WARNING: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, maintenance and adjustment (including brush
inspection and replacement, when applicable) should
be performed by a DeWALT factory service center or a
DeWALT authorized service center. Always use identical
replacementparts.
• 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.
• 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 12.0 lbs (5.44Kg).
• 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.
• 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 mounting hole
14

DeWALT Lanyard Ready Attachment Point, available at a

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.
