ENGLISH
• Inspect tool and lanyard before each use for
damage and proper function (including fabric
and stitching). Do not use if damaged or not
functioningproperly.
• Do not alter the lanyard attachment point or
use in a manner other than as instructed in
thismanual.
• Only attach tool to a lanyard with a locking
carabiner. Do not attach by looping or knotting
the lanyard. Do not use rope orcord.
• Electrical shock hazard. Be sure power is off when
working in high voltage areas. Some lanyards
areconductive.
• Dropped tools will swing on the lanyard, which
could cause injury or loss ofbalance.
• Do not carry the tool by the attachment point, the
battery strap or thelanyard.
• Do not attach more than one tool to eachlanyard.
• Only use appropriate
DeWALT
brand lanyard‑
ready attachment kit. NEVER modify tools to
create attachmentpoints.
• Only transfer the tool between hands while
properly balanced in a stableorientation.
• Do not attach lanyards to tool in a way that
keeps guards, switches or lock‑offs from
operatingproperly.
• Avoid getting tangled in thelanyard.
• Keep lanyard away from the cutting area of
thetool.
• Do not use lanyards or attachment devices to get
additional leverage from thetool.
• Do not use for personal fallprotection.
• Falling object hazard! Only change batteries,
accesories and attachments where a dropped
object won't cause a hazard below you. Consult
your Authority Having Jurisdication (AHJ) or site
supervisor for procedures for working atheight.
• Do not use the charger or contractor bag
atheight.
• Use multi‑action or screw gate type carabiners. Do
not use single action spring clip carabiners.
The lanyard-ready attachment kit is intended for use by
competent personnel who are trained and knowledgeable
regarding working with tools in and around machinery
and "at height". A lanyard-ready attachment kit may only
be added to certain models and must be installed by an
authorized servicecenter.
The lanyard attachment point
11
is for attaching
appropriate lanyards with locking carabiner ends for use at
height, 6.5 ft (2 m) maximum length, rated for at least the
weight identified on the tool lanyard attachment point label.
Refer to FigureD.

lanyard-ready attachment kit installed.
Safety Warnings Specific for Use At Height

WARNING:
• Only use batteries that contain the integral battery
strap. Do not use unsecured batteries while the
tool is tethered. Unsecured batteries may detach
from the tool if dropped.
• If the tool is dropped for any reason, the lanyard
attachment point and battery strap components
must be inspected and properly serviced prior to
re‑use. The lanyard attachment point is designed
to stretch to absorb the shock of a drop. Any
permanent stretch to the device exposing the
red marked internal coils indicates it has been
compromised and must be serviced prior to reuse.
• Always keep the tool and accessories tethered
when working "at height". (Maximum lanyard
length: 6.5 ft [2m].)
• Use only with lanyards appropriate for this tool
type and rated for at least the weight identified on
the tool lanyard attachment point label.
• Crush, cut or entanglement hazard. Do
not use near moving parts, mechanisms or
runningmachinery.
• Do not anchor the tool lanyard to anything on
your body. Anchor to a rigid structure that can
withstand the forces of a droppedtool.
• Make sure the lanyard is properly secure at each
end prior touse.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start‑up can causeinjury.
Wall Mounting
Some
DeWALT
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.
