Additional Safety Information - DeWalt DCE560 Instruction Manual

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.
Additional Specific Safety Instructions for
Adhesive Dispensers
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where tool may contact
hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock
the operator.
• Keep hands out of the plunger and plunger rod area of the
caulk/adhesive dispenser. Fingers can be crushed between
the tube holder and the plunger.
• When operating the caulk/adhesive dispenser overhead,
do not have plunger rod in the path of your eyes or head.
Plunger rod may slip back in direction of user. Always wear
eye protection when using the caulk/adhesive dispenser.
• Always work in properly ventilated area and wear
appropriate respiratory protection if necessary. Fumes
from some caulks and adhesives can be noxious.
• Turn unit off and disconnect battery pack before installing
and removing accessories, before adjusting or when
making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool may be hazardous when used on
another tool. The use of improper accessories may cause
risk of injury to persons.
• Lock trigger in the OFF position when not in use to avoid
inadvertent release of material.
• Take care not to get caulk or adhesive on battery
contact points.
• Always read and follow all manufacturer's instructions
regarding caulk or adhesive. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury.
• Do not use for food preparation.

Additional Safety Information


WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

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 areas 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.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
