Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
This manual contains important
safety and operating instructions for compatible battery
chargers (refer to
Technical Data
).
• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on charger, battery pack, and product using
battery pack.
WARNING:
Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get
inside charger. Electric shock may result.
WARNING:
We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
CAUTION:
Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only
D
e
WALT
rechargeable batteries. Other
types of batteries may burst causing personal injury
and damage.
CAUTION:
Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
NOTICE:
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, steel wool, aluminum foil or any
buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from
charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the
power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity.
Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
•
DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any
chargers other than the ones in this manual.
The charger
and battery pack are specifically designed to work together.
•
These chargers are not intended for any uses other than
charging
D
e
WALT
rechargeable 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.
•
Do not place any object on top of charger or place
the charger on a soft surface that might block the
ventilation slots and result in excessive internal heat.
Place the charger in a position away from any heat source. The
charger is ventilated through slots in the top and the bottom
of the housing.
•
Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug—
have them replaced immediately.
•
Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way.
Take it
to an authorised service centre.
Chargers
D
e
WALT
chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be
as easy as possible to operate.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate. Also make sure that the voltage of
your charger corresponds to that of your mains.
i
Your
D
e
WALT
charger is double insulated in
accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth wire
is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by
D
e
WALT
or an authorised service organisation.
Mains Plug Replacement
(U.K. & Ireland Only)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
• Safely dispose of the old plug.
• Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in the plug.
• Connect the blue lead to the neutral terminal.
WARNING:
No connection is to be made to the
earth terminal.
Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs.
Recommended fuse: 3 A.
Using an Extension Cable
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use an approved extension cable suitable for
the power input of your charger (see
Technical Data
). The
minimum conductor size is 1 mm
2
; the maximum length
is 30 m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.
Impact Wrench Safety Warnings ‑
All Operations
•
Hold the 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.
•
Wear ear protectors during use.
Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
WARNING: Impact wrenches are not torque
wrenches. DO NOT use this tool for tightening
fasteners to specified torques.
An independent,
calibrated torque measurement device such as a torque
wrench should be used when under tightened or over
tightened fasteners can lead to the failure of the joint.
b )
Never service damaged battery packs.
Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
