unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 130 °C may cause explosion.
g ) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
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 authorised service providers.
Impact Wrench/Driver 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
overtightened fasteners can lead to the failure of the joint.
Chargers
D
WALT chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be
e
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
i
your charger corresponds to that of your mains.
Your D
WALT charger is double insulated in
e
accordance with EN60335; therefore, no earth wire
is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by
D
WALT or an authorised service organisation.
e
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.
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
WALT rechargeable batteries. Other types of
e
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
WALT rechargeable batteries. Any other uses
e
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.
