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.

Electrical Safety

The electric motor has been designed for one voltage range only. Always check that 

the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. 220–240 V AC 

means your tool will operate on alternating current. Operation at a voltage outside this 

range can cause loss of power and can result in overheating. All D

E

WALT tools are 

factory tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply. Your D
