User manual DEWALT DW245

[. . . ] Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be avoided. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. [. . . ] If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other. ) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. The DW223-220, and DW235-220 units are rated at 230 volts and they are fitted with the 220 volt style plug which is not polarized. â· Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded. â· Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W. " These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. Your DEWALT drill may come with an electronic feature called Anti-Lock Control. It is designed to help you control the drill during a stall and keep it from pulling out of your hands. This may be encountered when drilling in steel or using large bits in wood. As a stall situation presents itself, the motor cycles on and off for a set period of time. This takes up the reaction of the stall and allows you to keep the drill under control. The speed control senses your release of the trigger and resets the motor to run again. [. . . ] If drilling thin material, use a wood "back-up" block to prevent damage to the material. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep the drill biting, but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit. IF THE DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being overloaded or improperly used. [. . . ]
