Additional Safety Information; Batteries And Chargers - DeWalt DCF403 Instruction Manual

English
• Operators and others in work area must wear ANSI Z87.1
CAN/CSA Z94.3 or other approved safety glasses with side
shields. Always wear safety glasses and ear protection
during operation.
• Adequate clearance is required for the tool operator's
hands before proceeding.
• Do not operate a tool that is directed towards any
person(s).
• DO NOT operate tool with the nose housing removed.
• Do not operate the tool or the charger in an explosive
atmosphere or environment allowing exposure to
combustible fluids or gases.
• Do not operate the tool or the charger in an environment
allowing exposure to moisture or rain to avoid risk of
electric shock.
• Do not abuse the tool by dropping or using it as a hammer.
• Keep dirt and foreign matter out of the air vents of the tool
as this will cause the tool to malfunction.
• Keep tool handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

Additional Safety Information


WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of
it. Damage or personal injury could result.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting 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.

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.
• Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas
with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your
mouth, eyes, or lie on the skin may promote absorption
of harmful chemicals. Direct particles away from face
and body.

• Use the appropriate dust extractor vacuum to remove
the vast majority of static and airborne dust. Failure
to remove static and airborne dust could contaminate the
working environment or pose an increased health risk to
the operator and those in close proximity.
• Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the workpiece by hand or against your body is unstable
and may lead to loss of control and injury.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.

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.
