ENGLISH
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration caused by tool action
may be harmful to your hands and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion and
limit exposure by taking frequent rest periods.
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 area 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.
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Packs
When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to include the catalog number and
voltage. Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of chargers and
battery packs.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before using the battery pack and
charger, read the safety instructions below and then follow charging procedures outlined.
SAFETY
• DO NOT charge or use the battery pack in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery
pack from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
• NEVER force the battery pack into the charger. Do not modify the battery pack in
any way to fit into a non-compatible charger as battery pack may rupture causing
serious personal injury. Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility
of batteries and chargers.
• Charge the battery packs only in designated DeWalt chargers.
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
• DO NOT store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature
may reach or exceed 104° F (40° C) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in
summer). 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.
