DeWalt DW897 Manual De Instrucciones página 3

For All Tools:
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite
injuries.
• CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don't expose power
tools to rain. Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep
work area well lit.
• GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact
with grounded surfaces; for example, pipes, radiators, ranges,
and refrigerator enclosures.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept away from
work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord.
• STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in
dry, and high or locked-up place -- out of reach of children.
• DON'T FORCE A TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was intended.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment to do the
job of a heavy duty tool Don't use tool for purpose not intended; for
example, don't use circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
• DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They
can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid
footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dustmask if operation
is dusty
• DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to
disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp
edges.
• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer than
using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool
• DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for
better and safe performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if
damaged have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect
extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep
handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
DISCONNECT OR LOCK OFF TOOLS when not in use, before
servicing, and when changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of
checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from tool before turning it on.
AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don't carry plugged-in tool
with finger on the switch. Be sure the switch is off when plugging
in.
EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage
number, the heavier the cord.
