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 batteryoperated (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 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 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 dustrelated 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.

Nailer Safety Warnings

unexpected firing of fasteners and personal injury.

• Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone nearby. Unexpected triggering will

discharge a fastener causing an injury.

• Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly against the workpiece. If the tool

is not in contact with the workpiece, the fastener may be deflected away from your target.

• Disconnect the tool from the power source when the fastener jams in the tool. While

removing a jammed fastener, the tacker may be accidentally activated if it is plugged in.

English

• Use caution while removing a jammed fastener. The mechanism may be under

compression and the fastener may be forcefully discharged while attempting to free a jammed condition.

• Do not use this nailer for fastening electrical cables. It is not designed for

electric cable installation and may damage

English

the insulation of electric cables thereby causing electric shock or fire hazards.

Additional Nailer Safety Warnings

WARNING: When using any nailer, all safety

precautions, as outlined below, should be followed to avoid the risk of death or serious injury. Read and understand all instructions before operating the tool.

• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will make

exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

• Actuating tool may result in flying

debris, collation material, or dust which could harm operator’s eyes. Operator

and others in work area MUST wear safety glasses with side shields. These safety glasses must conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements (approved glasses have “Z87” printed or stamped on them. It is the employer’s responsibility to enforce the use of eye protection equipment by the tool operator and other people in the work area. (Fig. A)

• Always wear appropriate personal

hearing and other protection during use. Under some conditions and duration

of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss. (Fig. A)

• Disconnect battery pack from the

tool when not in use. Always remove battery pack and remove fasteners from magazine before leaving the area or passing the tool to another operator. Do not carry tool to another work area in which changing location involves the use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders, and the like, with battery pack connected. Do not make adjustments, perform maintenance or clear jammed fasteners while battery is in place.

• Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause the tool, trigger or trigger lock-off, to become inoperable.

FIG. G

Do not tape or tie trigger in the ON position. Do not remove spring from contact trip. Make daily inspections for free movement of trigger. Uncontrolled discharge could result.

• Inspect tool before use. Do not operate

a tool if any portion of the tool, trigger, or trigger lock-off is inoperable, disconnected, altered, or not working properly. Damaged parts or missing parts

should be repaired or replaced before use. Refer to Repairs.

• Do not alter or modify the tool in any

way.

• Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.

• Do not point the tool at co-workers or yourself at any time. No horseplay! Work safe! Respect the tool as a working implement. (Fig. B)

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors

away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control. When tool is not in use, it should be locked in a safe place, out of the reach of children.

• Always use trigger lock-off when tool is not in immediate use. Using the

trigger lock-off will prevent accidental discharge. (Fig.M)

• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Loss of balance may cause personal injury. (Fig.C)

• Use the tool only for its intended use.

Do not discharge fasteners into open air, concrete, stone, extremely hard woods, knots or any material too hard for the fastener to penetrate. Do

not use the body of the tool or top cap as a hammer. Discharged fastener may follow unexpected path and cause injury. (Figs.D, F)

• Always keep fingers clear of contact trip to prevent injury from inadvertent release of the pusher (Fig. H)

• Refer to the Maintenance and Repairs sections for detailed information on the proper maintenance of the tool.

• Always operate the tool in a clean, lighted area. Be sure the work surface

is clear of any debris and be careful not to lose footing when working in elevated environments such as rooftops.

causing the nail to ricochet, injuring you or a co-worker. Be aware that the fastener may follow the grain of the wood (shiner), causing it to protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work material. Drive the chisel point of the fastener perpendicular to the grain to reduce risk of injury. (Figs. E, F)

• Do not drive nails onto the heads of

other fasteners or with the tool at too steep an angle. Personal injury from

strong recoil jammed nails, or ricocheted nails may result. (Fig. G)

• Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work area. Hold workpiece with clamps when necessary to keep hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure the workpiece is properly secured before pressing the nailer against the material. The contact trip may cause the work material to shift unexpectedly. (Fig. H)

• Do not use tool in the presence of flammable dust, gases or fumes. The tool may produce a spark that could ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a nail into another nail may also cause a spark. (Fig. I)

• Keep face and body parts away from

back of the tool cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil can result

in impact to the body, especially when nailing into hard or dense material. (Fig. J)

• Grip tool firmly to maintain control

while allowing tool to recoil away from work surface as fastener is driven. In

Bump mode if contact trip is allowed to recontact work surface before trigger is released an unwanted fastener will be fired.

• Choice of triggering method is important. Check the manual for triggering

options.

BUMP/SEQUENTIAL SELECTOR SWITCH

Sequential Action

(Fig. K)

• When using the tool in sequential

action, do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly against the workpiece.

Bump Action

(Fig. L)

• When using the tool in bump action, be careful of unin tentional double fires resulting from tool recoil. Unwanted

fasteners may be driven if the contact trip is allowed to accidentally re-contact the work surface.

TO AVOID DOUBLE FIRES:

• Do not engage the tool against the work surface with a strong force.

• Allow the tool to recoil fully after each actuation.

• Use sequential action trigger.

• When bump actuating the framing nailer, always keep tool in control. Inaccurate

placement of tool can result in misdirected discharge of a nail.

• Be aware of material thickness when using nailer. A protruding nail may cause injury.

• DEPTH ADJUSTMENT: To reduce risk of serious injury from accidental actuation when

attempting to adjust depth, ALWAYS;

• Remove battery pack.

• Engage trigger lock-off (Fig. M).

• Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments

• Do not drive nails blindly into walls, floors or other work areas. Fasteners driven into live

electrical wires, plumbing, or other types of obstructions can result in injury. (Fig. N)

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

tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

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.

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.z

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse 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.

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 D 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.

PROBLEM POWERLINE

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 BATTERY PACKS: Weak batteries will continue to function but should not be expected to

perform as much work. FAULTY BATTERY 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. PROBLEM POWER LINE

Some chargers have a Problem Powerline 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.

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.

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

result.

WARNING: Burn 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.

Mode Selection

WARNING: Always wear proper eye [ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3)] and ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)

hearing protection when operating tool.

The D

EWALT cordless nailers are assembled in accordance with the ANSI Standard SNT-101-2002.

The framing nailer is capable of firing nails using bump actuation or sequential actuation. If you would like to have the bump actuation mode disabled, have the tool serviced by an authorized D service center. Before operating this tool, look at the selector switch to determine the actuation mode. Read all instructions before selecting actuation mode.

WARNING: Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving nails to avoid accidental firing.

NEVER carry tool with finger on trigger. In bump mode tool will fire a nail if contact trip is bumped

while trigger is depressed.

SEQUENTIAL ACTION

Use sequential action for intermittent nailing where very careful and accurate placement and depth control is desired. The sequential actuation mode provides the maximum delivery of power for driving the longest nails.

To operate the nailer in sequential action mode:

1. Slide the selector switch to the left, as shown in Figure5.

2. Fully depress nosepiece against the work surface (motor will start).

3. Pull trigger (nail will drive into work surface).

4. Release trigger.

5. Lift nosepiece off work surface.

6. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for next application.

(FIG. 5)

FIG. 5

EWALT

NOTICE: The contact trip needs to be depressed followed by a trigger pull for each nail followed by a release of both the contact trip and trigger after each nail.

BUMP ACTION Bump action is intended for rapid nailing on flat, stationary surfaces and typically

(FIG. 6)

FIG. 6

most effective for applications that require driving shorter nails. When using bump action, two methods are available: place actuation and

bump actuation. Slide the selector switch to the right, as shown in Figure 6.

To operate the tool using the PLACE ACTUATION method:

WARNING: A nail will fire each time the trigger is depressed as long as the

contact trip remains depressed.

1. Depress the contact trip against the work surface.

2. Depress the trigger.

To operate the tool using the BUMP ACTUATION method:

1. Depress the trigger.

2. Push the contact trip against the work surface. As long as the trigger is depressed, the tool will fire a nail every time the contact trip is depressed. This allows the user to drive multiple nails in sequence.

WARNING: Do not keep trigger depressed when tool is not in use. Keep the trigger lock-off in the

locked position when the tool is not in use.

WARNING: When the tool’s motor is running, the next actuation, pulling the trigger or depressing

the contact trip, will cause a nail to fire.

DRY FIRE LOCK OUT

The nailer is equipped with a dry fire lockout which prevents the tool from actuating when the magazine in nearly empty. When approximately 7 to 9 nails remain in the magazine, the tool ceases to operate. Refer to Loading the Tool to reload a stick of collated nails.

Speed Selection (Fig. 1, 7)

(DCN692 ONLY)

This nailer is equipped with a dual speed selection switch (M) located on the foot.

• For shorter nails, select speed 1 by setting the switch to the left most position.

• For longer nails and more rigorous applications, select speed 2 by setting the switch to the right most position.

In the event that nails are not driving to depth in speed setting 1, you may have to switch to speed setting 2 for additional driving power.

NOTICE: Firing nails under 3-inches in length using Speed Setting 2 will cause excessive wear to your tool and may result in early failures.
