Residual Risks; Important Safety Instructions For All Battery Chargers - DeWalt DCH323 Original Instructions Manual

EngLIsH
• 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
operations cause chips to fly. Flying particles can cause
permanent eye damage. Wear a dust mask or respirator
for applications that generate dust. Ear protection may be
required for most applications.
• Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Do not attempt
to operate this tool without holding it with both hands. It
is recommended that the side handle be used at all times.
Operating this tool with one hand will result in loss of control.
Breaking through or encountering hard materials such as
re-bar may be hazardous as well. Tighten the side handle
securely before use.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration
caused by hammer action may be harmful to your hands and
arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion and limit exposure
by taking frequent rest periods.
• Do not recondition bits yourself. Chisel reconditioning should
be done by an authorized specialist. Improperly reconditioned
chisels could cause injury.
• Wear gloves when operating tool or changing bits. Accessible
metal parts on the tool and bits may get extremely hot
during operation. Small bits of broken material may damage
bare hands.
• Never lay the tool down until the bit has come to a complete
stop. Moving bits could cause injury.
• Do not strike jammed bits with a hammer to dislodge them.
Fragments of metal or material chips could dislodge and
cause injury.
• Slightly worn chisels can be resharpened by grinding.
• Keep the power cord away from the rotating bit. Do not
wrap the cord around any part of your body. An electric cord
wrapped around a spinning bit may cause personal injury and
loss of control.

Residual Risks

The following risks are inherent to the use of rotary hammers:
• Injuries caused by touching the rotating parts or hot parts of
the tool.
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 squeezing fingers when changing the accessory.
• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
working in concrete and/or masonry.
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 EN60335; 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.

Chargers
D WALT chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be
e
as easy as possible to operate.
Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important
safety and operating instructions for compatible battery
chargers (refer to Technical Data).
• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on charger, battery pack, and product using
battery pack.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get
inside charger. Electric shock may result.

WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.

CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only D WALT rechargeable batteries. Other types of
e
batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.

CAUTION: Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged into the power supply, the exposed charging
contacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign
material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such
as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil or any
buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from
charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the
power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity.
Unplug charger before attempting to clean
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any
chargers other than the ones in this manual. The charger
and battery pack are specifically designed to work together.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than
charging D WALT rechargeable batteries. Any other uses
e
may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting
charger. This will reduce risk of damage to electric plug
and cord.
• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk
of fire,electric shock, or electrocution.
