DeWalt DCE580 Original Instructions Manual page 7

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
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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.
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 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.
Additional Specific Safety Instructions for
Material Dispensers
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
•
performing an operation where tool may contact hidden
wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
• Keep hands out of the plunger and plunger rod area of the
caulk/adhesive dispenser. Fingers can be crushed between the
tube holder and the plunger.
• When operating the caulk/adhesive dispenser overhead,
do not have plunger rod in the path of your eyes or head.
Plunger rod may slip back in direction of user. Always wear eye
protection when using the caulk/adhesive dispenser.
• Always work in properly ventilated area and wear appropriate
respiratory protection if necessary. Fumes from some caulks
and adhesives can be noxious.
• Turn unit off and disconnect battery pack before installing
and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making
repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable
for one tool may be hazardous when used on another tool.
The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury
to persons.
• Lock trigger in the OFF position when not in use to avoid
inadvertent release of material.
Take care not to get caulk or adhesive on battery
•
contact points.
• Always read and follow all manufacturer's instructions
regarding caulk or adhesive. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury.
