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 DeWALT charger 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.

NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged into the power supply, the exposed charging
contacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign
material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such
• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
working inwood.
• Risk of personal injury due to flyingparticles.
Residual Risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of bandsaws.
• Injuries caused by touching the rotating parts or hot part of
thetool.
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 squeezing fingers when changing theaccessory.
Additional Safety Rules – Portable
Band Saws
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessories contacting
a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
“live” and could give the operator an electricshock.
• Keep hands away from cutting area andblade.
• Always make sure the portable band saw is clean
beforeusing.
• Always cease operation at once if you notice any
abnormalitywhatsoever.
• Always be sure all components are mounted properly
and securely before usingtool.
• Always handle the band saw blade with care when
mounting or removingit.
• Always keep your hands out of the line of the band
sawblade.
• Always wait until the motor has reached full speed
before starting acut.
• Always keep handles dry, clean, and free of oil and
grease. Hold the tool firmly when inuse.
• Always be alert at all times, especially during repetitive,
monotonous operations. Always be sure of position of your
hands relative to theblade.
• Never remove workstop.
• Stay clear of end pieces that may fall after cutting off.
They may be hot, sharp and/or heavy. Serious personal injury
mayresult.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
movingparts.
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 authorised serviceproviders.
