General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a 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.

Drill/Driver/Hammerdrill Safety Warnings

· Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

· Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

· Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory 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.

· Accessories and tool may get hot during operation. Wear gloves when handling them if performing heat producing applications such as hammerdrilling and drilling metals.

· Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration caused by hammer action may be harmful to your hands and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion and limit exposure by taking frequent rest periods.

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

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,

· 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.

· 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.

For best life store battery packs in a cool, dry location. NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with the trigger switch locked on. Never tape the trigger switch in the ON position. WARNING: Fire hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into the charger. Do not crush, drop or damage the battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery packs should be returned to the service center for recycling. WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the battery pack so that metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (e.g., packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual battery packs, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM ION (Li-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 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. If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts. · Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark or flame.
The RBRCTM Seal
The RBRCTM (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. RBRCTM, 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, 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. RBRCTM is a registered trademark of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation.
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 DEWALT rechargeable 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.

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.
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.

Drilling (Fig. 7)
NOTICE: If drilling thin material, use a wood “back-up” block to prevent damage to the material. 1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the gear shifter to match the speed and torque to the planned operation. Turn the collar (C) to the drill symbol. 2. Use sharp drill bits only. For MASONRY, such as brick, cement, cinder block, etc., use carbidetipped bits rated for percussion drilling. 3. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep drill biting, but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit. 4. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting action of the drill. If model is not equipped with side handle, grip drill with one hand on the handle and one hand on the battery pack. WARNING: Drill may stall if overloaded causing a sudden twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the
drill firmly to control the twisting action and avoid injury. 5. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being overloaded or improperly used. RELEASE TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY, remove drill bit from work, and determine cause of stalling. DO NOT DEPRESS TRIGGER ON AND OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED DRILL — THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL. 6. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last fractional part of the hole. 7. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled hole. This will help prevent jamming.
Screwdriving (Fig. 8)
1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the gear shifter to match the speed and torque to the planned operation.
2. Turn the torque adjustment collar (C) to the desired position. NOTE: Use the lowest torque setting required to seat the fastener at the desired depth. The lower the number, the lower the torque output.
3. Insert the desired fastener accessory into the chuck as you would any drill bit. 4. Make some practice runs in scrap or on unseen areas of the workpiece to determine the proper
position of the torque adjustment collar. 5. Always start with lower torque settings, then advance to higher torque settings to avoid
damage to the workpiece or fastener.
Hammerdrilling (Fig. 9)
1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the gear shifter to match the speed and torque to the planned operation. Turn the collar (C) to the hammerdrill symbol. IMPORTANT: Use carbide-tipped or masonry bits rated for percussion drilling only.
2. Drill with just enough force on the hammer to keep it from bouncing excessively or “rising” off the bit. Too much force will cause slower drilling speeds, overheating, and a lower drilling rate.
3. Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to the work. Do not exert side pressure on the bit when drillling as this will cause clogging of the bit flutes and a slower drilling speed.
4. When drilling deep holes, if the hammer speed starts to drop off, pull the bit partially out of the hole with tool still running to help clear debris from the hole.
NOTE: A smooth, even flow of dust from the hole indicates proper drilling rate.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.

Avertissements de sécurité généraux pour les outils électriques
AVERTISSEMENT! Lire toutes les directives et toutes les consignes de sécurité. Tout manquement aux directives et consignes pose des risques de chocs électriques, d’incendie et/ou de blessures graves.
CONSERVER TOUS LES AVERTISSEMENTS ET TOUTES LES DIRECTIVES POUR UN USAGE ULTÉRIEUR
Le terme « outil électrique » cité dans les avertissements se rapporte à votre outil électrique à alimentation sur secteur (avec fil) ou par piles (sans fil).
1) SÉCURITÉ DU LIEU DE TRAVAIL a) Tenir l’aire de travail propre et bien éclairée. Les lieux encombrés ou sombres sont propices aux accidents. b) Ne pas faire fonctionner d’outils électriques dans un milieu déflagrant, tel qu’en présence de liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables. Les outils électriques produisent des étincelles qui pourraient enflammer la poussière ou les vapeurs. c) Éloigner les enfants et les personnes à proximité pendant l’utilisation d’un outil électrique. Une distraction pourrait en faire perdre la maîtrise à l’utilisateur.
2) SÉCURITÉ EN MATIÈRE D’ÉLECTRICITÉ a) Les fiches des outils électriques doivent correspondre à la prise. Ne jamais modifier la fiche d’aucune façon. Ne jamais utiliser de fiche d’adaptation avec un outil électrique mis à la terre. Le risque de choc électrique sera réduit par l’utilisation de fiches non modifiées correspondant à la prise. b) Éviter tout contact physique avec des surfaces mises à la terre comme des tuyaux, des radiateurs, des cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs. Le risque de choc électrique est plus élevé si votre corps est mis à la terre. c) Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à la pluie ou à l’humidité. La pénétration de l’eau dans un outil électrique augmente le risque de choc électrique. d) Ne pas utiliser le cordon de façon abusive. Ne jamais utiliser le cordon pour transporter, tirer ou débrancher un outil électrique. Tenir le cordon éloigné de la chaleur, de l’huile, des bords tranchants et des pièces mobiles. Les cordons endommagés ou enchevêtrés augmentent les risques de choc électrique. e) Pour l’utilisation d’un outil électrique à l’extérieur, se servir d’une rallonge convenant à cette application. L’utilisation d’une rallonge conçue pour l’extérieur réduira les risques de choc électrique. f) S’il est impossible d’éviter l’utilisation d’un outil électrique dans un endroit humide, brancher l’outil dans une prise ou sur un circuit d’alimentation dotés d’un disjoncteur de fuite à la terre (GFCI). L’utilisation de ce type de disjoncteur réduit les risques de choc électrique.
3) SÉCURITÉ PERSONNELLE a) Être vigilant, surveiller le travail effectué et faire preuve de jugement lorsqu’un outil électrique est utilisé. Ne pas utiliser d’outil électrique en cas de fatigue ou sous l’influence de drogues, d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un simple moment d’inattention en utilisant un outil électrique peut entraîner des blessures corporelles graves. b) Utiliser des équipements de protection individuelle. Toujours porter une protection oculaire. L’utilisation d’équipements de protection comme un masque antipoussière, des chaussures antidérapantes, un casque de sécurité ou des protecteurs auditifs lorsque la situation le requiert réduira les risques de blessures corporelles. c) Empêcher les démarrages intempestifs. S’assurer que l’interrupteur se trouve à la position d’arrêt avant de relier l’outil à une source d’alimentation et/ou d’insérer un bloc-piles, de ramasser ou de transporter l’outil. Transporter un outil électrique alors que le doigt repose sur l’interrupteur ou brancher un outil électrique dont l’interrupteur est à la position de marche risque de provoquer un accident. d) Retirer toute clé de réglage ou clé avant de démarrer l’outil. Une clé ou une clé de réglage attachée à une partie pivotante de l’outil électrique peut provoquer des blessures corporelles. e) Ne pas trop tendre les bras. Conserver son équilibre en tout temps. Cela permet de mieux maîtriser l’outil électrique dans les situations imprévues. f) S’habiller de manière appropriée. Ne pas porter de vêtements amples ni de bijoux. Garder les cheveux, les vêtements et les gants à l’écart des pièces mobiles. Les vêtements amples, les bijoux ou les cheveux longs risquent de rester coincés dans les pièces mobiles. g) Si des composants sont fournis pour le raccordement de dispositifs de dépoussiérage et de ramassage, s’assurer que ceux-ci sont bien raccordés et utilisés. L’utilisation d’un dispositif de dépoussiérage peut réduire les dangers engendrés par les poussières.
4) UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN D’UN OUTIL ÉLECTRIQUE a) Ne pas forcer un outil électrique. Utiliser l’outil électrique approprié à l’application. L’outil électrique approprié effectuera un meilleur travail, de façon plus sûre et à la vitesse pour laquelle il a été conçu. b) Ne pas utiliser un outil électrique dont l’interrupteur est défectueux. Tout outil électrique dont l’interrupteur est défectueux est dangereux et doit être réparé. c) Débrancher la fiche de la source d’alimentation et/ou du bloc-piles de l’outil électrique avant de faire tout réglage ou changement d’accessoire ou avant de ranger l’outil. Ces mesures préventives réduisent les risques de démarrage accidentel de l’outil électrique. d) Ranger les outils électriques hors de la portée des enfants et ne permettre à aucune personne n’étant pas familière avec un outil électrique ou son mode d’emploi d’utiliser cet outil. Les outils électriques deviennent dangereux entre les mains d’utilisateurs inexpérimentés.

e) Entretien des outils électriques. Vérifier si les pièces mobiles sont mal alignées ou coincées, si des pièces sont brisées ou présentent toute autre condition susceptible de nuire au bon fonctionnement de l’outil électrique. En cas de dommage, faire réparer l’outil électrique avant toute nouvelle utilisation. Beaucoup d’accidents sont causés par des outils électriques mal entretenus.
f) S’assurer que les outils de coupe sont aiguisés et propres. Les outils de coupe bien entretenus et affûtés sont moins susceptibles de se coincer et sont plus faciles à maîtriser.
g) Utiliser l’outil électrique, les accessoires, les forets, etc. conformément aux présentes directives en tenant compte des conditions de travail et du travail à effectuer. L’utilisation d’un outil électrique pour toute opération autre que celle pour laquelle il a été conçu est dangereuse.

5) UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DU BLOC-PILES a) Ne recharger l’outil qu’au moyen du chargeur précisé par le fabricant. L’utilisation d’un chargeur qui convient à un type de bloc-piles risque de provoquer un incendie s’il est utilisé avec un autre type de bloc-piles. b) Utiliser les outils électriques uniquement avec les blocs-piles conçus à 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 utilisé, le tenir éloigné des objets métalliques, notamment des trombones, de la monnaie, des clés, des clous, des vis ou autres petits objets métalliques qui peuvent établir une connexion entre les deux bornes. Le court-circuit des bornes du bloc-piles risque de provoquer des brûlures ou un incendie. d) En cas d’utilisation abusive, le liquide peut gicler hors du bloc-piles; éviter tout contact avec ce liquide. Si un contact accidentel se produit, laver à grande eau. Si le liquide entre en contact avec les yeux, obtenir également des soins médicaux. Le liquide qui gicle hors du bloc-piles peut provoquer des irritations ou des brûlures.

6) RÉPARATION

a) Faire réparer l’outil électrique par un réparateur professionnel en n’utilisant que des pièces de rechange identiques. Cela permettra de maintenir une utilisation sécuritaire de l’outil électrique.

Avertissements de sécurité relatifs au marteau perforateur/perceuse/visseuse

· Porter une protection auditive lors du perçage à percussion. Le bruit en émanant pourrait occasionner une perte de l’acuité auditive.

· Utiliser la/les poignée(s) auxiliaire(s) si fournie(s) avec l’outil. Une perte de contrôle de l’outil pourrait occasionner des dommages corporels.

· Tenir l’outil par les surfaces isolées prévues à cet effet pendant toute utilisation où l’organe de coupe pourrait entrer en contact avec des fils électriques cachés. Tout contact de l’organe de coupe avec un fil sous tension mettra les parties métalliques exposées de l’outil sous tension et électrocutera l’utilisateur.

· Utiliser des brides de fixation ou tout autre dispositif de fixation pratique permettant de soutenir et de retenir la pièce sur une plate-forme stable. Tenir la pièce avec la main ou contre le corps rend la pièce instable et risque de provoquer une perte de maîtrise de l’outil.

· Porter des lunettes de sécurité ou une autre protection oculaire. Le martelage et la perforation peuvent projeter des fragments. Les particules projetées peuvent endommager les yeux irréversiblement.
· Les accessoires et l’outil peuvent devenir brûlants au toucher pendant l’utilisation. Porter des gants pendant leur utilisation pour effectuer des travaux produisant beaucoup de chaleur comme la perforation à percussion et le perçage des métaux.

· Ne pas utiliser cet outil pendant des périodes de temps prolongées. Les vibrations causées par la percussion 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 fréquentes.

· Prendre des précautions à proximité des évents car ils cachent des pièces mobiles. Vêtements amples, bijoux ou cheveux longs risquent de rester coincés dans ces pièces mobiles.

AVERTISSEMENT : TOUJOURS porter des lunettes de sécurité. Les lunettes ordinaires ne constituent PAS des lunettes de sécurité. Utiliser également un masque protecteur ou antipoussière si l’opération de coupe génère de la poussière. TOUJOURS PORTER UN ÉQUIPEMENT DE SÉCURITÉ HOMOLOGUÉ :

· protection oculaire conforme à la norme ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3),

· protection auditive conforme à la norme ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) et

· protection des voies respiratoires conforme aux normes NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA.

AVERTISSEMENT : les scies, meules, ponceuses, perceuses ou autres outils de construction peuvent produire des poussières contenant des produits chimiques reconnus par l’État californien pour causer cancers, malformations congénitales ou être nocifs au système reproducteur. Parmi ces produits chimiques, on retrouve :

· Le plomb dans les peintures à base de plomb;

· La silice cristallisée dans les briques et le ciment, ou autres produits de maçonnerie; et

· L’arsenic et le chrome dans le bois ayant subi un traitement chimique.

Les risques reliés à l’exposition à ces poussières varient selon la fréquence à laquelle l’utilisateur travaille avec ce type de matériau. Pour réduire l’exposition à ces produits chimiques : travailler dans un endroit bien ventilé et porter un équipement de sécurité approuvé, comme un masque antipoussière conçu spécialement pour filtrer les particules microscopiques.

· Éviter le contact prolongé avec les poussières produites par les activités de ponçage, sciage, meulage, perçage et autres activités de construction. Porter des vêtements de protection et laver les parties du corps exposées avec une solution d’eau et de savon. Le fait de laisser la poussière pénétrer dans la bouche et les yeux ou de la laisser reposer sur la peau peut promouvoir l’absorption de produits chimiques nocifs.

AVERTISSEMENT : l’utilisation de cet outil peut produire et/ou disperser des poussières pouvant causer des problèmes respiratoires graves et permanents ou d’autres problèmes de santé. Toujours porter un appareil respiratoire approuvé par la NIOSH/OSHA pour se protéger de la poussière. Diriger les particules loin du visage et du corps.

AVERTISSEMENT : toujours porter une protection auditive appropriée conformément à la norme ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) lors de l’utilisation du produit. Dans certaines conditions et selon la durée d’utilisation, le bruit émis par ce produit peut contribuer à une perte auditive.

ATTENTION : lorsque l’outil n’est pas utilisé, le placer sur le côté, sur une surface stable, de manière à ne faire trébucher ni tomber personne. Certains outils présentant un gros bloc-piles reposeront sur ce dernier, à la verticale, mais risquent d’être facilement renversés.

Consignes de sécurité importantes propres à tous les blocs-piles
Pour commander un bloc-piles de rechange, s’assurer d’inclure son numéro de catalogue et sa tension. Consulter le tableau en dernière page de ce manuel pour connaître les compatibilités entre chargeurs et blocs-piles. Le bloc-piles n’est pas totalement chargé d’usine. Avant d’utiliser le bloc-piles et le chargeur, lire les consignes de sécurité ci-dessous. Puis suivre la procédure de charge indiquée.
LIRE TOUTES LES CONSIGNES

· Ne pas recharger ou utiliser un bloc-piles en milieu déflagrant, en présence, par exemple, de poussières, gaz ou liquides inflammables. Le fait d’insérer ou retirer un blocpiles de son chargeur pourrait causer l’inflammation de poussières ou d’émanations.
· NE JAMAIS forcer l’insertion d’un bloc-piles dans un chargeur. NE modifier un blocpiles d’AUCUNE façon pour le faire rentrer dans un chargeur incompatible, car il pourrait se briser et causer des dommages corporels graves. Consulter le tableau en dernière page de ce manuel pour connaître les compatibilités entre chargeurs et blocs-piles.
· Recharger les blocs-piles exclusivement dans des chargeurs DEWALT. · NE PAS éclabousser le bloc-piles ou l’immerger dans l’eau ou dans tout autre liquide. · Ne pas entreposer ou utiliser l’appareil et le bloc-piles en présence de températures
ambiantes pouvant excéder 40 °C (105 °F) (comme dans des hangars ou des bâtiments métalliques l’été). Pour préserver leur durée de vie, entreposer les blocs-piles dans un endroit frais et sec. REMARQUE : ne pas mettre un bloc-piles dans un outil dont la gâchette est verrouillée en position de marche. Ne jamais bloquer l’interrupteur en position de MARCHE. AVERTISSEMENT : risques d’incendie. Ne jamais tenter d’ouvrir le bloc-piles pour quelque raison que ce soit. Si le boîtier du bloc-piles est fissuré ou endommagé, ne pas l’insérer dans un chargeur. Ne pas écraser, laisser tomber, ou endommager les blocs-piles. Ne pas utiliser un bloc-piles ou un chargeur qui a reçu un choc violent, ou si l’appareil est tombé, a été écrasé ou endommagé de quelque façon que ce soit (p. ex. percé par un clou, frappé d’un coup de marteau, piétiné). Les blocs-piles endommagés doivent être renvoyés à un centre de réparation pour y être recyclés. AVERTISSEMENT : risques d’incendie. Au moment de ranger ou transporter le blocpiles, s’assurer qu’aucun objet métallique n’entre en contact avec les bornes à découvert du bloc-piles. Par exemple, éviter de placer un bloc-piles dans un tablier, une poche, une boîte à outils ou un tiroir, etc. contenant des objets tels que des clous, des vis, des clés, etc. Le fait de transporter des bloc-piles comporte des risques d’incendie, car les bornes des piles pourraient entrer, par inadvertance, en contact avec des objets conducteurs, tels que : clés, pièces de monnaie, outils ou autres. La réglementation sur les produits dangereux (Hazardous Material Regulations) du département américain des transports interdit, en fait, le transport des piles pour le commerce ou dans les avions (ex : dans les bagages enregistrés ou à main) À MOINS qu’elles ne soient correctement protégées contre tout court-circuit. Aussi lors du transport individuel de blocs-piles, s’assurer que leurs bornes sont bien protégées et isolées de tout matériau pouvant entrer en contact avec elles et provoquer un court-circuit.

CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ PROPRES AUX PILES AU LITHIUM-ION (Li-Ion) · Ne pas incinérer le bloc-piles même s’il est sévèrement endommagé ou complètement
usagé, car il pourrait exploser et causer un incendie. Pendant l’incinération des blocs-piles au lithium-ion, des vapeurs et matières toxiques sont dégagées. · En cas de contact du liquide de la pile avec la peau, rincer immédiatement au savon doux et à l’eau. En cas de contact oculaire,
