DeWalt DCE555 - Residual Risks

30
ENGLISH
Chargers
DeWALT chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be
as easy as possible tooperate.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate. Also make sure that the voltage of
your charger corresponds to that of yourmains.
i
Your DeWALTcharger is double insulated in
accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth wire
isrequired.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by
DeWALT or an authorised serviceorganisation.
Mains Plug Replacement
(U.K.& Ireland Only)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
• Safely dispose of the oldplug.
• Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in theplug.
• Connect the blue lead to the neutralterminal.

WARNING: No connection is to be made to the
earthterminal.
Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs.
Recommended fuse: 3A.
Using an Extension Cable
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use an approved extension cable suitable for the
power input of your charger (see Technical Data). The minimum
conductor size is 1mm
2
; the maximum length is30m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cablecompletely.
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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Be sure that the motor has stopped completely before
you lay the tool down. If the cutter head is still spinning
when the tool is layed down, it could cause injury ordamage.
• Be sure that the bit is clear of the workpiece before
starting motor. If the bit is in contact with the workpiece
when the motor starts it could make the tool jump, causing
damage orinjury.
• If your tool fails to function properly, take it to an
authorized service center. There are no user serviceable
parts inside this tool and it should only be opened by trained
servicepersonnel.
Safety Rules for Cut‑Out Tools
• 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.
• Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock theoperator.

WARNING: After changing bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut is securely tightened
to avoidinjury.

WARNING: Do not press spindle lock or collet lock buttons
while motor is running. The operator may lose control
and drop the tool. Personal injury or serious tool damage
mayresult.

WARNING: Shut off all live electric circuits to any areas
where cut-outs will be made, to avoid fire or serious
personalinjury.

CAUTION: Do not touch the bit or collet nut during or
immediately after cutting material. The bit and collet nut
may be hot enough to burn bareskin.
• Do not run tool while carrying at your side. The
spinning bit may become entangled with clothing and injury
mayoccur.
• Always wear eye protection. Dust mask and hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Using
personal safety devices is recommended. WORK SAFE.
• Always operate the tool with the depth guide in place.
The guide keeps the bit from plunging too deeply through the
material. A minimum of penetration should be maintained to
eliminate the danger of cutting into electricwiring.
• Do not use this tool with drill, screwdriver, or router
bits. This tool is not intended to be used as a drill, screwdriver,
orrouter.
• Be sure your cutting bits are sharp and in good
condition. Damaged bits can cause the tool to jump, injuring
theoperator.
• Never touch the bit immediately after use. It may be
extremelyhot.
• Always follow the bit manufacturer’s speed
recommendations as some bit designs require specific
speeds for safety or performance. If you are unsure of the
proper speed or are experiencing any type of problem, contact
the bitmanufacturer.
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.
