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.

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

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.
Residual Risks
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
• Impairment of hearing.
• Risk of personal injury due to flying particles.
• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
during operation.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Additional Safety Instructions for
Rotary Hammers
•
Wear ear protectors.
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.
•
Be certain that the material being drilled does not
conceal electric or gas service and that their locations
have been verified with the utility companies.
•
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
operations cause chips to fly. Flying particles can cause
permanent eye damage. Wear a dust mask or respirator
for applications that generate dust. Ear protection may be
required for most applications.
•
Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Do not attempt
to operate this tool without holding it with both hands.
It is recommended that the side handle be used at all times.
Operating this tool with one hand will result in loss of control.
Breaking through or encountering hard materials such as
re-bar may be hazardous as well. Tighten the side handle
securely before use.
•
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.
•
Do not recondition bits yourself.
Chisel reconditioning
should be done by an authorized specialist. Improperly
reconditioned chisels could cause injury.
•
Wear gloves when operating tool or changing bits.
Accessible metal parts on the tool and bits may get extremely
hot during operation. Small bits of broken material may
damage bare hands.
•
Never lay the tool down until the bit has come to a
complete stop.
Moving bits could cause injury.
•
Do not strike jammed bits with a hammer to dislodge
them.
Fragments of metal or material chips could dislodge
and cause injury.
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.
b )
Never service damaged battery packs.
Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
