DeWalt DCS438 Manual De Instrucciones página 16

English
• 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 D
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.
