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) ff operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault

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

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

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

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

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

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

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

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

the switch on invites accidents.

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

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

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

control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

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

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

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

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

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

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

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

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

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

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

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

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons

unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage

of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

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

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control

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

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

result in a hazardous situation.

5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is

suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

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

battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper

clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may

cause burns or a fire.

injury,

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

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

6) SERVICE

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

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

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.

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

The RBRC TM Seal

The RBRC TM (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.

RBRC TM 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 and 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 instruc-

tions for battery chargers.

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

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

with conductive objects. Electric shock or electrocution may result.

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

result.

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

batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.

_ CAUTION: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to the power supply, the

exposed charging contacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign material Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity, Unplug charger before attempting to clean.

• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones in this manual The charger and batter y pack are specifically designed to work together.

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

• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.

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

damage to electric plug and cord.

• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution.

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

use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for

safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line

voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to

make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum

wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating, ff in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

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 INTHE 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. Ifthe 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, 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 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. i_ 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.

A 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.

2. Press switch to start operation. Always check torque with a torque wrench, as the fastening torque is affected by many factors including the following:

• Voltage: 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 recommended could cause the fasteners to be overstressed, stripped or damaged.

Le non-respect des avertissements et des directives pourrait se solder par un choc

_ AVERTISSEMENT! Lire tousles avertissements de securite et toutes les directives.

electrique, un incendie et/ou une blessure grave.

CONSERVER TOUS LES AVERTISSEMENTS ET TOUTES

LES DIRECTIVES POUR UN USAGE ULTERIEUR

Le terme , outil electrique _ cite dans les avertissements se rapporte a votre outil electrique 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 eclairee. Les lieux encombres ou sombres sont

propices aux accidents.

b) Ne pas faire fonctionner d'outils electriques clans un milieu deflagrant, tel qu'en

presence de liquides, de gaz ou de poussieres inflammables. Les outils electriques produisent des etincelles qui pourraient enflammer la poussiere ou les vapeurs.

c) E:loigner les enfants et les personnes a proximite pendant I'utilisation d'un outil

electrique. Une distraction pourrait en faire perdre la maftrise a I'utilisateur.

2) SI_CURITI_ EN MATIERE D'I_LECTRICITI_

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

modifier la fiche d'aucune fa_on. Ne jamais utiliser de fiche d'adaptation avec un outil electrique misa la terre. Le risque de choc electrique 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 cuisinieres et des refrigerateurs. Le risque de choc electrique est plus eleve si votre corps est misa la terre.

c) Ne pas exposer les outils electriques a la pluie ou a I'humidite. La penetration de

I'eau dans un outil electrique augmente le risque de choc electrique.

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

transporter, tirer ou debrancher un outil electrique. Tenir le cordon eloigne de la chaleur, de I'huile, des bords tranchants et des pieces mobiles. Les cordons endommages ou enchev6tres augmentent les risques de choc electrique.

e) Pour I'utilisation d'un outil electrique a I'exterieur, se servir d'une railonge

convenant a cette application. L'utilisation d'une rallonge con_ue pour I'exterieur reduira les risques de choc electrique.

f) S'il est impossible d'eviter I'utilisation d'un outil electrique clans un endroit

humide, brancher I'outil clans une prise ou sur un circuit d'alimentation dotes d'un disjoncteur de fuite a la terre (GFCl). L'utilisation de ce type de disjoncteur reduit les risques de choc electrique.

3) S#CURIT# PERSoNNELLE

a) F=trevigilant, surveiller le travail effectue et faire preuve de jugement Iorsqu'un outil

electrique est utilise. Ne pas utiliser d'outil electrique en cas de fatigue ou sous I'influence de drogues, d'alcool ou de medicaments. Un simple moment d'inattention en utilisant un outil electrique peut entrafner des blessures corporelles graves.

b) Utiliser des equipements de protection individueile. 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) Emp6cher les demarrages intempestifs. S'assurer que I'interrupteur se trouve a la

position d'arr6t avant de relier I'outil a une source d'alimentation et/ou d'inserer 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 electrique dont I'interrupteur est

la position de marche risque de provoquer un accident.

d) Retirer toute cle de reglage ou cle avant de demarrer I'outil. Une cle ou une cle de

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

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

mieux mMtriser I'outil electrique dans les situations imprevues.

f) S'habiller de maniere appropriee. Ne pas porter de v6tements amples ni de bijoux.

Carder les cheveux, les v6tements et les gants a I'ecart des pieces mobiles. Les

v6tements amples, les bijoux ou les cheveux longs risquent de rester coinces dans les pieces mobiles.

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

depoussierage et de ramassage, s'assurer que ceux-ci sont bien raccordes et

utilises. L'utilisation 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 electrique. Utiliser I'outil electrique approprie a I'application.

L'outil electrique approprie effectuera un meilleur travail, de fa_on plus s_re eta la vitesse pour laquelle il a ete con_u.

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

electrique dont I'interrupteur est defectueux est dangereux et dolt 6tre repare.

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

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

d) Ranger les outils electriques hors de la portee des enfants et ne permettre

aucune personne n'etant pas familiere avec un outil electrique ou son mode

d'empIoi d'utiliser cet outil. Les outils electriques deviennent dangereux entre les mains d'utilisateurs inexperimentes.

e) Entretien des outils electriques. Wrifier siles pieces mobiles sont mal alignees ou

coincees, si des pieces sont brisees ou presentent toute autre condition susceptible de nuire au bon fonctionnement de I'outil electrique. En cas de dommage, faire reparer I'outil electrique avant toute nouveile utilisation. Beaucoup d'accidents sont causes par des outils electriques mal entretenus.

f) S'assurer que les outils de coupe sont aiguises et propres. Les outils de coupe

bien entretenus et aff_tes sont moins susceptibles de se coincer et sont plus faciles maftris er.

g) Utiliser I'outil electrique, les accessoires, les forets, etc. conformement aux

presenter directives en tenant compte des conditions de travail et du travail effectuer. L'utilisation d'un outil electrique pour toute operation autre que celle pour laquelle il a ete congu est dangereuse.

5) UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DU BLOC-PILES

a) 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 utilise avec un autre type de b Ioc-piles.

b) 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.

c) 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 ou autres

petits objets metalliques qui peuvent etablir une connexion entre les deux bornes. Le court-circuit des bornes du bloc-piles risque de provoquer des br_lures ou un

incendie.

d) En cas d'utilisation abusive, le liquide peut gicler hors du bloc-piles; eviter 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 egalement des soins medicaux. Le

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

6) R#PARATION

a) Faire reparer I'outil electrique par un reparateur professionnel en n'utilisant que des

pieces de rechange identiques. Ce/a permettra de maintenir une uti/isation securitaire de I'outil electrique.

R_gles de s_curit_ particuli_res

• Tenir I'outil par les surfaces isolees prevues a cet effet pendant toute utilisation ob I'attache pourrait entrer en contact avec des ills electriques caches. Tout contact par

ces attaches avec un fil sous tension mettra les parties metalliques exposees de I'outil sous tension et electrocutera I'utilisateur.

• 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 piece avec la main ou contre son corps est instable et risque de provoquer une perte de maftrise de IbutiL

• Toujours porter des lunettes de protection ou toute autre protection oculaire. Lots du martelage ou du pergage, des debris sont rejetes dans I'air. Ces derniers peuvent causer des dommages oculaires permanent.

• Meches, douilles ou outils peuvent chauffer pendant leur utilisation. Toujours porter des gants avant de les manipuler.

• Ne pas utiliser cet outil pendant des periodes prolongees. Les vibrations causees par I'outil 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.

_AVERTISSEMENT : TOUJOURS porter des lunettes de securite. Les lunettes de vue ne constituent PAR des lunettes de securite. Utiliser egalement un masque facial ou anti-

poussiere si I'operation de decoupe genere de la poussiere. TOUJOURS UTILISER DE L'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 voles respiratoires conformes aux normes NIOSH/OSHA.

_AVERTISSEMENT : Certaines poussieres creees par le pon_age, le sciage, le meulage et le forage mecaniques ainsi que d'autres activites de construction contiennent des produits chimiques reconnus pour causer le cancer, des anomalies congenitales ou d'autres anomalies liees a la reproduction. Parmi ces produits chimiques, citons notamment :

• le plomb provenant des peintures au plomb ;

• la silice cristalline provenant des briques, du beton et d'autres materiaux de

ma_onnerie ;

• I'arsenic et le chrome provenant du bois traite (arseniate de cuivre et de chrome).

Le risque associe aces expositions varie selon la frequence de ces types de travaux. Pour reduire I'exposition aux produits chimiques : travailler dans un local bien ventile et utiliser du materiel de securite approuve, comme les masques antipoussieres specialement con_us pour filtrer les particules microscopiques.

• E:viter le contact prolonge avec la poussiere provenant du pon_age, du sciage, du meulage et du forage mecanique ainsi que d'autres activites de construction. Porter des v6tements de protection et laver les parties exposees au Rayon et a I'eau. La poussiere qui pourrait penetrer dans la bouche et les yeux ou se deposer sur la peau peut favoriser I'absorption de produits chimiques nocifs.

,&AVERTISSEMENT : Cet outil peut produire et repandre de la poussiere susceptible de causer des dommages serieux et permanents au systeme respiratoire. Toujours utiliser un appareil respiratoire anti-poussieres approuve par le NIOSH ou I'OSHA. Diriger les particules dans le sens oppose du visage et du corps.

_AVERTISSEMENT : TOUJOURS porter une protection auditive appropriee conformement

la norme ANSI $12.6 ($3.19) Iors 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.

J_ATTENTION : Apres utilisation, ranger I'outil sur son c6te sur une surface stable I_ ob il ne pourra faire ni trebucher ni tomber personne. Certains outils equipes d'un large bloc-

pile peuvent tenir a la verticale sur ce dernier mais ils sont alors facilement destabilises.

Directives de sdcuritd importantes pour tous les blocs-piles

Pour la commande d'un bloc-piles de rechange, s'assurer d'inclure le num6ro de catalogue et la tension. Consulter le tableau figurant & la fin du pr6sent mode d'emploi pour connaftre la compatibilit6 des chargeurs et des blocs-piles. Le bloc-piles n'est pas compl_tement charg6 & la sortie de I'emballage. Avant d'utiliser le bloc- piles et le chargeur, lire les directives de s6curit6 ci-apr_s. Respecter ensuite les consignes de chargement d6crites.

LIRE TOUTES LES DIRECTIVES

• Ne pas charger ou utiliser un bloc-piles clans un milieu deflagrant, en presence de liquides, de gaz ou de poussiere inflammables. /nserer ou retirer un bloc-piles du

chargeur peut enflammer de la poussiere ou des emanations.

• NE JAMAIS forcer I'insertion d'un bloc-piles clans le chargeur. Ne pas modifier un bloc-piles de quelque fa_on que ce sol pour I'inserer clans un chargeur incompatible, car il risque de se rompre et de provoquer de graves blessures corporelles. Consulter le tableau figurant a la fin du present manuel pour connaftre la compatibilite des piles et des chargeurs.

• Charger les blocs-piles uniquement au moyen de chargeurs DEWALT.

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

• Ne pas ranger ni utiliser I'outil et le bloc-piles a un endroit ob la temperature peut

atteindre ou depasser les 40 °C (105 °F) (comme clans les remises exterieures ou les b&timents metalliques I'ete).

i_,DANGER : Risque d'electrocution. Ne jamais ouvrir le bloc-piles pour quelque raison que ce soit. Sile boftier du bloc-piles est fissure ou endommage, ne pas I'inserer dans un chargeur. Ne pas ecraser, faire tomber ou endommager le bloc-piles. Ne pas utiliser un bloc-piles ou un chargeur qui a re_u un choc violent, qui est tombe, a ete ecrase ou est endommage de quelque maniere que ce soit (p. ex. perce par un clou, frappe d'un coup de marteau, pietine). En effet, il y a risque de choc electrique ou d'electrocution. Les blocs-piles endommages doivent 6tre envoyes au centre de reparation pour 6tre recycles.

REMARQUE : un boftier sp6cial et des capuchons de s6curit6 sont fournis avec le bloc-piles pour utilisation chaque fois qu'on le retire de I'outil ou du chargeur pour le ranger ou le transporter. Enlever le capuchon avant de remettre le bloc-piles dans le chargeur ou I'outil.

_AVERTISsEMENT : Risque d'incendie. Ne pas ranger nine transporter les piles de

maniere a ce que des objets metalliques puissent entrer en contact avec les bornes exposees des piles. On ne dolt pas mettre, par exemple, le bloc-piles sans capuchon clans un tablier, une poche, une bo_te a outils, une bo_te de necessaire de produit, un tiroir, etc. avec des clous, des vis, des cles, etc. Le transport des piles peut causer un incendie si les bornes des piles entrent en contact involontairement avec des matieres conductrices comme des cles, de la monnaie, des outils manuels et d'autres elements semblables. La Hazardous Material Regulations (reglementation sur les produits dangereux) du departement

americain des transports interdit en fait le transport des blocs-piles pour le commerce et dans les avions (c.-a-d. dans des valises et les bagages a main) A MOINS qu'ils ne soient bien proteges

contre les courts-circuits. Pour le transport de piles individuelles, on dolt donc s'assurer que les bornes sont protegees et bien isolees contre toute matiere pouvant entrer en contact avec elles et provoquer un court-circuit.

DIRECTIVES DE S#CURIT# SP#ClFIQUES AUX PILES DE NICKEL-CADMIUM (NiCd) OU ,_,L'HYDRuRE M#TALLIQUE DE NICKEL (NiMH)

• Ne pas incinerer le bloc-piles, m6me s'il est tres endommage ou completement use,

car il pourrait exploser au contact de flammes.

• Une petite fuite de liquide peut se produire clans les ceilules du bloc-piles en cas d'utilisation extr6me ou de conditions de temperature. Cela n'indique pas de

defaillance.

Toutefois, sile joint d'etancheite exterieur est rompu :

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

eta I'eau pendant plusieurs minutes.

b. sile liquide du bloc-piles entre en contact avec les yeux, les rincer abondamment a I'eau

propre, pendant un minimum de 10 minutes, et consulter immediatement un medecin.

(Note medicale : le liquide est compose d'une solution comprenant de 25 % a 35 % d'hydroxyde de potassium).
