Additional Safety Information - DeWalt D25604 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.
Additional Safety Instructions for
Rotary Hammers
• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss
of control can cause personal injury.
Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces
•
when performing an operation where the cutting
tool 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 could give
the operator an electric shock.
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.
Hammering operations cause chips to fly. Flying particles
can cause permanent eye damage. Wear a dust mask
or respirator for applications that generate dust. Ear
protection may be required for most applications.
• Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Do not
attempt to operate this tool without holding it with
both hands. Operating this tool with one hand will
result in loss of control. Breaking through or encountering
hard materials such as re-bar may be hazardous as well.
Tighten the side handle securely before use.
• 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 rest periods.
Do not recondition bits yourself. Chisel reconditioning
•
should be done by an authorized specialist. Improperly
reconditioned chisels could cause injury.
• Wear gloves when operating tool or changing
bits. Accessible metal parts on the tool and bits may
get extremely hot during operation. Small bits of broken
material may damage bare hands.
• Never lay the tool down until the bit has come to a
complete stop. Moving bits could cause injury.
• Do not strike jammed bits with a hammer to
dislodge them. Fragments of metal or material chips
could dislodge and cause injury.
Keep the power cord away from the rotating bit. Do
•
not wrap the cord around any part of your body. An
electric cord wrapped around a spinning bit may cause
personal injury and loss of control.

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.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity
of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18
gauge. 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
lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
