Chargers
DeWALT chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be
as easy as possible tooperate.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a dust extractor. Do
not use a dust extractor while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating dust extractors
may result in serious personalinjury.
Additional Safety Warnings
a ) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off‑position before connecting to battery
pack, picking up or carrying the appliance. Carrying
the appliance with your finger on the switch or energizing
appliance with switch on invitesaccidents.
b ) Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance
before making any adjustments, changing
accessoriesor storing appliance. Vacuum could be
activated by the remote or a paired tool. Unintended
energising of the appliance that has the switch on
invitesaccidents.
c ) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another batterypack.
d ) Use appliance only with DeWALT recommended
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury andfire.
e ) Use power tools and accessories which are
connected to the vacuum in accordance with these
instructions. Use of power tools for applications others
than those intended, can result in hazardoussituations.
f ) 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 burns
or afire.
g ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation orburns.
h ) Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire,
explosion or risk ofinjury.
i ) Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 40°C may causeexplosion.
j ) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or appliance outside of the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of the
specified range may damage the battery and increase the
risk offire.
k ) Do not use the vacuum cleaner if dust is blown out of
the ventilation slots. Switch off the vacuum cleaner
and check whether the filter is installed correctly or is
defective. Defective filters must be replacedimmediately.
l ) Have servicing performed by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the product ismaintained.
Specific Safety Rules for Dust Extractors
• The appliance may only be used by persons who are familiar
with it, have been trained on how to use it safely and who
understand the resultinghazards.
• When picking up dusts with an exposure limit value,
precautions must be taken to ensure adequate air exchange
in the room if the exhaust air from the appliance is released
into theroom.
