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.
Slightly worn chisels can be resharpened by grinding.
•
•
Do not overheat the bit (discoloration) while grinding
a new edge. Badly worn chisels require reforging. Do not
reharden and temper the chisel.
Residual Risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of rotary hammers:
•
Injuries caused by touching the rotating parts or hot parts of
the tool.
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 of hearing.
•
Risk of squeezing fingers when changing the accessory.
•
Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
working in concrete and/or masonry.
•
Risk of personal injury due to flying particles.
•
Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
during operation.
•
Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
Chargers
D
WALT chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be
e
as easy as possible to operate.
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
i
your charger corresponds to that of your mains.
Your D
WALT charger is double insulated in
e
accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth wire
is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by
D
WALT or an authorised service organisation.

Mains Plug Replacement
(U.K. & Ireland Only)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
•
Safely dispose of the old plug.
•
Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in the plug.
32
•
Connect the blue lead to the neutral terminal.
WARNING: No connection is to be made to the
earth terminal.
Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs.
Recommended fuse: 3 A.
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 1 mm
is 30 m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.
Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important
safety and operating instructions for compatible battery
chargers (refer to Technical Data).
•
Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on charger, battery pack, and product using
battery pack.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get
inside charger. Electric shock may result.
WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only D
WALT rechargeable batteries. Other
e
types of batteries may burst causing personal injury
and damage.
CAUTION: Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
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
as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil or any
buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from
charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the
power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity.
Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any
•
chargers other than the ones in this manual. The charger
and battery pack are specifically designed to work together.
•
These chargers are not intended for any uses other than
charging D
WALT rechargeable batteries. Any other uses
e
may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
•
Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting
•
charger. This will reduce risk of damage to electric plug
and cord.
Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be
•
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
