Electrical Safety - DeWalt XR Li-ion DCF801 Manual

h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
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.
e ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
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.
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.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Additional Specific Safety Rules for Impact
Drivers
• 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.
Additional Specific Safety Rules for Impact
Wrenches
• 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.
• Accessories and tools get hot during operation. Wear
gloves when touching them.
• 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.
Residual Risks
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
• Impairment of hearing.
• Risk of personal injury due to flying particles.
• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
during operation.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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
your charger corresponds to that of your mains.
Your D WALT charger is double insulated in
e
accordance with IEC60335; therefore no earth wire
is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
specially prepared cord available through the D
service organisation.
