GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or seriousinjury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS
AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTUREREFERENCE.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
powertool.
1) Work Area Safety
a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas inviteaccidents.
b ) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust orfumes.
c ) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to losecontrol.
2) Electrical Safety
a ) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electricshock.
b ) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed orgrounded.
c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electricshock.
d ) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electricshock.
e ) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electricshock.
f ) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI
reduces the risk of electricshock.
3) Personal Safety
a ) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personalinjury.
b ) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personalinjuries.
c ) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energizing 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
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry 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 dust
collection can reduce dust-relatedhazards.
h ) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of asecond.
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 and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool 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 and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s 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.
ENGLISH
3
g ) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, 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.
h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpectedsituations.
5) Battery Tool Use and Care
a ) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another batterypack.
b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury andfire.
c ) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or afire.
d ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
orburns.
e ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting
in fire, explosion or risk ofinjury.
f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to
fire or temperature above 265 °F (130°C) may
causeexplosion.
g ) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the
specified range may damage the battery and increase
the risk of fire.
6) 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.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized serviceproviders.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ALL OPERATIONS
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding,
Sanding, Wire Brushing or Abrasive,
Cutting-Off Operations
a ) This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder, sander, wire brush or cut-off tool. Read
all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or seriousinjury.
b ) Operations such as polishing are not
reccomended to be performed with this
power tool. Operations for which the power tool
was not designed may create a hazard and cause
personalinjury.
c ) Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer. Just because the accessory can
be attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safeoperation.
d ) The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool. Accessories running faster than their
rated speed can break and flyapart.
e ) The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot
be adequately guarded orcontrolled.
f ) Threaded mounting of accessories must match
the grinder spindle thread. For accessories
mounted by flanges, the arbor hole of the
accessory must fit the locating diameter of the
flange. Accessories that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out of balance,
vibrate excessively and may cause loss ofcontrol.
g ) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use inspect the accessory such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for
cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose
or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory
is dropped, inspect for damage or install an
undamaged accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
accessory and run the power tool at maximum
no-load speed for one minute. Damaged
accessories will normally break apart during this
testtime.
h ) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending
on application, use face shield, safety goggles or
safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask,
hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece
fragments. The eye protection must be capable
of stopping flying debris generated by various
ENGLISH
4
operations. The dust mask or respirator must be
capable of filtrating particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise
may cause hearingloss.
i ) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work
area. Anyone entering the work area must wear
personal protective equipment. Fragments of
workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and
cause injury beyond immediate area ofoperation.
j ) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electricshock.
k ) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.
If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged
and your hand or arm may be pulled into the
spinningaccessory.
l ) Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the
power tool out of yourcontrol.
m ) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into yourbody.
n ) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The
motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause
electricalhazards.
o ) Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite thesematerials.
p ) Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution orshock.
q ) Do not use Type 11 (flaring cup) wheels on this
tool. Using inappropriate accessories can result
ininjury.
r ) Always use side handle. Tighten the handle
securely. The side handle should always be used to
maintain control of the tool at alltimes.
s ) When starting the tool with a new or
replacement wheel, or a new or replacement
wire brush installed, hold the tool in a well
protected area and let it run for one minute. If
the wheel has an undetected crack or flaw, it
should burst in less than one minute. If the wire
brush has loose wires, they will be detected.
Never start the tool with a person in line with the
wheel. This includes theoperator.
t ) Use of accessories not specified in this manual
is not recommended and may be hazardous.
Use of power boosters that would cause the tool
to be driven at speeds greater than its rated speed
constitutesmisuse.
u ) Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves
it unstable and may lead to loss ofcontrol.
v ) Avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it rough
treatment. If this occurs, stop the tool and inspect the
wheel for cracks orflaws.
w ) Always handle and store wheels in a carefulmanner.
x ) Do not operate this tool for long periods of time.
Vibration caused by the operating action of this
tool may cause permanent injury to fingers,
hands, and arms. Use gloves to provide extra
cushion, take frequent rest periods, and limit daily
time ofuse.
y ) Air vents often cover moving parts and should
be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in movingparts.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory.
Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating
accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to
be forced in the direction opposite of the accessorys rotation
at the point of thebinding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by
the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the
pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing
the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump
toward or away from the operator, depending on direction
of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive
wheels may also break under theseconditions.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below:
a ) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if
provided, for maximum control over kickback or
torque reaction during start up. The operator can
control torque reaction or kickback forces, if proper
precautions aretaken.
b ) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over yourhand.
c ) Do not position your body in the area where
power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback
will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s
movement at the point ofsnagging.
d ) Use special care when working corners, sharp
edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the
accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have
a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause
loss of control orkickback.
e ) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade
or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss ofcontrol.

Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and
Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations
a ) Use only wheel types that are recommended for
your power tool and the specific guard designed
for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power
tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded
and areunsafe.
b ) The grinding surface of center depressed
wheels must be mounted below the plane of
the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that
projects through the plane of the guard lip cannot be
adequatelyprotected.
c ) The guard must be securely attached to the
power tool and positioned for maximum safety,
so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards
the operator. The guard helps to protect the operator
from broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with
wheel and sparks that could igniteclothing.
d ) Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with the
side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are
intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them toshatter.
e ) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that
are of correct size and shape for your selected
wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel
thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from
grinding wheelflanges.
f ) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power
tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is not
suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and
mayburst.
Additional Safety Warnings Specific for
Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations
a ) Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive
depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the
loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of
the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or
wheelbreakage.
b ) Do not position your body in line with and
behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the
point of operation, is moving away from your body,
the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel
and the power tool directly atyou.
c ) When wheel is binding or when interrupting
a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool
and hold the power tool motionless until the
wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt
to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while
the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may
occur. Investigate and take corrective action to
eliminate the cause of wheelbinding.
d ) Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and
carefully reenter the cut. The wheel may bind,
walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in
theworkpiece.
e ) Support panels or any oversized workpiece
to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and
kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under
their own weight. Supports must be placed under
the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of
the workpiece on both sides of thewheel.
f ) Use extra caution when making a “pocket
cut” into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes,
electrical wiring or objects that can causekickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding
Operations
a ) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc
paper. Follow manufacturers recommendations,
when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding
paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a
laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of
the disc orkickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire
Brushing Operations
a ) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the
brush even during ordinary operation. Do not
overstress the wires by applying excessive load to
the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light
clothing and/orskin.
b ) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire
brushing, do not allow any interference of the
wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel
or brush may expand in diameter due to work and
centrifugalforces.
c ) Safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
and a full face shield compliant with ANSI Z87.1
MUST be worn by the operator and others that
are within 50' (15.2 m) of the use of thisproduct.
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,
ENGLISH
6
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.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmfulchemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/
or disperse dust, which may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face andbody.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing
protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
during use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearingloss.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its
side on a stable surface where it will not cause

Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all
instructions for the battery pack, charger and
power tool. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/
or seriousinjury.
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
DeWALT
rechargeable batteries.
Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock
orelectrocution.
Do not expose the charger to rain orsnow.
Pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of
damage to the electric plug andcord.
Make sure that the 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.
When operating a charger outdoors, always provide
a dry location and use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electricshock.
An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity
of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18
gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using
more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
lower the gauge number, the heavier thecord.

Do not disassemble the charger; take it to an
authorized service center when service or repair
is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock, electrocution orfire.
Disconnect the charger from the outlet before
attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of
electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce
thisrisk.
NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargerstogether.
The charger is designed to operate on standard
120V household electrical power. Do not attempt to
use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the
vehicularcharger.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to

inserting batterypack.
Fig. C
11
2. Insert the battery pack
11
into the charger, making sure
the battery pack is fully seated in the charger. The red
(charging) light will blink continuously indicating that
the charging process hasstarted.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red
light remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is
fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the
charger. To remove the battery pack from the charger,
push the battery release button on the battery pack and
then slide the battery pack out of thecharger.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-
ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before

batterypack.
DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118, DCB132, DCB1106
Charging
Fully Charged
Hot/Cold Pack Delay*
* DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118,
DCB132, DCB1106: The red light will continue to blink,
but a yellow indicator light will be illuminated during
this operation. Once the battery pack has reached an
appropriate temperature, the yellow light will turn off and
the charger will resume the chargingprocedure.
The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery
pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery pack by
refusing to light.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with acharger.
If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and
battery pack to be tested at an authorized servicecenter.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot
or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an
appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically
switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery packlife.
A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than a warm
battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate
throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to
maximum charge rate even if the battery packwarms.
The DCB118 charger is equipped with an internal fan
designed to cool the battery pack. The fan will turn on
automatically when the battery pack needs to becooled.
Never operate the charger if the fan does not operate
properly or if ventilation slots are blocked. Do not permit
foreign objects to enter the interior of thecharger.
Lithium-Ion Battery Packs Only
Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection
System that will protect the battery pack against
overloading, overheating or deepdischarge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic
Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the lithium-
ion battery pack on the charger until it is fullycharged.
Wall Mounting
DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118, DCB132,
DCB1106
These chargers are designed to be wall mountable or to
sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall mounting,
locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet,
and away from a corner or other obstructions which may
impede air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template
for the location of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount
the charger securely using drywall screws (purchased
separately) at least 1" (25.4 mm) long, with a screw head
diameter of 0.28–0.35" (7–9mm), screwed into wood to an
optimal depth leaving approximately 7/32" (5.5 mm) of the
screw exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger
with the exposed screws and fully engage them in theslots.
Charger Cleaning Instructions
WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger
from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease
may be removed from the exterior of the charger using
a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or
any cleaningsolutions.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is
between 65°F and 75°F (18° 24°C). DO NOT charge
the battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F
(+4.5°C), or above +104°F (+40°C). This is important
and will prevent serious damage to the batterypack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the
touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of
ENGLISH
10
the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or
battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal
shed or an uninsulatedtrailer.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp
or other appliance;
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light
switch which turns power off when you turn out the
lights;
c. Move the charger and battery pack to a location
where the surrounding air temperature is
approximately 65°F – 75°F (18° – 24°C);
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery
pack and charger to your local servicecenter.
4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to
produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily
done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also
charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with
no adverse effect on the batterypack.
5. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but
not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, 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 the charger
before attempting toclean.
6. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any
otherliquid.
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away
from direct sunlight and excess heat orcold.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully
charged battery pack in a cool dry place out of the
charger for optimalresults.
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely
depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be
recharged beforeuse.

Precautions To Take When Working on a
Painted Workpiece
1. Sanding or wire brushing of lead based paint is NOT
RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling
the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead
poisoning is to children and pregnantwomen.
2. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint
contains lead without a chemical analysis, we
recommend the following precautions when sanding
any paint:
Personal Safety
1. No children or pregnant women should enter the work
area where the paint sanding or wire brushing is being
done until all clean up iscompleted.
2. A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons
entering the work area. The filter should be replaced
daily or whenever the wearer has difficultybreathing.
NOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working
with lead paint dust and fumes should be used.
Ordinary painting masks do not offer this protection.
See your local hardware dealer for the proper N.I.O.S.H.
approvedmask.
3. NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in
the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint
particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE
eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or
smoking should not be left in the work area where dust
would settle onthem.
Environmental Safety
1. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to
minimize the amount of dustgenerated.
2. Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed
with plastic sheeting of 4 milsthickness.
3. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking
of paint dust outside the workarea.
Cleaning and Disposal
1. All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed
and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of
the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be
changedfrequently.
ENGLISH
15
2. Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed
of along with any dust chips or other removal debris.
They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and
disposed of through regular trash pick-upprocedures.
During clean up, children and pregnant women should
be kept away from the immediate workarea.
3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by
children should be washed thoroughly before being
usedagain.
Edge Grinding and Cutting (Fig. P)
WARNING: Do not use edge grinding/cutting wheels
for surface grinding applications because these wheels
are not designed for side pressures encountered
with surface grinding. Wheel breakage and injury
mayresult.
CAUTION: Wheels used for edge grinding and
cutting may break or kick back if they bend or twist
while the tool is being used. In all edge grinding/
cutting operations, the open side of the guard must be
positioned away from the operator.
Edge grinding/cutting with a Type27 wheel must
be limited to shallow cutting and notching—less
than 1/2" (13mm) in depth when the wheel is new.
Reduce the depth of cutting/notching equal to the
reduction of the wheel radius as it wears down. Refer
to the Accessories Chart for more information. Edge
grinding/cutting with a Type 1/41 wheel requires
usage of a Type 1/41guard.
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the
tool to the worksurface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing
the tool to operate at high speed. Grinding/cutting rate
is greatest when the tool operates at highspeed.
3. Position yourself so that the open-underside of the
wheel is facing away fromyou.
4. Once a cut is begun and a notch is established in
the workpiece, do not change the angle of the cut.
Changing the angle will cause the wheel to bend and
may cause wheel breakage. Edge grinding wheels
are not designed to withstand side pressures caused
bybending.
5. Remove the tool from the work surface before turning
the tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying
itdown.
