Double Insulation
Double insulated vacuums are constructed throughout with
two separate layers of electrical insulation or one double
thickness of insulation between you and the vacuum's
electrical system. Vacuums built with this insulation system
are not intended to be grounded. As a result, your vacuum
is equipped with a two prong plug which permits you to
use extension cords without concern for maintaining a
ground connection.
nOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal
safety precautions when operating this vacuum. The
insulation system is for added protection against injury
resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure within
the vacuum.
Servicing Of Double-Insulated
Appliances
Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme
care and knowledge of the system, and should be done
only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for
a double-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts
they replace.
Polarized Plugs
Polarized plugs (one blade is wider than the other) are used
on equipment to reduce the risk of electric shock. When
provided, this plug will fit in the polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
•
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
•
ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
•
NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
•
lead from lead-based paints,
•
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
•
arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
•
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/
or disperse dust, which may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face and body.
Additional Specific Safety Rules for All
Battery-Operated Tools
•
A battery-operated tool with integral batteries or a
separate battery pack must be recharged only with
the specified charger for the battery. A charger that
may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of
fire when used with another battery.
•
Use battery-operated tool only with the specifically
designed D
WALT battery pack. Use of any other
e
batteries may create a risk of fire.
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 sparks,
burns, or a fire.
