Extension Cords - DeWalt D25980-XE Instruction Manual

c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position
before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use
of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking 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.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always check that the
power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. 240 V AC means your
tool will operate on alternating current. As little as 10% lower voltage can cause
loss of power and can result in overheating. All D
if this tool does not operate, check the power supply. Your D
insulated, therefore no earth wire is required.
• Young children and the infirm. This appliance is not intended for use by
young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with this appliance.
• Replacement of the supply cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised D

Extension Cords

CAUTION: Use only extension cords that are approved by the country's
Electrical Authority. Before using extension cords, inspect them for loose or
exposed wires, damaged insulation and defective fittings. Replace the cord if
necessary.
Additional Safety Instructions for Pavement Breakers
• Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and
shock the operator.
Be certain that the material being worked does not conceal electric or gas
service and that their locations have been verified with the utility companies.
• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause
personal injury.
