General Power Tool Safety Warnings

_ WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in

electric shock, fire and/or serious injury,

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated

(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas

invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,

such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or

fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tooL Distractions can cause you to lose control

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify

the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and

matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces

such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or

grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.

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

pulling or unplugging the power tool Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or

entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension

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

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

use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected
supply. Use of a GFC/ reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common

sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,

alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye

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

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in

the off position before connecting to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying

power tools with your finger on the switch or 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

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool

for your application. The correct power tool will do the job

better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it

on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the

battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power

tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and

do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools

are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding

of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tool,_.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control

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

accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery

pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.

b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery

packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep H 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.

Additional Specific Safety Rules

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the fastener may contact
hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make

exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.

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

• Bits, sockets and tools get hot during operation. Weargloves
when touching them.

• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration
caused by tool action may be harmful to your hands and arms.

Use gloves to provide extra cushion and limit exposure by taking
frequent rest periods.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are

NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIEDSAFETY EQUIPMENT:

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

• ANSI $12.6 ($3.19) hearing protection,

• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
A WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known

to the State of California 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.
Yourrisk 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 disperse 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 $12.6 ($3.19) 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.

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

(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 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
lithMm ion battery packs are burned.

• If battery contents come into contact with the skin,

immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If battery

liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15
minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed,
the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of liquid organic

carbonates and lithium salts.

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

_, WARNING: Bum hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if

Cat # Ft.-Lbs. In.-Lbs. Nm

DCF813 96 1150 130
DCF815 79 950 107

i_,CAUTION: Ensure fastener and/or system will withstand the level of

torque generated by the tool. Excessive torque may cause breakage
and possible personal injury.

1. Place the socket on the fastener head. Keep the tool pointed
straight at the fastener.

FIG.7

11

2. Press switch to start operation. Always check torque with a
torque wrench, as the fastening torque isaffected by many factors

including the following:

• VoItage: Low voltage, due to a nearly discharged battery, will

reduce fastening torque.

• Socket size: Failure to use the correct socket size will cause a
reduction in fastening torque.

• Bolt Size: Larger bolt diameters generally require higher

fastening torque. Fastening torque will also vary according to

length, grade, and torque coefficient.

• Bolt."Ensure that all threads are free of rust and other debris to
allow proper fastening torque.

• Material." The type of material and surface finish of the material

will affect fastening torque.

• Fastening Time: Longer fastening time results in increased

fastening torque. Using a longer fastening time than recom-

mended could cause the fasteners to be overstressed, stripped

or damaged.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,

place the forward/reverse button in the lock-off position or
turn tool off and disconnect battery pack before making any

adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.

Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air
