Safety Warnings For Drills; Additional Safety Information - DeWalt DWD024 Manual De Instrucciones

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) 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.

Safety Warnings for Drills

• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of
•
control can cause personal injury.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the
operator.
• 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 of control.
• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Drilling
operations cause chips to fly. Flying particles can cause
permanent eye damage.
• Bits and tools get hot during operation. Wear gloves
when touching them.
• Keep handles dry, clean, free from oil and grease. it
is recommended to use rubber gloves. This will enable
better control of the tool.
An extension cord must have adequate wire size
•
for safety. 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.

Additional Safety Information


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 the State
of California 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 disperse 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.
Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
•
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time.
Vibration caused by tool action may be harmful to your
hands and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion and
limit exposure by taking frequent rest periods.
