When Sawing
•
When using saw blades specially designed for cutting wood
remove all nails and metal objects from the workpiece before
starting work.
•
Wherever possible, use clamps and vices to fasten the
workpiece securely.
•
Do not attempt to saw extremely small workpieces.
•
Do not bend too far forward. Make sure that you always stand
firmly, particularly on scaffolding and ladders.
•
Always hold the saw with both hands.
•
For cutting curves and pockets, use approved accessories.
Checking and Changing the Saw Blade
•
Only use saw blades conforming to the specifications
contained in these operating instructions.
•
Only sharp saw blades in perfect working condition should
be used; cracked or bent saw blades should be discarded and
replaced at once.
•
Ensure that the saw blade is securely fixed.

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.
e
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.
•
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 types of
e
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.
Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
•
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk
of fire,electric shock, or electrocution.
Do not place any object on top of charger or place
•
the charger on a soft surface that might block the
ventilation slots and result in excessive internal heat.
