Safety Warnings
(Continued)
h)When the battery pack is not
in use, keep it away from
metal objects such as paper
clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws, or the like so there is
no risk of the battery
terminals being connected
(that is, “shorted”) together.
Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause sparks,
burns, a fire, a shock, or damage
to the battery.
i) Do not use if the chuck jaws
or other parts are cracked or
worn.
j) Verify the drill’s rotation
before starting to drill/drive,
so that it is correct for the
operation being performed.
k)Do not use the drill as a
router or try to elongate or
enlarge holes by twisting the
drill. Drill bits may break and
cause injury.
l) Each drill is equipped with a
chuck capable of handling
bits up to a certain size. For
the DG2019 drill, bits with
shaft diameters greater than
3/8" [10mm] should not be
used.
m) Ensure the switch is in the
off position before inserting
the battery pack.Inserting the
battery pack into power tools
that have the switch on invites
accidents.
n)Recharge the battery pack
only with the charger
supplied with this tool. A
charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create
a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
o)Use this drill only with the
supplied battery pack or the
recommended replacement
pack as specified by the
manufacturer. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk
of injury or fire.
p)Charge the battery pack in a
well-ventilated area. Do not
allow any object to cover the
charger and/or battery pack
while charging.
q)Do not operate the battery
charger if its plug or cord has
been damaged. If these
components are damaged,
have them replaced
immediately by a qualified
repair person.
r) Do not operate the charger if
it has been dropped, received
a sharp blow, or otherwise
been damaged. If damaged,
have it serviced by a
qualified repair person.
s) Make sure the cord is located
so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, or
otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
t) Do not store the battery
charger or battery pack in
locations where the
temperature may reach or
exceed 120°F [49°C], such as
in a metal tool shed or in a
car during the summer. This
can lead to deterioration of
these components.
u)For optimal charging of the
battery pack, charging should
take place in temperatures
ranging from 32°F to 86°F
[0°C to 30°C]. Charging the
battery pack outside this
recommended range can
adversely affect the battery’s
performance.
v)Do not charge the battery
pack in damp or wet
conditions.
w) Do not charge the battery
pack if it feels hot to the
touch. Wait for it to cool.
x)Since this tool is equipped
with nickel-cadmium
batteries, the battery pack
must be recycled or disposed
of in an environmentally
sound manner. Check with
your county’s Public Works
Department for information
on recycling nickel-cadmium
batteries. Prior to disposal,
insulate the metal battery
pack terminals by covering
them securely with heavy
insulating tape in order to
prevent any possible
shorting.
y)Do not incinerate the
battery pack as it may
explode in a fire.
5) Service
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.
