SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: Some dust created by power sand- ing, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause can- cer, 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 spe- cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sand- ing, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construc- tion 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 perma- nent 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 hear- ing 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 hear- ing loss.

CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable surface where it will not cause a trip- ping or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over.

Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Packs

When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to include model number and voltage. The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before using the battery pack and charger, read the safety instructions below. Then follow charging procedures outlined.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flam- mable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.

NEVER force battery pack into charger. DO NOT modify battery pack in any way to fit into a non- compatible charger as battery pack may rupture causing serious personal injury.

Charge the battery packs only in DEWALT char- gers.

DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liq- uids.

Do not store or use the tool and battery pack

in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 105°F (40°C) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).

DANGER: Electrocution hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has re- ceived a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or dam- aged in any way (i.e., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Electric shock or electrocu- tion may result. Damaged battery packs should be returned to service center for recycling.

NOTE: Battery storage and carrying caps are pro- vided for use whenever the battery is out of the tool or charger. Remove cap before placing battery in charger or tool.

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. without battery cap. 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 Trans- portation 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.
