Electrical Safety - DeWalt DWD241-LX Original Instructions 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) 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.
Mixer Safety Instructions
a ) Hold the tool with both hands at the intended
handles. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
b ) Ensure sufficient ventilation when mixing flammible
materials to avoid a hazardous atmosphere.
Developing vapour may be inhaled or be ignited by the
sparks the power tool produces.
c ) Do not mix food. Power tools and their accessories are
not designed for processing food.
d ) Keep the cord away from the working area. The cord
may be entangled by the mixer basket.
e ) Ensure the mixing container is placed in a firm and
secure position. A container that is not properly secured
may move unexpectedly.
f ) Ensure that no liquid splashes against the housing
of the power tool. Liquid that has penetrated the power
tool can cause damage and lead to electric shock.
g ) Follow the instructions and warnings for the
material to be mixed. Material to be mixed may
be harmful.
h ) If the power tool falls into the material to be mixed,
unplug the tool immediately and have the power
tool checked by a qualified repair person. Reaching
into the bucket with the tool still plugged in can lead to
electric shock.
i ) Do not reach into the mixing container with your
hands or insert any other objects into it while
mixing. Contact with the mixer basket may lead to
serious personal injury.
j ) Start up and run down the tool in the mixing
container only. The mixer basket may bend or spin in an
uncontrolled manner.
Additional Safety Rules for Paddle Mixers
a ) Take into account that there will be a reactionary
torsional momentum.
b ) Load the machine in such a way that the speed does
not decrease too much or the machine is forced
to stop.
c ) When working with dust, you must wear respiratory
protection. Inhaling the dust may damage the
respiratory tract.

WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
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 burns due to accessories becoming hot
during operation.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
• A concentration of dust which is harmful to health when
working in an area that is not sufficiently ventilated.
