To reduce the risk of injury, read the instruction manual.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions

Failure to follow the

warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

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.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault

circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.

Use of a GFCI 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 tools may

result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Protective

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

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before

connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing 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.

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

facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.

Use of dust collection 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 tool’s 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, 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) 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.

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

Use of any other

battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

c) 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.

Safety Rules for Drill/Drivers

• Wear ear protectors with impact drills.

Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

•

Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool.

Loss of control can cause personal

injury.

•

Hold power tools 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 workpiece to a
stable platform.

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

may lead to loss of control.

•

Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.

Loose clothes, jewelry or

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

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 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 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.

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.

CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable surface where it will

not cause a tripping or falling hazard.

Some tools with large battery packs will stand

upright on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over.

WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can

contact exposed battery terminals.

For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets,

tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc.

Transporting

batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in
contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like.

The

US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit
transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e., packed in suitcases and carry-on
luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting
individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated
from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM ION (LI-ION)

•

Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely
worn out.

The battery pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are

created when lithium ion battery packs are burned.

•

If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with
mild soap and water.

If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for

15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte
is composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts.

•

Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation.

Provide fresh air.

If symptoms persists, seek medical attention.

WARNING:

Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark or flame.

Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Chargers

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

This manual contains important safety and operating

instruc tions for battery chargers.
• 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.

CAUTION:

Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only D

E

WALT rechargeable

batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.

NOTICE:

Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to the power supply, the

charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such
as, but not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, 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

E

WALT

rechargeable batteries.

Any other uses 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.

•

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.

•

An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge)
for safety.

The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the

cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than
one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at
least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
