Black & Decker DP240- Manual

General Safety Rules

WARNING! Read all instructions.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may

result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the

warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or

battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases or dust

.

Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust

or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can

cause you to lose control

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not

use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and

matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,

ranges and refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is

earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool

will increase the risk of electric shock

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the

power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for

outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a

power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating power tool may

result in serious personal injury.

b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Safety equipment such as

dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging

in.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that

have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.

A wrench

or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

This enables better

control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing

and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be

caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be avoided.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection

facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.

Use of these devices can

reduce dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.

The

correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the

power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power

tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons

unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.

Many accidents

are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these

instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of

the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.

5) Battery tool use and care

a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack.

Inserting the

battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

b) 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.

c) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.

Use of any other

battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

d) 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.

e) 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.

6) 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.

Specific Safety Rules

•

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Read and follow all instructions that are on the product or provided with the product.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• This power unit is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount position.
• Do not charge (plug in this product) to an outlet that is located outdoors.
•

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Contact with a "live" wire will

make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.

•

Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the work piece to a
stable platform.

Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and

may lead to loss of control.

• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS- This manual contains important safety and operating

instructions for power units.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

other construction activities contains chemicals known 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. (CCA)

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 disburse 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.
