Additional Safety Information
WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of
it. Damage or personal injury couldresult.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if 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.
• Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas
with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your
mouth, eyes, or lie on the skin may promote absorption
of harmfulchemicals. Direct particles away from face
andbody.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing
protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
during use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearingloss.
• Use the appropriate dust extractor vacuum to remove
the vast majority of static and airborne dust.Failure
to remove static and airborne dust could contaminate the
working environment or pose an increased health risk to
the operator and those in closeproximity.
• Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
Cleaning and Disposal
• All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed
and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of
the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be
changedfrequently.
• Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed
of along with any dust chips or other removal debris.
They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and
disposed of through regular trash pick‑up procedures.
During clean‑up, children and pregnant women should
be kept away from the immediate workarea.
• All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children
should be washed thoroughly before being usedagain.
Specific Safety Warnings and
Instructions:Sanders
Sanding Lead‑Based Paint
Sanding of lead‑based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due
to the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust.
The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and
pregnantwomen.
Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains
lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend the
following precautions when sanding any paint:
Personal Safety
• No children or pregnant women should enter the work
area where the paint sanding is being done until all
clean‑up iscompleted.
• A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons
entering the work area. The filter should be replaced daily
or whenever the wearer has difficultybreathing.
NOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead
paint dust and fumes should be used. Ordinary painting
masks do not offer this protection. See your local hardware
dealer for the proper (NIOSH approved)mask.
• NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in
the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint
particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE
eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or
smoking should not be left in the work area where dust
would settle onthem.
Environmental Safety
• Paint should be removed in such a manner as to
minimize the amount of dustgenerated.
• Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed
with plastic sheeting of 4milsthickness.
• Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking
of paint dust outside the workarea.
cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use
gloves to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods,
and limit daily time ofuse.
• Sanding of lead‑based paint, chemically pressure
treated lumber or other materials that may contain
carcinogens is not recommended. Sanding of these
materials should only be performed by aprofessional.
• ALWAYS disconnect tool from the power source
before changing abrasive belts. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
toolaccidentally.
• ALWAYS maintain a firm grip with both hands on the
belt sander handles to prevent loss ofcontrol.
• ALWAYS keep fingers away from the moving belt
and areas where the belt enters the housing to avoid
severeabrasion.
• Do not operate belt sander without all guards and
covers securely inplace.
• To avoid injury, do not use this tool in a stand that
would invert it for use as a stationary belt sander. This
tool is not made for thatapplication.

Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions,
and cautionary markings for the battery pack,
charger and product. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or seriousinjury.
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with
any chargers other than a DeWALT charger. DeWALT
chargers and battery packs are specifically designed to
worktogether.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other
than charging DeWALT rechargeable battery packs.
Charging other types of battery packs may cause them to
overheat and burst, resulting in personal injury, property
damage, fire, electric shock orelectrocution.
• Do not expose the charger to rain orsnow.
• Do not allow water or any liquid to entercharger.
• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of
damage to the electric plug andcord.
• Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not
be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to
damage orstress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in
risk of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.
• When operating a charger outdoors, always provide
a dry location and use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electricshock.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the heavier the cord and
thus the greater its capacity. 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 total length of all extension cords
plugged together, and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heaviergauge.

Wall Mounting
Some DeWALT chargers are designed to be wall mountable
or to sit upright on a table or work surface.If wall mounting,
locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and
away from a corner or other obstructions which may impede
air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template for the
location of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount the
charger securely using drywall screws (purchased separately)
at least 1” (25.4mm) long, with a screw head diameter of
0.28–0.35” (7–9mm), screwed into wood to an optimal
ON. Once the battery pack has reached an appropriate
temperature, the yellow light will turn OFF and the charger
will resume the chargingprocedure.
DCB118 and DCB1112 Chargers
The DCB118 and DCB1112 chargers are equipped with
an internal fan designed to cool the battery pack. The fan
will turn on automatically when the battery pack needs to
becooled.
Never operate the charger if the fan does not operate
properly or if ventilation slots are blocked. Do not permit
foreign objects to enter the interior of thecharger.
Electronic Protection System
Li‑ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection
System that will protect the battery pack against overloading,
overheating or deep discharge. The tool will automatically
turn off and the battery pack will need to berecharged.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is
between 65° F – 75° F (18°C– 24° C). DO NOT charge
when the battery pack is below 40° F (4.5° C), or above
104° F (40° C). This is important and will prevent serious
damage to the batterypack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the
touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of
the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or
battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal
shed or an uninsulatedtrailer.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp
or other appliance;
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light
switch which turns power off when you turn out
thelights;
c. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery
pack and charger to your local servicecenter.
4. You may charge a partially used pack whenever you
desire with no adverse effect on the batterypack.
Charger Cleaning Instructions
WARNING:Shock hazard. Disconnectthe charger
from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease
may be removed from the exterior of the charger using
a cloth or soft non‑metallic brush. Do not use water or
any cleaningsolutions.

1) Sécurité du lieu de travail
a ) Tenir l’aire de travail propre et bien éclairée.
Les lieux encombrés ou sombres sont propices
auxaccidents.
b ) Ne pas faire fonctionner d’outils électriques
dans un milieu déflagrant, tel qu’en présence de
liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables.
Les outils électriques produisent des étincelles qui
pourraient enflammer la poussière ou lesvapeurs.
c ) Éloigner les enfants et les personnes à proximité
pendant l’utilisation d’un outil électrique. Une
distraction pourrait en faire perdre la maîtrise
àl’utilisateur.
2) Sécurité en matière d’électricité
a ) Les fiches des outils électriques doivent
correspondre à la prise. Ne jamais modifier la
fiche d’aucune façon. Ne jamais utiliser de fiche
d’adaptation avec un outil électrique mis à la
terre. Le risque de choc électrique sera réduit par
l’utilisation de fiches non modifiées correspondant
àlaprise.
b ) Éviter tout contact physique avec des surfaces
mises à la terre comme des tuyaux, des radiateurs,
des cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs. Le risque de
choc électrique est plus élevé si votre corps est mis
àlaterre.
c ) Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à la pluie ou
à l’humidité. La pénétration de l’eau dans un outil
électrique augmente le risque de chocélectrique.
d ) Ne pas utiliser le cordon de façon abusive. Ne
jamais utiliser le cordon pour transporter, tirer
ou débrancher un outil électrique. Tenir le
cordon éloigné de la chaleur, de l’huile, des bords
tranchants et des pièces mobiles. Les cordons
endommagés ou enchevêtrés augmentent les risques
de chocélectrique.
e ) Pour l’utilisation d’un outil électrique à l’extérieur,
se servir d’une rallonge convenant à cette
application. L’utilisation d’une rallonge conçue pour
l’extérieur réduira les risques de chocélectrique.
f ) S’il est impossible d’éviter l’utilisation d’un
outil électrique dans un endroit humide,
brancher l’outil dans une prise ou sur un circuit
d’alimentation dotés d’un disjoncteur de fuite à
la terre (GFCI). L’utilisation de ce type de disjoncteur
réduit les risques de chocélectrique.
3) Sécurité personnelle
a ) Être vigilant, surveiller le travail effectué et faire
preuve de jugement lorsqu’un outil électrique est
utilisé. Ne pas utiliser d’outil électrique en cas de
fatigue ou sous l’influence de drogues, d’alcool ou
de médicaments. Un simple moment d’inattention en
utilisant un outil électrique peut entraîner des blessures
corporellesgraves.
b ) Utiliser des équipements de protection
individuelle. Toujours porter une protection
oculaire. L’utilisation d’équipements de protection
comme un masque antipoussière, des chaussures

propres et libres de graisse et de poussière. Les
mains et les surfaces de prise glissante ne permettent
pas la manutention et le contrôle sécuritaires de l’outil
dans les situationsimprévues.
5) Utilisation et entretien du bloc‑piles
a ) Ne recharger l’outil qu’au moyen du chargeur
précisé par le fabricant. L’utilisation d’un chargeur
qui convient à un type de bloc‑piles risque de
provoquer un incendie s’il est utilisé avec un autre type
de bloc‑piles.
b ) Utiliser les outils électriques uniquement avec
les blocs‑piles conçus à cet effet. L’utilisation de
tout autre bloc‑piles risque de causer des blessures ou
unincendie.
c ) Lorsque le bloc‑piles n’est pas utilisé, le tenir
éloigné des objets métalliques, notamment
des trombones, de la monnaie, des clés, des
clous, des vis ou autres petits objets métalliques
qui peuvent établir une connexion entre les
deux bornes. Le court‑circuit des bornes du bloc‑piles
risque de provoquer des brûlures ou unincendie.
d ) En cas d’utilisation abusive, le liquide peut gicler
hors du bloc‑piles; éviter tout contact avec ce
liquide. Si un contact accidentel se produit, laver
à grande eau. Si le liquide entre en contact avec
les yeux, obtenir également des soins médicaux.
Le liquide qui gicle hors du bloc‑piles peut provoquer
des irritations ou desbrûlures.
e ) Ne pas utiliser de bloc‑piles ou outil qui a été
endommagé ou modifié. Les unités endommagées
ou modifiées peuvent avoir une réaction imprévisible
résultant en un incendie, une explosion ou un potentiel
deblessure.
f ) Ne pas exposer de bloc‑piles ou l’outil aux
flammes ou à des températures excessives.
L’exposition aux flammes ou à une température
au‑dessus de 130°C (265°F) pourrait causer
uneexplosion.
antidérapantes, un casque de sécurité ou des
protecteurs auditifs lorsque la situation le requiert
réduira les risques de blessurescorporelles.
c ) Empêcher les démarrages intempestifs. S’assurer
que l’interrupteur se trouve à la position d’arrêt
avant de relier l’outil à une source d’alimentation
et/ou d’insérer un bloc‑piles, de ramasser ou de
transporter l’outil. Transporter un outil électrique
alors que le doigt repose sur l’interrupteur ou brancher
un outil électrique dont l’interrupteur est à la position
de marche risque de provoquer unaccident.
d ) Retirer toute clé de réglage ou clé avant de
démarrer l’outil. Une clé ou une clé de réglage
attachée à une partie pivotante de l’outil électrique
peut provoquer des blessurescorporelles.
e ) Ne pas trop tendre les bras. Conserver son
équilibre en tout temps. Cela permet de mieux
maîtriser l’outil électrique dans les situationsimprévues.
f ) S’habiller de manière appropriée. Ne pas porter
de vêtements amples ni de bijoux. Garder les
cheveux, les vêtements et les gants à l’écart des
pièces mobiles. Les vêtements amples, les bijoux ou
les cheveux longs risquent de rester coincés dans les
piècesmobiles.
g ) Si des composants sont fournis pour le
raccordement de dispositifs de dépoussiérage
et de ramassage, s’assurer que ceux‑ci sont bien
raccordés et utilisés. L’utilisation d’un dispositif de
dépoussiérage peut réduire les dangers engendrés par
lespoussières.
h ) Ne pas laisser votre connaissance acquise suite
l’utilisation fréquente des outils vous permettre
de baisser la garde et ignorer les principes de
sécurité de l’outil. Un acte irréfléchi peut causer une
blessure grave en une fraction deseconde.
4) Utilisation et entretien d’un
outilélectrique
a ) Ne pas forcer un outil électrique. Utiliser l’outil
électrique approprié à l’application. L’outil
électrique approprié effectuera un meilleur travail,
de façon plus sûre et à la vitesse pour laquelle il
aétéconçu.
b ) Ne pas utiliser un outil électrique dont
l’interrupteur est défectueux. Tout outil électrique
dont l’interrupteur est défectueux est dangereux et doit
êtreréparé.
c ) Débranchez la fiche de la prise électrique et, si
amovible, retirez le bloc‑piles de l’outil avant
d’effectuer tout ajustement, changement et
entreposage de celui‑ci. Ces mesures préventives
réduisent les risques de démarrage accidentel de
l’outilélectrique.
d ) Ranger les outils électriques hors de la portée
des enfants et ne permettre à aucune personne
n’étant pas familière avec un outil électrique ou
son mode d’emploi d’utiliser cet outil. Les outils
électriques deviennent dangereux entre les mains
d’utilisateursinexpérimentés.
