DeWalt DCD708 Original Instructions Manual page 43

• Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do
not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing
breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal
injury.
Additional Safety Warnings for Drill/
Driver/ Hammerdrill
• 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.
• Accessories and tool may get hot during operation.
Wear gloves when handling them if performing heat
producing applications such as drilling metals.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection.
Hammering and drilling operations cause chips to fly.
Flying particles can cause permanent eye damage.
• Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure
to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
• 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.
