Specific Safety Rules - DeWalt DCF815 Instruction Manual

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep H 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 bums 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 bums.
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 Rules
• Hold 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.
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support
the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering and
drilling operations cause chips to fly. Flying particles can cause
permanent eye damage.
• Bits, sockets and tools get hot during operation. Weargloves
when touching them.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• 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: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are
NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIEDSAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI $12.6 ($3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
A 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.
