WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to

follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire

and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches

and dark areas invite accidents.

• 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.

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep

cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace

damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may create a fire.

• A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a

separate battery pack must be recharged only with the

specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be

suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used

with another battery.

• Use battery operated tool only with the specifically

designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create

a risk of fire.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common

English

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained

persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• 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 sparks, burns, or a fire.

• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely

to bind and are easier to control.

• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect

the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before

using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

• Use only accessories that are recommended by the

manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be

suitable for one tool, may create a risk of injury when used on

another tool.

SERVICE

• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair

personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified

personnel may result in a risk of injury.

• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement

parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this

manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance

Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

Additional Safety Rules

• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing

an operation where the tool may contact hidden wiring.

Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of

the tool “live” and shock the operator.

• When working on a ladder or on scaffolding be sure to lay

the tool down on its side when not in use. Some tools with

Chargers

Your battery can be charged in DEWALT 1 Hour Chargers, 15 Minute

Chargers or Vehicular 12 volt charger. Be sure to read all safety

instructions before using your charger.

Consult chart on back cover for compatibility of chargers and battery

packs.

Using Tune-Up™ Mode

The Tune-up™ mode will equalize or balance the individual cells in

the battery pack at its peak capacity. This cycle takes up to 8 hours to

complete. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly or after 10 to 20

charge/discharge cycles or whenever the pack no longer delivers the

same amount of work.

1. To tune up your battery pack, place the battery in the charger as

usual. The red light will blink continuously indicating that the charge

cycle has started.

2. The Tune-up™ Button may be pressed at any time after the charge

has started. The red light will stop blinking momentarily, blink quickly

3 times, and then resume blinking continuously. The charger is

now giving your batteries a tune-up.

3. When the charge cycle has completed, the light will stay on

continuously. The pack is fully charged and may be used at this time

or left in the charger.

4. If you select Tune-up™ and then change your mind, remove the

battery from the charger. After 5 seconds, insert the battery into the

charger. The normal charge cycle will commence.

Charging Procedure

1 HOUR CHARGERS

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate power outlet.

391742/DW931,932 1/22/01 9:10 AM Page 3

English

2. Insert the battery pack into the charger, as shown in FIG.1, making

sure the pack is fully seated in the charger. The red (charging) light

will blink continuously indicating that the charging process has

started.

3. The battery pack will be fully charged in about 1 hour. The

completion of charge will be indicated by the red light remaining ON

continuously. The pack is fully charged and may be used at this time

or left in the charger.

TROUBLE INDICATORS: These chargers are designed to detect

certain problems that can arise with battery packs which would be

indicated by the red light flashing at a fast rate (and continuous beeping

for 15 Minute Chargers). If this occurs, re-insert battery pack. If

problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the charger

is OK. If the new pack charges correctly, then the original pack is

defective and should be returned to a service center for recycling. If the

new battery pack elicits the same trouble indication as the original,

have charger tested at an authorized service center.

PROBLEM POWER LINE

If your charger has a Problem Power Line indicator: When the charger

‘is used with some portable power sources such as generators or

sources that convert DC to AC, the charger may temporarily suspend

operation, flashing the red light with two fast blinks followed by a

pause. This indicates the power source is out of limits.

HOT PACK DELAY

If your charger has a Hot Pack Delay feature: When the charger detects

a battery that is hot, it automatically starts a Hot Pack Delay, suspending

charging until the battery has cooled. After the battery has cooled, the

charger automatically switches to the Pack Charging mode. This

feature ensures maximum battery life. The red light flashes long, then

short while in the Hot Pack Delay mode.

15 MINUTE CHARGERS

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate power outlet. The charger will

beep twice, the red light will blink and go off.

2. Insert the battery pack into the charger, as shown in FIG. 1, making

sure the pack is fully seated in the charger. The red light will blink

and the charger will beep once indicating the charging process has

started.

3. The battery pack will be fully charged in less than 15 minutes under

most conditions. This will be indicated by the red light remaining ON

and 3 beeps. The pack is fully charged and may be used at this time

or left in the charger.

WEAK BATTERY PACKS: The charger can also detect a weak

battery. Such batteries are still usable but should not be expected to

perform as much work. In such cases, about 10 seconds after battery

insertion, the charger will beep rapidly 8 times to indicate a weak

battery condition. The charger will then go on to charge the battery to

the highest capacity possible.

All Chargers

Leaving the battery pack in the charger: When the red light remains

ON, the charger has switched to its "equalize charge" mode which

lasts approximately 4 hours, after which the charger will switch to

"maintenance charge" mode. The battery pack can be removed at

any time during these charge cycles, but will only be fully charged if the

red light is continuously ON. The charger and battery pack can be left

connected with the red light glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep

the battery pack fresh and fully charged. A battery pack will slowly

lose its charge when kept out of the charger. If the battery pack has not

been kept on maintenance charge, it may need to be recharged before

use. A battery pack may also slowly lose its charge if left in a charger

that is not plugged into an appropriate AC source.

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 +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important

and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.

2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while

charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a

391742/DW931,932 1/22/01 9:10 AM Page 4

English

FIG 1

problem.

3. If the battery pack does not charge properly — (1) Check current at

receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance, (2) Check to see

if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when

you turn out the lights. (3) Move charger and battery pack to a location

where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F - 75°F

(18°- 24°C). (4) If charging problems persist, take or send 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 affect on the battery pack.

6. Do not immerse charger in water or any other liquid.

WARNING: Don't allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock

may result. To facilitate the cooling of 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.

CAUTION: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If

the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a

service center for recycling.

replacement pack exactly like it.) Never install any other battery pack.

It will ruin your tool and may create a hazardous condition.

Introduction

Examine Figure 2 and your plate joiner for a few minutes to become

familiar with the various features and the names used to describe

them. The following sections will discuss the various controls and their

locations.

Overview

You have purchased a precision woodworking tool. The function of

the plate joiner is to enable you to make extremely strong and accurate

joints in wood and wood by products.

The tool works by a plunging action to precisely cut crescent shaped

slots for the placement of flat wooden dowels or “biscuits” like those

shown in Figure 3.

The various adjustments on the patented base/fence assembly will

enable you to make virtually any biscuit joint imaginable. The tool may

be further enhanced by some simple jigs and fixtures that can be easily

391742/DW931,932 1/22/01 9:10 AM Page 5

English

made. Some of the more common biscuit joinery applications are

shown in Figure 4 and are discussed in detail in the applications

section of this manual.

Blade Replacement (Fig. 5)

In time your saw blade will wear out and need replacement. To

remove the blade, follow the steps below.

1. Turn off the plate joiner and remove the battery pack.

2. Remove the 4 torx head screws from the bottom of the shoe, using

the T20 torx screwdriver provided.

3. Rotate the shoe out of the way.

4. Use the spanner wrench provided to loosen (counterclockwise) the

blade nut. Depress the spindle lock pin on the top of the gear case

to hold the spindle while you unscrew the nut.

5. Remove the blade and have it sharpened or replace it with a new

one.

6. Reinstall the blade by reversing the steps above. Be sure blade

teeth point counterclockwise as shown in Figure 5.

IMPORTANT: Always check the fine depth adjustment when

sharpening or replacing the blade. Adjust if necessary. (See

"Controls" section).

The Controls

The heart of your plate joiner is the base/fence assembly. All of the

controls that let you make a variety of precision cuts are located on this

assembly. Take a few minutes to become familiar with the various

controls.

ALWAYS REMOVE THE BATTERY PACK FROM THE PLATE

JOINER BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS.

1. ADJUSTABLE FENCE

The adjustable fence provides a sturdy, precise reference surface to

determine the point at which the slots for the biscuits will be cut. Its

adjustable height feature allows you to position biscuit slots as close

as 3/16" (4.76mm) and as distant as 1-3/8" (35mm) measured from

the workpiece surface to the centerline of the blade (see Figure 6).

The adjustable angle feature allows a full range of settings from 0° to

90 as well as a reverse 45°bevel which allows outside registration on

miter joints. (See Applications section under Miter Joints, Figure 27.)

The height adjustment is accomplished by first loosening the lock

knob on the right side of the fence and then rotating the knurled

adjustment knob until the desired height is reached (see Figure 6).

Tightening the lock knob will then automatically align the fence

parallel to the blade and lock it in position. The vertical scale and

pointer located directly under the lock knob can be used to assist in

setting this height. The scale readings indicate distance from the

blade centerline to the fence surface when the fence is set at 90°

(see Figure 7). The fence angle can be set simply by loosening the

lock knob on the left side of the tool, aligning the protractor scale with

the pointer and tightening the lock knob.

2. PLUNGE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

The depth of cut can be set to match the dimensions of the particular

size biscuit you will be using. The numbers on the depth adjustment

knob (0,10,20,M) coincide with the three sizes of biscuits shown in

Figure 3. The letter M stands for the maximum depth capacity of the

tool which is 20mm (25/32"). This depth is obtainable only with a new

blade and by backing out the fine adjustment screw (see next

section).

NOTE: The M setting has been provided for future use and will not

be necessary for most biscuiting operations. To select a depth, align

the appropriate number with the red mark scribed in the tool’s

housing, as shown in Figure 7. Rotate the depth adjustment knob to

the desired position and it will “click” into place.

3. FINE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

You may encounter situations where you want to leave a little

looseness in your joint so that you can move it slightly before the

glue sets up. For these instances a fine depth adjustment has been

SHOE

391742/DW931,932 1/22/01 9:10 AM Page 7

English

provided. To adjust, you must first raise the adjustable fence to its

uppermost position. Then insert the T20 torx wrench provided into

the opening as shown in Figure 9. Turn the depth adjustment screw

clockwise for less depth and counterclockwise for increased depth.

Each full turn causes a change in depth of 1mm (0.04"). Always

check the depth adjustment by first making test cuts in scrap wood.

4. ANTI-SLIPPAGE PINS

Plate Joiners tend to slide to the right with respect to the workpiece

when making a cut. This tendency is increased with a dull blade or

when plunging very rapidly. Anti-slippage pins have been provided

to reduce this tendency and are located on the front registration

surface on either side of the blade opening slot. When making some

joints, you may wish to retract the anti-slippage pins so as not to

scratch your workpiece in a visible area. For this purpose, simply

rotate the anti-slippage pins approximately 1/6 of a turn and they will

retract back behind the front registration surface. A flat blade

screwdriver can be used to rotate the pins as shown in Figure 10.

5. BOTTOM REGISTRATION SURFACE

For certain applications, you will want to use the bottom surface of

the plate joiner for alignment. When using the bottom registration

surface, the adjustable fence should be set to 0° and the height

setting is unimportant. This surface is used primarily when making

‘T’ joints (see applications section). The distance between the

centerline of the blade and the bottom registration surface is fixed at

3/8" (9.5mm) which allows centering on 3/4" (19mm) thick stock.

The 3 red marks on the bottom registration surface indicate the

centerline (or the deepest point) of the biscuit cut and the

approximate width of a #20 biscuit so that you’ll know where the

edge of the blade is and can prevent breakthrough. To avoid

breaking through the workpiece, align the shoe so that neither

outside mark extends beyond the end of the workpiece. If either

side does, there is a good chance that the blade will break through

the surface and ruin your work.

6. DUST EXTRACTION

There are three options provided for collecting dust from your plate

joiner as described below.

A. Dust Exhaust Flow Elbow (See Figure 11)

This attachment inserts into the dust exhaust port on the right side

at the rear of the base assembly and clicks into place. To remove,

pull out firmly. The directional elbow rotates easily to aim the dust

in the most convenient direction suitable for the particular

application.

B. Vacuum Hose Adaptor (See Figure 12)

This attachment, when inserted as described above, allows the

use of several common sizes of vacuum hose to be attached for

direct vacuum pick-up of the dust.

C. Dust Bag (See Figure 13)

The dust bag provided fits snugly over the vacuum hose adaptor

as shown. To empty the bag, open the zipper underneath and dump

dust out.

NOTE: When the bag becomes full, the dust will back-up into the

adaptor and the exhaust port on the right rear of the tool. To clean

out, turn off the tool, remove the battery pack and remove packed

dust. The bag will hold the dust generated from approximately 70

to 100 #20 biscuit cuts before filling up.

General Operation

Plate joiners are primarily used for making cabinetry and furniture,

joining millwork or other similar applications where a strong, accurate

joint is required in wood or wood by-products. There are literally

hundreds of variations of joints that can be made with your Plate Joiner.

We will limit our discussion to six basic joints that can be used to build

on and adapt to your own applications. The following are some basic

set-up steps that will apply to all biscuit joints.

1. BISCUIT SIZE SELECTION

As mentioned earlier, the three biscuit sizes are #0, #10 and #20. It

is a good rule of thumb to use the largest biscuit size that will

physically fit in the application. Unless you are joining narrow face

or picture frames or using 1/2" or thinner stock, you will find the #20

biscuit size to suit most applications. After selecting the biscuit

size, set the depth adjustment knob to the corresponding size (see

Controls section). Also, be sure the fine depth adjustment is

correctly set by first testing the fit in a scrap piece. This is extremely

important to determine before glue-up.

2. BISCUIT LOCATION AND LAYOUT

Generally, biscuits may be spaced and located at your discretion.

For edge joints, a good rule of thumb is to space biscuits every 6-10

inches on center. It is further recommended that biscuits be placed

so that the centerline of the end biscuits is 2-3 inches from the end

of the workpiece. When joining face frames or picture frames where

the workpiece is narrow, choose the smaller biscuit sizes to keep

from “breaking out” on the end of the joint. Breaking out should be

avoided if possible, but if not assemble the joint and trim off the

exposed biscuit tip after the glue sets (see Figure 14). When

working with material up to 1" thick, we advise to use a single biscuit

located in the approximate center of the material thickness. If thicker

stock is to be joined, use 2 biscuits across the thickness for greater

strength (see Figure 15). Biscuit locations should be marked by

first positioning the mating pieces exactly as they are to be

assembled. Next, make a mark at 90° to the joint interface across

both pieces at the desired biscuit locations (see Figure 16). See

Application section for more specific information on joint layout. The

marks you make will then be aligned with one of the center

registration marks on the tool, again, depending upon the specific

application.

3. MAKING THE CUT

Prior to making any cut, be sure that all fence adjustments are set

and lock knobs are tight. Also, be sure you have selected the proper

depth setting. Clamp your workpiece firmly. Grasp the grip and

auxiliary handle and position the fence firmly and squarely against

the workpiece. Align the plate joiner’s center registration mark with

391742/DW931,932 1/22/01 9:10 AM Page 10

English

FIG 20

FIG 21

FIG 22

your layout mark. Turn on the tool and let the blade come up to full

speed (approximately 1 second). Plunge the blade until it bottoms

against the stop. Continuing to hold the tool squarely and firmly,

allow the return spring to retract the blade from the work and then

release the switch to shut the tool off. It will take some practice to

obtain a “feel” for the tool to produce accurate joints, so practicing in

scrap wood first is advisable.

4. JOINT ASSEMBLY

After your joints are cut, you may wish to trial fit everything together

before gluing. When you are satisfied with your joints, evenly

spread a small amount of any good quality woodworking glue in

each slot and on the biscuit(s) as well as on the mating flat surfaces

of your joint. Place biscuits in the slots, assemble the joint and

clamp until dry. For a biscuit joint to be most effective, it is important

that the biscuits themselves be in contact with the glue. This is

because the biscuits absorb the moisture in the glue and expand to

form a tight joint.

Applications

1. EDGE TO EDGE JOINTS (SEE FIGURE 17)

This is the simplest to make and most common joint for the plate

joiner. Follow the steps below to produce this joint.

A. Prepare the workpieces and lay them on a work surface exactly as

they are to be assembled.

B. Spacing biscuits 2-3" in from the ends and 6-10" apart, layout the

biscuit centers.

C. Set up the plate joiner by first selecting the proper depth setting. Set

the fence to 90°. Set the height adjustment to position the biscuit in

the approximate center of the work piece thickness.

D. Clamp the workpiece and position the tool so that the center

indicator mark lines up with the first layout mark (see Figure 18).

Turn on the tool and make the plunge cut. Retract the tool and

release the trigger to turn the tool off. Repeat for each layout mark.

E. Glue, assemble and clamp the joint.

F. For stock thicker than 1", you may wish to use double biscuits at

each location. Set the height adjustment to allow at least 3/16" of

stock between the biscuit and the edge of the work surface. Make

all cuts at this fence setting before readjusting the fence for the

lower cuts. Again, there should be at least 3/16" of stock between

the biscuit and the outside surface and between the biscuits

themselves (see Figure 19).

2. FRAME JOINTS (SEE FIGURE 20)

Frame joints are an ideal application for biscuit joinery. With the plate

joiner you can create a very strong, precise joint that is much faster

to make than a dowel or mortise and tenon joint. Figure 20 shows two

types of frame joints. Follow the steps outlined below.

A. Arrange the workpieces on a flat work surface exactly as they are to

be assembled.

B. Select the proper biscuit size based on the length of the joint. (If the

frame pieces are too narrow for a #0 biscuit, you will have to allow the

biscuit tip to protrude slightly and then trim it off after the joint is dry

(see Figure 14).

C. Lay out the biscuit locations.

D. Set up the tool by selecting the depth that corresponds to the chosen

biscuit size. Lock the fence at 90° and adjust the fence height to

center the biscuit on the workpiece thickness.

E. Clamp the workpiece and position the Plate Joiner to make the first

cut (see Figure 21).

F. Turn on the tool and make the plunge cut.

G. Repeat for each layout mark.

H. Glue, assemble and clamp the frame.

3. CORNER JOINTS (SEE FIGURE 22)

Corner joints are another common and excellent application for

biscuit joinery. Follow the procedure below.

A. Arrange the workpieces exactly as they are to be joined.

FIG. 29

B. Select the biscuit size and layout the biscuit locations.

C. Set up the tool by selecting the proper depth setting, adjusting the

fence to center on the workpiece thickness and setting the angle to

90°.

D. For this joint, you will make cuts into the edge of one workpiece

and the face of another. The edge cut is performed the same as for

edge to edge joints. The face cut is made by clamping the

workpiece and aligning the tool as shown in Figure 23. Turn the tool

on, make the plunge cut and repeat for each layout mark.

E. Glue, assemble and clamp the joint.

4. OFFSET JOINTS (SEE FIGURE 24)

You may wish to have a deliberate offset between two workpieces.

This is easily accomplished with your plate joiner by performing the

following steps.

A. Arrange the workpieces as they are to be assembled and layout the

biscuit locations.

B. Set up the tool by selecting the proper biscuit size and adjusting

the fence angle to 90°. Select the workpiece that will be set back

and adjust the fence height to center the cut within the thickness of

that piece.

C. Clamp the workpiece, align the tool and make the plunge cut.

D. Next, adjust the fence up by an amount equal to the desired offset.

Use the scale and pointer located on the right side of the tool under

the fence lock knob.

E. Clamp the second workpiece, align the tool and make the plunge cut.

F. Glue, assemble and clamp the joint.

5. EDGE MITER JOINTS (SEE FIGURE 25-28)

Edge miters are most commonly used in box structures or for

making multisided pedestals where you would like to hide the end

grain. Once again, biscuit joinery is an outstanding method to use

both for added strength as well as ease of assembly. Follow the

steps below to assemble a 90° joint.

391742/DW931,932 1/22/01 9:10 AM Page 13

English

A. Position the workpieces as they are to be assembled and layout

biscuit locations on the outside of the joint.

B. Set up tool by first setting fence angle to 90°. Make the fence

adjustment such that the biscuit is located toward the inside of the

joint where the material is thicker, then select the biscuit size so that

the blade does not protrude through the outside wall when the cut

is made (see Figure 26).

C. Clamp the workpiece and align the tool as shown in Figure 27.

NOTE: Reverse 45˚bevel allows outside registration on miter joints.

The tool is trgistered against the outside surface. (Fig. 28)

D. Turn on the tool and make the plunge cut.

E. Glue, assemble and clamp the joint.

F. For joints other than 90° see outside registration column Figure 30

for proper fence angle setting.

The above method will produce a joint where the outside surfaces of

the joint are aligned. If you wish to produce a joint where the inside

surfaces are aligned, use the following procedures for a 90° joint.

A. Position workpieces as they are to be assembled.

B. Layout biscuit locations on the inside of the angle.

C. Set up tool by setting fence angle to 45°. Set vertical fence

adjustment so that the biscuit is located toward the inside of the joint

where material is thicker. Select biscuit size so that

the blade does not protrude through the outside face of

the material.

D. Clamp the workpiece and align the tool as shown in Figure 29.

E. Make the plunge cut and repeat for all biscuit locations.

F. Glue, assemble and clamp the joint.

G. For joints other than 90° see inside registration column in Figure

30 for proper fence angle setting.

6. T-JOINTS (FIGURE 31)

Biscuit joining is a viable alternative to dadoing when making a T-

“T” JOINTFIG 31 FIG 32

LAYOUT LINE

FIG 33

joint. T-joints are most commonly used when attaching shelves to

the sides of a bookcase. The method described below will work if

your shelf material is at least 5/8" thick.

A. Place the workpieces on a work surface exactly as you will be

assembling them in the form of an upside down “T.” Mark lightly

along the joint where the top of the shelf is to end up (see Figure

31). Mark biscuit locations at the joint interface on the shelf piece

only.

B. Lay the shelf down on the mating workpiece. Clamp the two

workpieces together and to the work surface in this position (see

Figure 32).

C. Set up the tool by selecting the proper biscuit size and setting the

adjustable fence angle at 0°.

D. Using the bottom registration surface (shoe), align the tool with the

biscuit location marks and make a vertical and a horizontal plunge

cut for each biscuit location as shown in Figure 33.

E. Glue, assemble and clamp the joint.

Règles générales de sécurité - Outils à

piles

AVERTISSEMENT! Lire et comprendre toutes les directives, car le

non-respect des directives suivantes peut entraîner un choc électrique,

un incendie ou des blessures graves.

CONSERVER CES DIRECTIVES

ZONE DE TRAVAIL

· Garder la zone de travail propre et bien éclairée; les établis

encombrés et les endroits sombres sont propices aux accidents.

· Ne pas utiliser les outils électriques dans une atmosphère

explosive, comme à proximité de liquides, de gaz ou de

poussières inflammables; le moteur peut créer des étincelles et

enflammer les vapeurs ou les poussières environnantes.

· Tenir les enfants, les visiteurs ou toute autre personne à l’écart

lorsqu’on utilise un outil électrique; les distractions peuvent faire

perdre la maîtrise de ce dernier.

MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ : ÉLECTRICITÉ

· Ne pas utiliser le cordon de manière abusive; on ne doit pas

transporter l’outil en le tenant par le cordon. On doit tenir le cordon à

l’écart des sources de chaleur, de l’huile, des bords tranchants ou des

pièces mobiles. Remplacer immédiatement les cordons endommagés,

car ces derniers augmentent les risques d’incendie.

· Un outil à piles intégrées ou à bloc-piles externe doit être

rechargé seulement au moyen du chargeur approprié, car un

chargeur destiné à une pile particulière peut entraîner un risque

Français

d’incendie lorsqu’il est utilisé avec une autre.

· N’utiliser l’outil à piles qu’avec le bloc-piles désigné, car l’utilisation

d’un autre type de piles peut entraîner un risque d’incendie.

SÉCURITÉ PERSONNELLE

· Rester vigilant en tout temps et faire preuve de jugement

lorsqu’on utilise un outil électrique; ne pas utiliser l’outil lorsqu’on

est fatigué ou sous l’influence de drogues, d’alcool ou de

médicaments, car un moment d’inattention peut entraîner des

blessures graves.

· Porter des vêtements appropriés; ne pas porter de vêtements

amples ni de bijoux. Couvrir ou attacher les cheveux longs. Garder

les cheveux, les vêtements, les bijoux et les gants éloignés des pièces

mobiles, car ceux-ci peuvent s’y coincer.

· Éviter les démarrages accidentels; s’assurer que l’interrupteur soit

placé en position de verrouillage ou d’arrêt avant d’insérer le bloc-piles.

Ne pas transporter l’outil en laissant le doigt sur l’interrupteur ni insérer

le bloc-piles lorsque l’outil est en position de marche, car cela pourrait

causer un accident.

· Retirer les clés de réglage avant de démarrer l’outil; une clé

laissée sur une pièce rotative peut entraîner des blessures.

· Ne pas trop étendre les bras; les pieds doivent rester ancrés

fermement sur le sol afin de maintenir son équilibre en tout temps et de

mieux maîtriser l’outil dans des situations imprévues.

· Utiliser le matériel de sécurité approprié; toujours porter des lunettes

de protection. Porter un masque anti-poussières, des chaussures

antidérapantes, un casque de sécurité ou des protecteurs auditifs

lorsque la situation le requiert.

UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DE L’OUTIL

· Fixer et soutenir l’ouvrage sur une plate-forme stable au moyen

d’un étau ou de tout autre dispositif semblable; l’ouvrage est

instable lorsqu’on le retient manuellement ou qu’on l’appuie contre le

corps, ce qui peut faire perdre la maîtrise de l’outil.

· Ne pas forcer l’outil ni l’utiliser pour des travaux autres que

391742/DW931,932 1/22/01 9:10 AM Page 16

Français

ceux pour lesquels il a été conçu. Pour obtenir de meilleurs résultats

et prévenir les risques de blessure, laisser l’outil couper à la vitesse

pour laquelle il a été conçu.

· Ne pas utiliser l’outil lorsque l’interrupteur de marche-arrêt ne

fonctionne pas; tout outil qui ne peut être commandé au moyen de

l’interrupteur est dangereux et doit être réparé.

· Débrancher le bloc-piles de l’outil ou mettre l’interrupteur en

position de verrouillage ou d’arrêt avant d’effectuer un réglage,

de changer les accessoires ou de ranger l’outil; ces mesures de

sécurité préventives réduisent les risques de démarrage accidentel.

· Lorsqu’on n’utilise pas l’outil, le ranger hors de la portée des

enfants ou des personnes non qualifiées; les outils sont dangereux

entre les mains de personnes inexpérimentées.

· Lorsqu’on n’utilise pas le bloc-piles, le ranger à l’écart des objets

métalliques tels que les trombones, les pièces de monnaie, les

clés, les clous, les vis ou autres petits objets susceptibles de

conduire l’électricité entre les bornes et d’occasionner ainsi des

étincelles, des brûlures ou un incendie.

· Bien entretenir l’outil; s’assurer qu’il soit toujours bien propre et

aiguisé. Les outils bien entretenus et dont les bords sont bien

tranchants sont moins susceptibles de rester coincés et sont plus

faciles à maîtriser.

· Vérifier les pièces mobiles afin de s’assurer qu’elles soient bien

alignées et qu’elles ne restent pas coincées; vérifier également les

pièces afin de s’assurer qu’il n’y ait aucun bris ni aucune autre

condition susceptible de nuire au bon fonctionnement de l’outil. Faire

réparer l’outil si ce dernier est endommagé avant de s’en servir à

nouveau, car les accidents sont souvent causés par des outils mal

entretenus.

· N’utiliser que les accessoires recommandés par le fabricant pour

le modèle concerné; un accessoire destiné à un outil particulier peut

devenir dangereux lorsqu’il est utilisé avec un autre.

ENTRETIEN

· L’outil doit être entretenu ou réparé par le personnel qualifié

seulement; toute maintenance effectuée par une personne non

qualifiée peut entraîner des risques de blessure.

· Lors de l’entretien, n’utiliser que des pièces de rechange identiques et

suivre les directives de la section «Entretien» du présent manuel afin

de prévenir les risques de choc électrique ou de blessure.

Règles de sécurité additionnelles

· Tenir l’outil par les surfaces isolées prévues à cette fin lorsque

l’outil risque d’entrer en contact avec des fils cachés, car de tels

contacts peuvent mettre les pièces métalliques de l’outil sous tension,

engendrant des risques de choc électrique.

· Lorsqu’on est installé sur une échelle ou un échafaudage pour

travailler, on doit déposer l’outil sur le côté lorsqu’on ne s’en sert

plus. Bien que certains outils munis d’un gros bloc-piles puissent être

placés à la verticale, dans cette position, ils peuvent facilement être

renversés.
