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, fi re 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 fl ammable 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. Unmodifi ed 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.

English

f) 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

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 infl uence 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, non­skid 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 fi nger 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 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 specifi ed by the

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

English

2

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

b) Use power tools only with specifi cally designated battery

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

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 fi re.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from

the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
fl ush 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 qualifi ed repair

person using only identical replacement parts. This will

ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Additional Safety Rules for Grease Guns

• Parts of the tool or the hose assembly can break or rupture
due to high pressure. Risk of serious injury may occur. Before

using, always inspect the tool and hose assembly for damage or
wear. Never use if any part of the tool is damaged or worn.

• Use only D

EWALT-approved fl exible hoses. Hold the hose only

by the fl exible hose safety spring guard to avoid personal serious
injury.

• If the hose kinks or is damaged, a rupture may occur which
could cause serious injury. Replace the hose at the fi rst sign of
wear, kink or damage.

• Only use the grease recommended in this manual. Refer to
the Technical Information chart under Using the Grease Gun.

• To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, do not use

the grease gun around or on moving parts, mechanisms or
running equipment.

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

WARNING: Risk of injection or severe injury. Rupture of
components can inject grease into skin or eyes, causing
serious injury or infection. Do not treat as a simple cut. Seek
immediate medical attention.

WARNING: Output can be at high pressure. Do not direct

discharge at yourself or others.

WARNING: The grease gun may generate high pressure—up
to 9,000 psi (620 bar). Always wear gloves during operation.

Keep hands clear of the exposed rubber portion of the hose.

WARNING: Risk of fi re. Grease may be fl ammable. Do not
expose to fi re or high temperatures. Read and follow all warnings and
instructions from the lubricant manufacturer.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are
NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:

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

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

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,

English

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do
this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work
in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially designed to fi lter 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 S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some

conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute
to hearing loss.

CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable

surface where it will not cause a tripping or falling hazard.

Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright on the battery
pack but may be easily knocked over.

battery so that metal objects can contact exposed
battery terminals. For example, do not place battery in aprons,

pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose
nails, screws, keys, etc. without battery cap. Transporting batteries

can possibly cause fi res if the battery terminals inadvertently
come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins,
hand tools and the like. The U.S. Department of Transportation

Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting
batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e., packed in suitcases and
carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short
circuits. So when transporting individual batteries, make sure that the

battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that
could contact them and cause a short circuit.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR NICKEL CADMIUM
(NiCd) OR NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE (NiMH)

• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely
damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can

explode in a fi re.

• 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, fl ush them with clean

water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate medical
attention. (Medical note: The liquid is 25–35% solution of
potassium hydroxide.)

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM ION (Li-Ion)

• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely
damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can

explode in a fi re. Toxic fumes and materials are created when
lithium ion battery packs are burned.
