Important Safety Instructions For All Battery Packs - DeWalt DCN692 Manual De Instrucciones

TO AVOID DOUBLE FIRES:
• Do not engage the tool against the work surface with a strong force.
• Allow the tool to recoil fully after each actuation.
• Use sequential action trigger.
• When bump actuating the framing nailer, always keep tool in control. Inaccurate
placement of tool can result in misdirected discharge of a nail.
• Be aware of material thickness when using nailer. A protruding nail may cause injury.
• DEPTH ADJUSTMENT: To reduce risk of serious injury from accidental actuation when
attempting to adjust depth, ALWAYS;
• Remove battery pack.
• Engage trigger lock-off (Fig. M).
• Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments
• Do not drive nails blindly into walls, floors or other work areas. Fasteners driven into live
electrical wires, plumbing, or other types of obstructions can result in injury. (Fig. N)
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
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.z
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse 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 USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also
use face or dust mask if 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.
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.
• The label on your tool may include the following symbols. The symbols and their definitions are as
follows:
V ................ volts
Hz .............. hertz
min ............ minutes
......... direct current
.............. Class I Construction (grounded)
.............. Class II Construction terminal
(double insulated)
.../min ....... per minute
IPM ............ impacts per minute
SPM .......... strokes per minute
.................visible radiation
A ................ amperes
W ............... watts
............. alternating current
............. alternating or direct current
n o .............. no load speed
n ................ rated speed
.............. earthing
............... safety alert symbol
BPM .......... beats per minute
RPM .......... revolutions per minute
sfpm .......... surface feet per minute

Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Packs

When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to include the catalog number and voltage.
Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of chargers and battery packs.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before using the battery pack and charger,
read the safety instructions below and then follow charging procedures outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not charge or use the battery pack in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery pack from
the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
• NEVER force the battery pack into the charger. DO NOT modify the battery pack in any
way to fit into a non-compatible charger as battery pack may rupture causing serious
personal injury. Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of batteries and
chargers.
• Charge the battery packs only in designated D
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may
reach or exceed 104 °F (40 °C) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer). For
best life store battery packs in a cool, dry location.
NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with the trigger switch locked on. Never
tape the trigger switch in the ON position.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the battery pack
case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into the charger. Do not crush, drop or damage the battery
pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over
or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery
packs should be returned to the service center for recycling.
Transportation
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the battery pack so that metal objects
can contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place the battery pack in
aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc.
Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come
in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US
Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting
batteries in commerce or on airplanes in carry-on baggage UNLESS they are properly protected from
short circuits. So when transporting individual battery packs, make sure that the battery terminals
are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM ION (Li-Ion)
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn
out. The battery pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when lithium
ion battery packs are burned.
• If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with mild
soap and water. If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15 minutes
or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a
mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If
symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark or flame.
