General Safety Instructions for All Battery Operated
Tools
WARNING!
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below,
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
•
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
•
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
•
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•
Do not abuse the cord.
Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may create
a fire.
•
A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be
recharged only with the specified charger for the battery.
A charger that may be suitable for
one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
•
Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack.
Use of any other
batteries may create a risk of fire.
PERSONAL SAFETY
•
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,
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry
. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, cloth-
ing , and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
•
Avoid accidental starting.
Be sure switch is in the locked or off position before inserting battery
pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool with the
switch on invites accidents.
•
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on
. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
•
Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
•
Use safety equipment
. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
•
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable plat-
form.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
•
Do not force tool.
Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job bet-
ter and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
•
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
•
Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off positionbefore
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventative safe-
ty measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
•
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
•
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to the
other. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
•
Maintain tools with care.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
•
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other con-
dition that may affect the tools operation.
If damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
•
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another
tool.
SERVICE
•
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
•
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts.
Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
Additional Specific Safety Instructions
•
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts
of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
WARNING:
Use of this tool can generate dust containing chemicals known to cause can-
cer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Use appropriate respiratory protection.
•
When working on a ladder or on scaffolding be sure to lay the tool down on its side
when not in use.
Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright but may be easily
knocked over.

Important Safety Instructions for Battery Chargers
•
This manual contains important safety and operating instructions.
•
Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) charger, (2) bat-
tery pack, and (3) product using battery pack.
•
DANGER:
120 volts present at charging terminals. Do not probe with conductive objects.
Danger of electric shock or electrocution.
•
DANGER:
If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. Danger
of electric shock or electrocution.
•
The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work together. DO NOT attempt
to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones in this manual.
•
Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
•
These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging DeWalt rechargeable bat-
teries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
•
To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when dis-
connecting charger.
•
Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise sub-
jected to damage or stress.
•
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper exten-
sion cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution.
•
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safe-
ty. 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. When using more than one extension to make
up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire
size.

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.
•
A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may occur under extreme usage or tem-
perature conditions. This does not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and
this leakage gets on your skin:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
c. If battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for a minimum of 10 min-
utes and seek immediate medical attention. (Medical note: The liquid is 25-35% solution of
potassium hydroxide.)
•
Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery
pack breaks or cracks, immediately discontinue use and do not recharge.
