Double Insulation; Servicing Of Double-Insulated Appliances; Polarized Plugs; Batteries And Chargers - DeWalt DCV581HAM Instruction Manual


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

Double Insulation

Double insulated vacuums are constructed throughout with
two separate layers of electrical insulation or one double
thickness of insulation between you and the vacuum's
electrical system. Vacuums built with this insulation system
are not intended to be grounded. As a result, your vacuum
is equipped with a two prong plug which permits you to
use extension cords without concern for maintaining a
ground connection.
nOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal
safety precautions when operating this vacuum. The
insulation system is for added protection against injury
resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure within
the vacuum.
Servicing of Double-Insulated
Appliances
Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme
care and knowledge of the system, and should be done
only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for
a double-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts
they replace.

Polarized Plugs

Polarized plugs (one blade is wider than the other) are used
on equipment to reduce the risk of electric shock. When
provided, this plug will fit in the polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

BATTERIES AND CHARGERS

The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton.
Before using the battery pack and charger, read the

procedures outlined. When ordering replacement battery
packs, be sure to include the catalog number and voltage.
Your tool uses a D WALT charger. Be sure to read all safety
e
instructions before using your charger. Consult the chart
at the end of this manual for compatibility of chargers and
battery packs.
