Electrical Safety; After Use - DeWalt DCM572X1 Original Instructions Manual

• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the appliance before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing appliances.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
appliance accidentally.
• Where applicable, keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Do not use the appliance if any part is damaged or defective.
• Have any damaged or defective parts repaired or replaced by
an authorised repair agent.
• Never attempt to remove or replace any parts other than those
specified in this manual.

Electrical safety

• Appliance plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the
plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) appliance. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Do not expose appliance to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a appliance will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling
or unplugging the appliance. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating an appliance outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating an appliance in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a Residual Current Device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

After Use

• When not in use, the appliance should be stored in a dry, well
ventilated place out of the reach of children.
• Children should not have access to stored appliances.
• When the appliance is stored or transported in a vehicle
it should be placed in the boot or restrained to prevent
movement following sudden changes in speed or direction.
Battery tool use and care
• 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.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
• 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.
• 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.
Service

using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the appliance is maintained.
