DeWalt DWDO14S-XE, Instruction Manual

b)  Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. 

Protective 

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing 

protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c)   Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position 

before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or 

carrying the tool. 

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or 

energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d)  Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. 

A 

wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in 

personal injury.

e)   Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 

This 

enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f)   Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, 

clothing and gloves away from moving parts. 

Loose clothes, jewellery or 

long hair can be caught in moving parts. 

g)  If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection 

facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. 

Use of dust 

collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a)  Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your 

application. 

The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate 

for which it was designed.

b)  Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. 

Any 

power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must 

be repaired.

c)   Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from 

the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, 

or storing power tools. 

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of 

starting the power tool accidentally.

d)  Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow 

persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the 

power tool. 

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e)  Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, 

breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s 

operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. 

Many 

accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f)   Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 

Properly maintained cutting tools with 

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g)   Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with 

these instructions taking into account the working conditions and the work 

to be performed. 

Use of the power tool for operations different from those 

intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) SERVICE

a)  Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only 

identical replacement parts. 

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool 

is maintained.

Electrical Safety

The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always check that the 

power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. 230 V AC means your 

tool will operate on alternating current. As little as 10% lower voltage can cause loss 

of power and can result in overheating. All D

E

WALT tools are factory tested; if this 

tool does not operate, check the power supply. Your D

E

WALT tool is double insulated, 

therefore no earth wire is required.
