MISE EN GARDE : Sous certaines conditions, Iorsque le chargeur est branch_ au bloc d'afi- mentation, le chargeur peut 6tre court-circuit# par des corps #trangers. Tout corps #tranger con- ducteur, tel que, mais sans s'y limiter, la laine d'acier, le papier d'aluminium, ou toute accumu-

lation de particules m#talliques, doit 6tre maintenu a distance des ouvertures du chargeur. Debrancher systematiquement le chargeur si aucun bloc-piles n'y est insere. Debrancher le

chargeur avant tout nettoyage.

• NE PAS charger le bloc-piles au moyen de tout autre chargeur que ceux mentionnes

clans le present manuel Le chargeur et le bloc-piles sont sp#cialement conous pour #tre

utilis#s ensemble.

• Ces chargeurs ne sont pas prevus pour 6tre utilises a d'autres fins que celles de

charger les piles rechargeables DEWALT. Toute autre utilisation risque de provoquer un incendie, un choc #lectrique ou une #lectrocution.

• Ne pas exposer le chargeur a la pluie ou a la neige.

• Tirer sur la fiche plut6t que sur le cordon pour debrancher le chargeur. Cela permet

de r#duire le risque d'endommager la fiche ou le cordon d'alimentation.

• S'assurer que le cordon est situe en lieu sOr de maniere ace que personne ne marche

ni ne trebuche dessus ou ace qu'il ne soit pas endommage ni soumis a une tension.

• Ne pas utiliser de rallonge a moins que cela ne soit absolument necessaire.

L'utilisation d'une rallonge inadequate risque d'entrMner un incendie, un choc #lectrique ou une #lectrocution.

• La rallonge utilisee dolt presenter un calibre adequat (AWG ou calibrage americain

normalise des ills) pour assurer la securite. Plus le num#ro de calibre de fil est petit et plus sa capacit# est grande, par exemple un calibre 16 a plus de capacit# qu'un calibre 18.

Si plus d'une rallonge est utilis#e pour obtenir la Iongueur totale, s'assurer que chaque ral-

Ionge pr#sente au moins le calibre de fil minimum.

• Ne pas mettre d'objet sur le chargeur ni mettre ce dernier sur une surface molle

pouvant obstruer les fentes de ventilation et ainsi provoquer une chaleur interne

excessive. Mettre le chargeur a un endroit #loign# de toute source de chaleur. La ventila-

tion du chargeur se fait par les fentes pratiqu#es dans les parties sup#rieures et inf#rieures

du boftier.
