b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury andfire.
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 afire.
d ) 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 orburns.
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 ismaintained.
Additional Specific Safety Rules for Drill /
Screwdriver / Impact Drill
• Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to
noise can cause hearingloss.
• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of
control can cause personalinjury.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory or
the fastener may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory
or the fastener contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator
an electricshock.
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support
the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by
hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss
ofcontrol.
• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering
and drilling operations cause chips to fly. Flying particles can
cause permanent eyedamage.
• Accessories and tool may get hot during operation. Wear
gloves when handling them if performing heat producing
applications such as hammerdrilling and drillingmetals.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time.
Vibration caused by hammer action may be harmful to your
hands and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion and limit
exposure by taking frequent restperiods.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
movingparts.
Residual Risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of drills:
• Injuries caused by touching the rotating parts or hot parts of
thetool.
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
• Impairment ofhearing.
• Risk of squeezing fingers when changingaccessories.
• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
working inwood.
• Risk of personal injury due to flyingparticles.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolongeduse.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate. Also make sure that the voltage of
your charger corresponds to that of yourmains.
Your DeWALT charger is double insulated in
accordance with IEC60335; therefore no earth wire
isrequired.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
specially prepared cord available through the DeWALT
serviceorganisation.
Using an Extension Cable
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use an approved extension cable suitable for
the power input of your charger (see Technical Data). The
minimum conductor size is 1mm
2
; the maximum length
is30m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cablecompletely.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Chargers
DeWALT chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be
as easy as possible tooperate.
Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important
safety and operating instructions for compatible battery
chargers (refer to TechnicalData).
• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on charger, battery pack, and product using
batterypack.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get
inside charger. Electric shock mayresult.
WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA orless.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only DeWALT rechargeable batteries. Other types of
batteries may burst causing personal injury anddamage.
CAUTION: Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with theappliance.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged into the power supply, the exposed charging
contacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign
material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such
