Electrical Safety; Using An Extension Cable - DeWalt D25032 Original Instructions Manual

• Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not
apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage or
loss of control, resulting in personal injury.
Additional Safety Instructions for
Rotary Hammer Drills
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support
the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by
hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss
of control.
• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering
operations cause chips to fly. Flying particles can cause
permanent eye damage. Wear a dust mask or respirator
for applications that generate dust. Ear protection may be
required for most applications.
• Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Do not attempt
to operate this tool without holding it with both hands. It
is recommended that the side handle be used at all times.
Operating this tool with one hand will result in loss of control.
Breaking through or encountering hard materials such as
re-bar may be hazardous as well. Tighten the side handle
securely before use.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time.
Vibration caused by hammer action may be harmful to your
hands and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion and limit
exposure by taking frequent rest periods.
• Do not recondition bits yourself. It should be done by an
authorized specialist. Improperly reconditioned bits 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.
• Keep the power cord away from the rotating bit. Do not
wrap the cord around any part of your body. An electric cord
wrapped around a spinning bit may cause personal injury and
loss of control.
When working above the floor, make sure that the area
•
below is clear. Falling parts can cause injuries to bystanders.
Residual Risks
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 personal injury due to flying particles.
• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
during operation.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.

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.
Your D WALT tool is double insulated in accordance
e
with EN62841; therefore no earth wire is required.

WARNING: 115 V units have to be operated via a fail-safe
isolating transformer with an earth screen between the
primary and secondary winding.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
specially prepared cord available through the D
service organisation.
