General Power Tool Safety Warnings

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

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

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 wll/ 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 ifyour body is earthed
or grounded.

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

increase the risk of electric shock.

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

power tool Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

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

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

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

circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric

shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

@ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a

power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may

result in serious personal injury,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

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

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

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

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

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control

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

instructions taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.

5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

@ 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 bums 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 bums.

6) SERVICE

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

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

aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc.
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 (e.g.,packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage)
UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual battery
packs, 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 LITHIUM ION (Li-lon)

• 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 persist, seek medical attention.
_ WARNING: Bum hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark or flame.

The RBRC TM Seal

The RBRCTM (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the nickel
cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium ion batteries (or battery packs) indicate that
the costs to recycle these batteries (or battery packs) at the end of their useful life
have already been paid by DEWALT. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent nickel
cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium ion batteries in the trash or municipal solid
waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally conscious
alternative.
RBRCTM, in cooperation with DEWALT and other battery users, has established programs in the
United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride
or lithium ion batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning
the spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium ion batteries to an authorized DEWALT
service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center
for information on where to drop off the spent battery.

Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Chargers

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important safety and operating

instructions for battery chargers.

• Before using the charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the charger, battery

pack and product using the battery pack.

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

result.
_,CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only DEWALT rechargeable battery
packs. Other types of batteries may overheat and burst resulting in personal injury and property
damage.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply, the charger can
be shorted by foreign material Foreign materials of a conductive nature, such as, but not limited

to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil or any buildup of metallic particles should be
kept away from the charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there
is no battery pack in the cavity, Unplug the 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

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

• Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.

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

the risk of damage to the electric plug and cord.

• Make sure that the 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 charger outdoors, always provide a dry location and 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 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 lower the gauge number, the heavier the

cord.

Charge Indicators

This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise. Problems are indicated by the red
light flashing at a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert the battery pack into the charger. If the problem
persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the charger is working properly. 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 and the battery pack tested at an authorized service center.

HOT/COLD DELAY

This charger has a hot/cold delay feature: when the charger detects a battery that is hot, it
automatically starts a 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/cold delay mode.

LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER

The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the charge indicator showing Pack
Charged.
WEAK BATFERY PACKS: Weak batteries will continue to function but should not be expected to
perform as much work.
FAULTY BATrERY PACKS: This charger will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will
indicate faulty battery pack by refusing to light or by displaying problem pack or charger.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger.

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 the 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. A cold battery pack will charge at about half the rate of a warm battery pack. The battery
pack will charge at that slower rate throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to
maximum charge rate even if the battery pack warms.

4. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of 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 the 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.

5. 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 effect on the battery pack.

6. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips,
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 the charger before attempting to clean.

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

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

result.

i_,WARNING: Bum hazard. Do not submerge the battery pack in any liquid or allow any liquid to
enter the battery pack. 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. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged battery pack in a cool dry place
out of the charger for optimal results.

NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of charge. The battery pack will
need to be recharged before use.

NOT DEPRESS TRIGGER ON AND OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED DRILL

-- THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.

6. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit
through the last fractional part of the hole.

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

jamming.

Screwdriving (Fig. 8)

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

2. Turn the torque adjustment collar (C) to the desired position.
NOTE: Use the lowest torque setting required to seat the fastener at the desired depth. The
lower the number, the lower the torque output.

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 of the workpiece to determine the proper
position of the torque adjustment collar.

5. Always start with lower torque settings, then advance to higher torque settings to avoid
damage to the workpiece or fastener.

Hammerdrilling (Fig. 9)

1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the gear shifter to match the speed and torque to
the planned operation. Turn the collar (C) to the hammerdrill symbol.
IMPORTANT: Use carbide-tipped or masonry bits rated for percussion drilling only.

2. 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 a lower drilling rate.

3. 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.

4. When drilling deep holes, ifthe hammer speed starts to drop off, pull the bit partially out of the
hole with tool still running to help clear debris from the hole.

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

MAINTENANCE

_,WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect
tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing

attachments or accessories.

POUR TOUTE QUESTION OU TOUT COMMENTAIRE RELATIF _, CET OUTIL OU _, PROPOS DE
TOUT AUTRE OUTIL DEWALT, COMPOSER SANS FRAIS LE ' 1-800-4-DEWALT (1-800-433-

9258).

_ AVERTISSEMENT : afin de reduire /e risque de b/essures, life/e mode d'emp/oi de/'outi/.

Avertissements de s6curit6 g6n6raux pour les outils
61ectriques

_ AVERTISSEMENT! Life toutes les directives et toutes les consignes de s_curit_.

Tout manquement aux directives et consignes pose des risques de chocs dectriques,
d'incendie et/ou de blessures graves.

CONSERVER TOUS LES AVERTISSEMENTS ET TOUTES LES

DIRECTIVES POUR UN USAGE ULTERIEUR

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

1) S#CURIT# DU LIEU DE TRAVAIL

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

propices aux accidents.

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

presence de liquides, de gaz ou de poussi_res inflammables. Les out//s dectr/ques
produisent des etincel/es qui pourraient enflammer lapoussiere ou les vapeurs.

c) E-Ioigner les enfants et les personnes a proximit_ pendant I'utilisation d'un outil

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

2) SI_CURITI_ EN MATI#RE D'I_LECTRICITI_

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

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

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

b) E-viter tout contact physique avec des surfaces mises a la terre comme des tuyaux,

des radiateurs, des cuisini_res et des r_frig_rateurs. Le risque de choc e/ectrique est
plus deve si votre corps est mis a la terre.

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

dans un outil dectrique augmente le risque de choc dectrique.

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

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

endommages ou enchev_tres augmentent les risques de choc dectrique.

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

cette application. L'utilisation d'une rallonge conque pour I'exterieur reduira les risques de

choc dectrique.

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

risques de choc dectrique.

3) SI_CURITI_ PERSoNNELLE

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

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

en utilisant un outil dectrique peut entra_ner des blessures corporel/es graves.

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

oculaire. L'utilisation d'equipements de protection comme un masque antipoussiere, des
chaussures antiderapantes, un casque de securite ou des protecteurs auditifs Iorsque la
situation le requiert reduira les risques de blessures corporelles.

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

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

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

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

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

mieux ma_triser I'outil dectrique dans les situations imprevues.

t) S'habiller de mani_re appropri_e. Ne pas porter de v_tements amples ni de bijoux.

Garder les cheveux, les v_tements et les gants a I'_cart des pi_ces mobiles. Les
v_tements amples, les bijoux ou les cheveux longs risquent de rester coinces dans les pieces
mobiles.

g) Si des composants sent fournis pour le raccordement de dispositifs de d_poussi_rage

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

4} UTILIsATION ET ENTRETIEN D'UN OUTIL #LECTRIQUE

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

L'outil dectrique approprie effectuera un meilleur travail, de faqon plus sore eta la vitesse pour
laquelle il a ete conqu.

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

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

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

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

d) Ranger les outils _lectriques hers de la port_e des enfants et ne permettre a aucune

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

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

coinc_es, si des pi_ces sent bris_es ou pr_sentent toute autre condition susceptible
de nuire au ben fonctionnement de I'outil _lectrique. En cas de dommage, faire
r_parer I'outil _lectrique avant toute nouvelle utilisation. Beaucoup d'accidents sont

causes par des outils dectriques mal entretenus.

t) S'assurer que les outils de coupe sent aiguis_s et propres. Les outils de coupe bien

entretenus et affOtes sont moins susceptibles de se coincer et sont plus faci/es a ma_triser.

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

pr_sentes directives en tenant compte des conditions de travail et du travail
effectuer. L'utilisation d'un outil dectrique pour toute operation autre que cel/e pour laquelle
ila ete conquest dangereuse.

5) UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DU BLOC-PILES

a) Ne recharger I'outil qu'au moyen du chargeur pr_cis_ par le fabricant. L'ut///sat/on

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

b) Utiliser les outils _lectriques uniquement avec les blocs-piles conqus a 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 utilis_, le tenir _loign_ des objets m_talliques,

notamment des trombones, de la monnaie, des cl_s, des clous, des vis ou autres
petits objets m_talliques qui peuvent _tablir une connexion entre les deux bornes.
Le court-circuit des bomes du bloc-piles risque de provoquer des brOlures ou un incendie.

d) En cas d'utilisation abusive, le liquide peut gicler hers du bloc-piles; _viter tout

contact avec ce liquide. Si un contact accidentel se produit, laver a grande eau. Si
le liquide entre en contact avec les yeux, obtenir _galement des soins m_dicaux. Le
Iiquide qui gicle hors du bloc-piles peut provoquer des irritations ou des brOlures.

6) RI_PARATION

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

pi_ces de rechange identiques. Cela permettra de maintenir une utilisation securitaire de

I'outil dectrique.

Avertissements de s6curit6 relatifs au marteau

perforateur/perceuse/visseuse

• Porter une protection auditive lots du perqage a percussion. Le bruit enemanant pourrait
occasionner une perte de I'acuite auditive.

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

• Tenir I'outil par les surfaces isol_es pr_vues a cet effet pendant toute utilisation o_
I'organe de coupe pourrait entrer en contact avec des ills _lectriques caches. Tout
contact de I'organe de coupe avec un fil sous tension mettra les parties metalliques exposees
de I'outil sous tension et dectrocutera I'utilisateur

• Utiliser des brides de fixation ou tout autre dispositif de fixation pratique permettant
de soutenir et de retenir la piece sur une plate-forme stable. Tenir/apiece avec /a main
ou contre le corps rend la piece instable et risque de provoquer une perte de ma_trisede I'outil.

• Porter des lunettes de s_curit_ ou une autre protection oculaire. Le martelage et la
perforation peuvent projeter des fragments. Les particules projetees peuvent endommager les
yeux irreversiblement.

• Les accessoires et I'outil peuvent devenir br_lants au toucher pendant I'utilisation.
Porter des gants pendant leur utilisation pour effectuer des travaux produisant beaucoup de
chaleur comme la perforation a percussion et le perqage des metaux.

• Ne pas utiliser cet outil pendant des p_riodes de temps prolong_es. Les vibrations
causees par la percussion peuvent poser des risques pour les mains ou les bras. Porter des
gants pour amortir les vibrations, et pour limiter les risques, faire des pauses frequentes.

• Prendre des precautions a proximit_ des _vents car ils cachent des pi_ces mobiles.

V_tements amples, bijoux ou cheveux longs risquent de rester coinces dans ces pieces mobiles.

_,AVERTISSEMENT : TOUJOURS porter des lunettes de securite. Les lunettes ordinaires ne
constituent PAS des lunettes de securite. Utiliser egalement un masque protecteur ou antipoussiere
si I'operation de coupe genere de la poussiere. TOUJOURS PORTER UN EQUIPEMENT DE

SECURITE HOMOLOGUE :

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

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

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

_4VERTISSEMENT : les scies, meules, ponceuses, perceuses ou autres outils de construction
peuvent produire des poussieres contenant des produits chimiques reconnus par I'Etat califomien
pour causer cancers, malformations congenitales ou _tre nocifs au systeme reproducteur. Parmi
ces produits chimiques, on retrouve :

• Le plomb dans les peintures a base de plomb;

• La silice cristallisee dans les briques et le ciment, ou autres produits de maqonnerie; et

• L'arsenic et le chrome dans le bois ayant subi un traitement chimique.
Les risques relies a I'exposition aces poussieres varient selon la frequence a laquelle I'utilisateur
travaille avec ce type de materiau. Pour reduire I'exposition a ces produits chimiques : travailler
dans un endroit bien ventile et porter un equipement de securite approuve, comme un masque
antipoussiere conqu specialement pour filtrer les particules microscopiques.

• Eviter le contact prolong_ avec les poussi_res produites par les activit_s de ponqage,

sciage, meulage, perqage et autres activit_s de construction. Porter des v_tements
de protection et laver les parties du corps expos_es avec une solution d'eau et de
savon. Le far de laisserla poussiere penetrer clans la bouche et les yeux ou de lalaisser reposer

sur la peau peut promouvoir I'absorption de produits chimiques nocifs.
,_AVERTISSEMENT : I'utilisation de cet outil peut produire et/ou disperser des poussieres
pouvant causer desproblemes respiratoires graves et permanents ou d'autres problemes de sante.

Toujours porter un appareil respiratoire approuve par la NIOSH/OSHA pour se proteger de la

poussiere. Diriger lesparticules loin du visage et du corps.

_AVERTISSEMENT : toujours porter une protection auditive appropri_e conform_ment

la norme ANSI $12.6 ($3.19) lots de I'utilisation du produit. Dans certaines conditions et

selon la duree d'utilisation, le bruit emis par ce produit peut contribuer a une perte auditive.
_ATTENTION : Iorsque I'outil n'est pas utilis_, le placer sur le c6t_, sur une surface

stable, de mani_re a ne faire tr_bucher ni tomber personne. Certa/ns out/Is presentant un
gros bloc-piles reposeront sur ce demier, a la verticale, mais risquent d'etre faci/ement renverses.

Consignes de sOcurit6 importantes propres _ tous les

blocs-piles

Pour commander un bloc-piles de rechange, s'assurer d'inclure son numero de catalogue et sa
tension. Consulter le tableau en derniere page de ce manuel pour connaTtreles compatibilites entre
chargeurs et blocs-piles.

Le bloc-piles n'est pas totalement charge d'usine. Avant d'utiliser le bloc-piles et le chargeur, lire

les consignes de securite ci-dessous. Puis suivre la procedure de charge indiquee.

LIRE TOUTES LES CONSIGNES

• Ne pas recharger ou utiliser un bloc-piles en milieu d_flagrant, en presence, par
exemple, de poussi_res, gaz ou liquides inflammables. Le far d'/nserer ou ret/rer un bloc-

piles de son chargeur pourrait causer I'inflammation de poussieres ou d'emanations.

• NE JAMAIS forcer I'insertion d'un bloc-piles dans un chargeur. NE modifier un bloc-

piles d'AUCUNE faqon pour le faire rentrer dans un chargeur incompatible, car il
pourrait se briser et causer des dommages corporels graves. Consulter le tableau en

derniere page de ce manuel pour conna_treles compatibilites entre chargeurs et blocs-piles.

• Recharger les blocs-piles exclusivement clans des chargeurs DEWALT.

• NE PAS eclabousser le bloc-piles ou I'immerger dans I'eau ou dans tout autre liquide.

• Ne pas entreposer ou utiliser I'appareil et le bloc-piles en presence de temperatures
ambiantes pouvant exc_der 40 °C (105 °F) (comme clans des hangars ou des b&timents
m_talliques I'_t_). Pour preserver/eur duree de vie,entreposer /es blocs-piles dans un endroit
frais et sec.

REMARQUE : ne pas mettre un bloc-piles dans un outil dont la g_chette est verrouill_e
en position de marche. Ne jamais bloquer I'interrupteur en position de MARCHE.

_AVERTISsEMENT : risques d'incendie. Ne jamais tenter d'ouvrir le bloc-piles pour quelque
raison que ce soit. Si le bo_tier du bloc-piles est fissure ou endommage, ne pas I'inserer dans
un chargeur. Ne pas ecraser, laisser tomber, ou endommager les blocs-piles. Ne pas utiliser un
bloc-piles ou un chargeur qui a requ un choc violent, ou si I'apparei/ est tombe, a ete ecrase ou
endommage de quelque faqon que ce soit (p. ex. perce par un clou, frappe d'un coup de marteau,
pietine). Les blocs-piles endommages doivent _tre renvoyes a un centre de reparation pour y _tre
recycles.

_4VERTISsEMENT : risques d'incendie. Au moment de ranger ou transporter le bloc-
piles, s'assurer qu'aucun objet m_tallique n'entre en contact avec /es bornes a d_couvert
du bloc-piles. Par exemple, eviter de placer un bloc-piles dans un tablier, une poche, une bo_te

outils ou un tiroir, etc. contenant des objets tels que des clous, des vis, des cles, etc. Le fait
de transporter des bloc-piles comporte des risques d'incendie, car les bornes des piles
pourraient entrer, par inadvertance, en contact avec des objets conducteurs, tels que :
cl_s, pi_ces de monnaie, outils ou autres. La reg/ementat/on sur /es produ/ts dangereux

(Hazardous Material Regulations) du departement americain des transports interdit, en fait, le
transport des piles pour le commerce ou dans les avions (ex: dans les bagages enregistres ou
main) A MOINS qu'el/es ne soient correctement protegees contre tout court-circuit. Aussi lots du
transport individuel de blocs-piles, s'assurer que leurs bomes sont bien protegees et isolees de tout
materiau pouvant entrer en contact avec elles et provoquer un court-circuit.

CONSIGNES DE S#CURIT# PROPRES AUX PILES AU LITHIUM-ION (Li-lon)

• Nepas incin_rerle bloc-piles m_me s'ilests_v_rementendommag_ ou compl_tement
usage, car i/pourrait exp/oser et causer un incendie. Pendant I'incineration des blocs-piles au

lithium-ion, des vapeurs et matieres toxiques sont degagees.

• En cas de contact du liquide de la pile avec la peau, rincer imm_diatement au savon
doux eta I'eau. En cas de contact oculaire, rincer I'ceil ouvert a I'eau claire une quinzaine de
minutes oujusqu'a ce que I'irritation cesse. Si des soins medicaux s'averaient necessaires, noter
que I'dectrolyte de la pile est compose d'un mdange de carbonates organiques liquides et de
sels de lithium.

• Le contenu des cellules d'une pile ouverte peut causer une irritation respiratoire.
En cas d'inhalation, exposer I'individu a I'air libre. Si les sympt_mes persistent, consulter un
medecin.

_AVERTIssEMENT : risques de brOlure. Le liquide de la pile peut s'enflammer s'il est expose

des etincel/es ou a une flamme.

Le sceau SRPRC Mc

Le sceau SRPRCMc (Societe de recyclage des piles rechargeables au Canada)

appose sur une pile au nickel-cadmium, a. hydrure metallique de nickel ou au

lithium-ion (ou un bloc-piles) indique que les co_ts de recyclage de ces derniers en

fin d'utilisation ont dejb. ete regles par DEWALT. Dans certaines regions, la mise au

rebut ou aux ordures municipales des piles au nickel-cadmium, a. I'hydrure metallique
de nickel ou au lithium-ion, est illegale ; le programme de SRPRC constitue donc une

solution pratique et ecologique.

La SRPRCMc,en collaboration avec DEWALT et d'autres utilisateurs de piles, a mis sur pied des
programmes aux Fttats-Unis et au Canada pour faciliter la collecte des piles au nickel-cadmium,
