User manual DEWALT DC985KA

[. . . ] A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. D) 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. E) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery, avoid contact. 6) SERVICE a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. [. . . ] RBRCTM in cooperation with DEWALT and other battery users, has established programs in the United States to facilitate the collection of spent nickel-cadmium batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel-cadmium battery to an authorized DEWALT service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery. Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on charger, battery pack, and product using battery pack. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only DEWALT nickel cadmium rechargeable batteries. â· Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorized service center when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire. â· Disconnect the charger from the outlet before attempting any cleaning. Your battery can be charged in DEWALT 1 Hour Chargers, 15 Minute Chargers or Vehicular 12 volt charger. Consult the chart on the back cover of this manual for compatibility of chargers and battery packs. When changing the position of the control button, be sure the trigger is released. NOTE: The first time the tool is run after changing the direction of rotation, you may hear a click on start up. Your tool has an adjustable torque screwdriver mechanism for driving and removing a wide array of fastener shapes and sizes and in some models, a hammer mechanism for drilling into masonry. Circling the collar (C) are numbers, a drill bit symbol, and in some models, and a hammer symbol. The higher the number on the collar, the higher the torque and the larger the fastener which can be driven. To select any of the numbers, rotate until the desired number aligns with the arrow. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting battery pack. The pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger. The three speed feature of your tool allows you to shift gears for greater versatility. To select speed 1 (highest torque setting), turn the tool off and permit it to stop. Always allow the drill to come to a complete stop before changing gears. [. . . ] When drilling deep holes, if the hammer speed starts to drop off, pull the bit partially out of the hole with the tool still running to help clear debris from the hole. Select the desired speed/torque range using the 3 speed gear shift lever on the top of tool to match the speed and torque to the planned operation. Insert the desired fastener accessory into the chuck as you would any drill bit. Make a few practice runs in scrap or unseen areas to determine the proper position of the clutch collar. [. . . ]
