_ 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 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.
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.
• Bits, sockets and tools get hot during operation. Wear gloves when touching them.
• 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.

EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI $12.6 ($3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
/& WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction 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 (CCA).
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.

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 batterypack 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 ff 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, ff 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: 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 (orbattery 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

• 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 16gauge 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.

Avertissements de sdcuritd gdndraux pour les outils
dlectriques
_ AVERTISSEMENT! Lire tousles avertissements de securite et toutes les directives.
Le non-respect des avertissements et des directives pourrait se solder par un choc
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=tre vigilant, 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
ma ftriser.
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 ni ne 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).
