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 burns 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 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.

• 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 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.

• 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.

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 respiratory protection.

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 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.

General Safety Rules

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 battery­operated (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 condi­tions 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) If 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 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 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, break-

age of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools 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 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.

Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Packs

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.

EWALT rechargeable

• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk of

damage to electric plug and cord.

• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or

otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper

extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for
safety. 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. 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 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 operate charger with damaged cord or plug.

• Do not operate charger if 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 120V household electrical power. Do
not attempt to use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger.

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.

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.

into place as shown in Figure 8.

To remove the battery pack from the tool, press the release buttons (G) 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

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS operate the tool with the side han-

dle properly installed. Failure to do so may result in the side handle slipping during tool operation
and subsequent loss of control. 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 during
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 prevent

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

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

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

Wear proper ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3) eye protection and proper NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA
respiratory protection when performing this.

EWALT,

Règles de sécurité – Généralités

AVERTISSEMENT : Lire toutes ces directives. Tout manquement aux directives

suivantes pose des risques de choc électrique, d’incendie et/ou de blessure grave.
Le terme « outil électrique » dans tous les avertissements ci-après se rapporte à votre
outil électrique à alimentation sur secteur (avec fil) ou par piles (sans fil).

CONSERVER CES DIRECTIVES

1) SÉCURITÉ - AIRE DE TRAVAIL

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

propices aux accidents.

b) Ne pas faire fonctionner un outil électrique dans une atmosphère explosive, en

présence par exemple de poussières, gaz ou liquides inflammables. Les outils

électriques peuvent engendrer des étincelles qui pourraient enflammer toute émanation
ou poussière ambiante.

c) Tenir les enfants, ou toute autre personne, éloignés pendant l’utilisation d’un outil

électrique. Toute distraction pourrait vous faire perdre la maîtrise de ce dernier.

2) SÉCURITÉ – ÉLECTRICITÉ

a) La fiche électrique de l’outil doit correspondre à la prise murale. Ne jamais

modifier la fiche en aucune façon. Ne jamais utiliser de fiche d’adaptation avec un
outil électrique mis à la terre. L’utilisation de fiches d’origine et de prises appropriées

réduira les risques de choc électrique.

b) Éviter tout contact corporel avec des éléments mis à la terre comme tuyaux,

radiateurs, cuisinières ou réfrigérateurs. Les risques de choc électrique augmentent

lorsque le corps est mis à la terre.

c) Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à la pluie ou à l’humidité. Toute pénétration d’un

outil électrique par un liquide augmente les risques 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. Protéger le cordon de la chaleur,
de l’huile et de tout bord tranchant ou pièce mobile. Les cordons endommagés ou

emmêlés augmentent les risques de choc électrique.

e) Lors de l’utilisation d’un outil électrique à l’extérieur, n’utiliser que des rallonges

conçues pour l’extérieur. L’utilisation d’une rallonge conçue pour l’extérieur réduit les

risques de choc électrique. En cas d’utilisation d’une rallonge, s’assurer que les valeurs
nominales de la rallonge utilisée correspondent bien à celles de l’outil alimenté. L’usage
d’une rallonge de calibre insuffisant causera une chute de tension entraînant perte de puis­sance et surchauffe. Le tableau ci-dessous illustre les calibres à utiliser selon la longueur
de rallonge et l’intensité nominale indiquée sur la plaque signalétique. En cas de doutes,
utiliser le calibre suivant. Plus le calibre est petit, plus la rallonge peut supporter de cou­rant.

3) SÉCURITÉ PERSONNELLE

a) Rester vigilant en tout temps et faire preuve de jugement pendant l’utilisation

d’un outil électrique. Ne pas utiliser d’outil électrique en cas de fatigue ou sous
l’influence de drogues, d’alcool ou de médicaments. Tout moment d’inattention pendant

l’utilisation d’un outil électrique pose des risques de blessure grave.

b) Utiliser le matériel de sécurité approprié. Toujours porter des lunettes de protection.

Le fait de porter un masque anti-poussières, des chaussures antidérapantes, un casque
de sécurité ou des protecteurs auditifs lorsque la situation le requiert réduira les risques
de blessure.

c) Éviter tout démarrage accidentel. S’assurer que l’interrupteur est en position

d’arrêt avant tout branchement. Transporter un outil le doigt sur l’interrupteur ou

brancher un outil électrique alors que l’interrupteur est en position de marche invite les
accidents.

d) Retirer toute clé de réglage avant de démarrer l’outil. Une clé laissée sur une pièce

rotative d’un outil électrique pose des risques de blessure.

e) Ne pas effectuer de travaux hors de portée. Les pieds doivent rester bien ancrés au

sol afin de maintenir son équilibre en tout temps. Cela permet de mieux maîtriser l’outil

électrique dans les situations imprévues.

f) Porter des vêtements appropriés. Ne pas porter de vêtements amples ni de bijoux.

Maintenir cheveux, vêtements et gants éloignés des pièces mobiles. Vêtements

amples, bijoux ou cheveux longs risquent de rester coincés dans ces pièces mobiles.
Prendre des précautions autour des évents car ils recouvrent des pièces mobiles.

g) Lorsque un dispositif de connexion à un système de dépoussiérage ou d’élimination

est fourni, s’assurer qu’il est connecté et utilisé correctement. L’utilisation de ces dis-

positifs peut réduire les risques engendrés par les poussières.

4) UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DES OUTILS ÉLECTRIQUES

a) Ne pas forcer un outil électrique. Utiliser l’outil approprié au travail en cours. L’outil

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 appareil

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

c) Débrancher la fiche du secteur et/ou le bloc-piles de l’outil électrique avant de

faire tout réglage ou changement d’accessoire, ou avant de ranger ce dernier. Ces

mesures préventives réduisent les risques de démarrage accidentel de l’appareil.

d) Après usage, 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
manuel d’instruction) d’utiliser ce dernier. Les outils peuvent être dangereux entre les

mains des novices.

e) Entretenir les outils électriques. Vérifier les pièces mobiles pour s’assurer qu’elles

sont bien alignées et tournent librement, qu’elles sont en bon état et ne sont
affectées d’aucune condition susceptible de nuire au bon fonctionnement de l’outil.
En cas de dommage, faire réparer l’outil électrique avant toute nouvelle utilisation.

Bien des accidents sont causés par des outils mal entretenus.

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

nus et affûtés sont moins susceptibles de se coincer et sont plus faciles à contrôler.

g) Utiliser un outil électrique, ses accessoires, mèches, etc., conformément aux présen-

tes directives et suivant la manière prévue pour ce type particulier d’outil électrique,
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 DE L’OUTIL ALIMENTÉ PAR PILE

a) S’assurer que l’interrupteur se trouve à la position d’arrêt avant d’insérer le bloc-

piles. Insérer un bloc-piles dans un outil électrique dont l’interrupteur est à la position de

marche risque de provoquer un accident.

b) 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.

c) 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.

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

ment des trombones, de la monnaie, des clés, des clous, des vis, etc., qui peuvent
établir une connexion entre les deux bornes. Mettre en court-circuit les bornes du bloc-

piles peut provoquer des brûlures ou un incendie.

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

contact. Si un contact accidentel se produit, laver à grande eau. Si le liquide entre
en contact avec les yeux, obtenir des soins médicaux. Le liquide qui gicle hors du bloc-

piles peut provoquer des irritations ou des brûlures.

6) SERVICE

a) Faire entretenir les outils électriques par un réparateur qualifié en n’utilisant que des

pièces de rechange identiques. Cela permettra d’assurer l’intégrité de l’outil électrique

et la sécurité de l’utilisateur.

Règles de sécurité spécifiques pour les marteaux
perforateurs

• Tenir l’outil par les surfaces de saisie isolées pour les travaux où l’outil de coupe ris­que de toucher à des fils dissimulés. Tout contact avec un fil “sous tension” provoquera

“l’électrisation” des parties métalliques exposées et l’électrocution de l’utilisateur.

• Porter des protecteurs auditifs si une perceuse à percussion est utilisée. Une exposition
au bruit peut entraîner une perte auditive.

• Utiliser les poignées auxiliaires fournies avec l’outil. Une perte de maîtrise de l’outil peut
entraîner des blessures corporelles.

• Utiliser des brides de fixation ou tout autre dispositif de fixation permettant de soute­nir et de retenir la pièce sur une plate-forme stable. Tenir la pièce avec la main ou contre

son corps est instable et risque de provoquer une perte de maîtrise de l’outil.

• Porter des protecteurs auditifs lors de martelage sur des périodes prolongées. Une
exposition prolongée à un bruit d’intensité élevé 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.

• Toujours utiliser la poignée latérale fournie avec l’outil. Tenir fermement l’outil en tout
temps. Ne pas utiliser l’outil sans le tenir des deux mains.

• Les mèches à maçonnerie et les outils deviennent chauds en cours de fonctionnement.
Pour les toucher, porter des gants.

AVERTISSEMENT : TOUJOURS uporter des lunettes de sécurité. Les lunettes de vue ne

constituent PAS des lunettes de sécurité. Utiliser également un masque facial ou anti-poussière
si l’opération de découpe génère de la poussière. TOUJOURS PORTER UN ÉQUIPEMENT DE
PROTECTION 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 conformes aux normes NIOSH/OSHA.

AVERTISSEMENT : Certains outils électriques, tels que les sableuses, les scies, les meules,

les perceuses ou certains autres outils de construction, peuvent produire de la poussière conten­ant des produits chimiques susceptibles d’entraîner le cancer, des malformations congénitales ou
pouvant être nocifs pour le système reproductif. Parmi ces produits chimiques, on retrouve :

• le plomb dans les peintures à base de plomb,

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

• l’arsenic et le chrome dans le bois de sciage ayant subi un traitement chimique (comme
l’arséniate de cuivre et de chrome).

Le risque associé à de telles expositions varie selon la fréquence avec laquelle on effectue ces
travaux. Pour réduire l’exposition à de tels produits, il faut travailler dans un endroit bien aéré
et utiliser le matériel de sécurité approprié, tel un masque anti-poussières spécialement conçu
pour filtrer les particules microscopiques.

• Éviter tout contact prolongé avec la poussière soulevée par cet outil ou autres outils
électriques. Porter des vêtements de protection et nettoyer les parties exposées du
corps à l’eau savonneuse. S’assurer de bien se protéger afin d’éviter d’absorber par la

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

AVERTISSEMENT : Cet outil peut produire et répandre de la poussière susceptible de causer

des dommages sérieux et permanents au système respiratoire. Toujours utiliser un appareil
respiratoire anti-poussières approprié approuvé par le NIOSH ou l’OSHA. Diriger les particules
dans le sens opposé du visage et du corps.

AVERTISSEMENT : TOUJOURS porter une protection auditive appropriée conformé-

ment à la norme ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) lors de l’utilisation du produit. Dans certaines condi-

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

MISE EN GARDE : Après utilisation, ranger l’outil sur son côté sur une surface stable

là où il ne pourra faire ni trébucher ni tomber personne. Bien que certains outils munis d’un

gros bloc-pile puissent être placés à la verticale, dans cette position, ils peuvent facilement être
renversés.

• L’étiquette apposée sur l’outil peut afficher les symboles suivants. Ces symboles et leurs défi-

nitions sont les suivants :

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

• 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.
