Personal Safety; Operating Tips - DeWalt DW083 Manual De Instrucciones

• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children.
• Remove batteries if the device will not be used for
several months.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool
while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Tool Use and Care
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
•
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on
another tool.
Service
• 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.

Operating Tips

• Use only new, high-quality batteries for best results.
• Ensure batteries are in good working condition. If the
low battery indicator light is flashing, the batteries
need replacement.
• To extend battery life, turn laser off when not working with or
marking the beam.
• To ensure the accuracy of your work, check to make sure your
laser is calibrated often. See Field Calibration Check.
• Before attempting to use the laser, make sure it is positioned
securely, on a smooth, flat surface.
• Always mark the center of the dot or pattern created by
the laser.
• Extreme temperature changes may cause movement of
internal parts that can affect accuracy. Check your accuracy
often while working. See Field Calibration Check.
• If the laser has been dropped, check to make sure your laser is
calibrated. See Field Calibration Check.
Low Battery Indicator (Fig. B)
The DW083 is equipped with a low battery indicator
shown in Figure B. The red indicator light is located on top of
the tool. When the light flashes, the batteries are low and need
to be replaced. The laser may continue to operate for a short
time while the batteries continue to drain. After fresh batteries
are installed and the laser is turned on again, the red indicator
light will stay off. (A flashing laser beam is not caused by low
batteries; see Out of Tilt Range Indicator.)
