Manual

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position

before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or

plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A

wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in

personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This

enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,

clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection

facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust

collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

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 and in the manner intended for the particular type of

power tool, 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 only. Always check that the

power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. 230 V AC means your

tool will operate on alternating current. As little as 10% lower voltage can cause loss

of power and can result in overheating. All DEWALT tools are factory tested; if this

tool does not operate, check the power supply. Your DEWALT tool is double insulated,

therefore no earth wire is required.

Can I store power tools in a shed or garage? Verified

In general, you can store power tools in a shed or garage, even if it sometimes freezes there. However, it is better for the lifespan of the power tool to store it in a dry place without major temperature fluctuations. In a shed or garage, differences in temperature can cause condensation to form, which can cause rust. In addition, tools that run on batteries last shorter and do not charge as well at very low temperatures. To be sure how your power tool needs to be stored, always thoroughly read the user manual.
