GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, instructions and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) Work Area Safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical Safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal Safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR LIFTERS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions, and have them for future reference. Failure to adhere to these warnings can result in serious injury and damage to equipment.

a) The DCE592 is not designed or intended for climbing or securing people in any way. Using this product for climbing or any other unintended purpose may result in injury or death.
b) If the DCE592 sealing force begins to noticeably decrease while in use, check the rubber foam seal

for wear and tear or damage. Do not attempt to lift anything with the DCE592 until you have replaced the seal.

c) When not in use keep the seal protected with the seal protector. Store the tool in its protective bag/case or store on smooth surface to avoid denting or tearing the seal.

d) Be wary of high winds when lifting large panels.

e) User should wear safety glasses and steel toe safety shoes.

f) Do not lift overhead, and keep area beneath tool and load clear of people, pets and anything that could be damaged at all times.

g) Keep fingers away from vacuum pad while attaching to load, it may pinch while the foam rubber seal is compressing.

h) Must not use tool as a tether anchor for persons or objects.

i) The load capacity for porous materials will be much lower than for nonporous materials and also if being lifted from the vertical orientation or horizontal orientation.

j) Wet conditions may result in lower load capacity.

k) Care must be taken when lifting slippery materials, especially in a vertical orientation, since they could slide off of the lifter.

1) User should use proper lifting technique and positioning to avoid injury.

m) DO NOT use the tool on flexible materials. This includes thin plastic films and sheets. The suction can bend the material against the gasket and break the vacuum seal, resulting in material dropping/breaking.

n) DO NOT use the tool on 1/8" (3 mm) or thinner glass.

Factors that Alter the Vacuum Lifter's Lifting Capacity and Related Limitations.

Several factors known to affect the vacuum lifter's lifting capacity are noted below.

1. Load rigidity. The rigidity may cause the vacuum lifter and the structure to be loaded unevenly. The rigidity may vary depending on orientation.

2. Load strength. Stress induced by the load's own weight and the stress from the vacuum lifter may damage the load.

3. Load surface conditions. Uneven or rough surfaces may affect the foam rubber seal's ability to attach or maintain a seal. Frictional properties may affect the capacity.

4. Load overhang. As the load extends past the supports of the foam rubber seal, the load may be damaged or deflect and peel away from the foam rubber seal.

5. Angle of the load. The effect of the coefficient of friction between the load and foam rubber seal becomes significant when the load is not horizontal. Angling load could cause load to slide off lifter.

6. Number of DCE592's attached to the load. The capacity varies with the number of vacuum lifter fully attached to the load.

7. Load temperature. Elevated or extremely low temperatures may damage the foam rubber seal or affect the function of the seal. Only operate the lifter between 14 °F (-10 °C) and 104 °F (40 °C).

8. High Altitude Warning: Lifting capacity will be reduced at elevations above 4,000 ft (1220 m). Always ensure load

is secure and balanced by performing a test lift before continuing to move the material.

Operating Practices

1. An operator shall not use a lifting device that is tagged "Out of Service" or otherwise designated as nonfunctioning.
2. "Out of Service" tags on lifting devices shall not be removed without the approval of the person placing them or a designated person.
3. The lifter, when not in use, should be stored at an assigned location.
4. Caution should be taken that operation markings, warning labels or tags shall not be removed or defaced. Missing or illegible warning labels or tags shall be replaced.

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 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, grazing, 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 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.
• 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.
  • Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

CAUTION: When not in use, the seal protector should be reinstalled and the tool placed on the

protector. Leaving tool on its side poses a risk of damaging the seal.

  • Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity.

Charging a Battery (Fig. C, D)

NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of Li-Ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before first use.

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting battery pack.
2. Insert and fully seat battery pack. The charging light(s) will continuously blink indicating that the charging process has started.

For 2-Stage Chargers (DCB1102)

Stage 1 Charging: Blink indicator represents the first charge cycle that charges the majority of the battery's capacity. Stage 2 Charging: Blink indicator represents the remainder, or top off charge process, for the battery to reach full capacity.

1. Charging is complete when the charging light(s) remain(s) continuously ON. The battery pack is fully charged and may be removed and used at this time or left in the charger.

NOTE: To remove the battery pack, some chargers require the battery pack release button to be pressed.

WARNING: Only charge batteries in air temperature over 10 °F (4.5 °C) and below 104 °F (40 °C).

Charger will not charge a faulty battery pack, which may be indicated by the charging light(s) staying OFF. Take charger and battery pack to an authorized service center if light(s) stay(s) OFF.

NOTE: Refer to label near charging light(s) on charger for blink patterns. Older chargers may have additional information and/or may not have a yellow indicator light.

Hot/Cold Pack Delay

When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery pack life.

A cold battery pack may charge at a slower rate than a warm battery pack.

The hot/cold pack delay will be indicated by the red light(s) continuing to blink but with the yellow light continuously ON. Once the battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature, the yellow light will turn OFF and the charger will resume the charging procedure.

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.

1. You may charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no adverse effect on the battery pack.

Charger Cleaning Instructions

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

Installing and Removing the Battery Pack (Fig. J)

WARNING: Ensure the tool/appliance is in the off position before inserting the battery pack.

nOTE: For best results, make sure your battery pack is fully charged.

1. To install the battery pack 15 into the tool handle, align the battery pack with the rails inside the tool's handle and slide it into the handle until the battery pack is firmly seated in the tool and ensure that it does not disengage.
2. To remove the battery pack from the tool, press the battery pack release button 16 and firmly pull the battery pack out of the tool handle.

Proper Hand Position (Fig. K)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a sudden reaction.

When being used to hand lift material the proper hand position requires one hand on the main handle 1 with your thumb pointing toward the LED screen 6.

Recommended Materials

WARNING: Always test lift item a few inches to ensure you know the capabilities of the DCE592 on the material that you are lifting.

WARNING: Always attach the DCE592 as close as possible to the center of gravity of the load. Ensure the load is balanced during this test lift.

WARNING: Regardless of material being lifted, keep the vacuum pump in the activated position until it is time to safely release the load.

Typical Porous Materials

• Stone • Drywall
• Timber • Concrete
• Plywood • Cement board

CAUTION: When lifting semiporous materials such as perous stone, timber, plasterboard, some OSB board or concrete, ensure the vacuum pump remains in the on position while lifting.

WARNING: When lifting porous loads the vacuum pump may cycle on and off more frequently. Use extreme caution if the vacuum pump cycles on and off frequently or runs continually as it may not be able to reliably lift the load. Lifting capability will be lower.

CANTION: On very porous materials or materials with fine stresses, the DCE592 will not work. This includes some limestone, dry cast concrete, and most OSB board.

Typical Nonporous Materials

• Glass • Finished fiberglass
• Smooth tile • Plastic
• Marble - Metal

Do Not Use On These Materials

WARNING: DO NOT use the DCE592 for any intended purposes.

WARNING: DO NOT lift materials that are not supposed to be lifted.

• Slate • Plastic sheeting
  • Glass that is less than 1/8" (3 mm) thick

• Rubber or other flexible materials.

WARNING: Do not use on materials like slate, which is created rock. A seal may be created on the top surface, but the layers can separate causing the rest of the material to come away and the vacuum seal to break.
CANTION: When lifting laminated materials like a lower tops the seal may be created on the top surface, but the layers can separate causing the rest of the material to come away and the vacuum seal to break.
CAUTION: Always remove any protective films from the road area where the DCE592 will be attached.
CAUTION: DO NOT use on very thin or brittle surfaces including glass under 1/8" (3 mm) thick. The vacuum pressure can cause the material to flex and break.
CAUTION: DO NOT use on thin plastic sheets, rubber or other flexible materials. The vacuum pressure can pull the material up against the vacuum release valve in the vacuum lifter. This will prevent the release of the material.

1. As the vacuum pressure begins to drop, over time, the vacuum pump will automatically activate until the full vacuum pressure is obtained again.
2. Do not disable the vacuum button 8 until you are ready to release the load.

Lifting Materials (Fig. A, K–N)

WARNING: A single DCE592 offers up to 265 lbs (120 kg) or horizontal lifting force and 132 lbs (60 kg) in vertical lifting force under ideal conditions. Refer to the Intended Use section at beginning of this manual.
WARNING: Using the DCE592 while the battery charge is now 20% may result in serious personal injury and damage to the materials being lifted.
WARNING: Clean intended lifting material of any dust or debris before attempting to lift.
WARNING: When lifting any item ensure the vacuum button 8 remains activated while lifting. DO NOT slide the on/off power switch 2 to the OFF position 21.
WARNING: Inspect foam rubber seal for damage and others for obstructions before each lift. If the vacuum pressure falls faster than expected after the motor stops, the foam rubber seal must be replaced.

WARNING: Check the tool weekly for any signs of discharge or wear. Replace damaged parts before using.

WARNING: DO NOT leave the DCE592 unattended with attached to material.

WARNING: DO NOT use the DCE592 near fire or an open flame.

WARNING: DO NOT use the DCE592 continuously for more than two hours. Suction lifters are only suitable for short-term lifting and carrying of loads.

WARNING: DO NOT use the DCE592 with a crane or any similar equipment.

1. Slide the on/off power switch 2 to the ON position 22.

2. Position the DCE592 with the foam rubber seal 12 flush against the surface of the item you want to lift. Ensure load surface is clean and dry, and place the DCE592 above the center of gravity if possible.

NOTE: If using multiple DCE592's then distribute each lifter roughly equal distance from the center of gravity.

NOTE: Do not place the DCE592 over holes and cracks as a vacuum will not be created or will be quickly lost.

NOTE: On some textured surfaces, you may need to apply pressure to the surface with the DCE592 and the foam rubber seal 12 to help create a seal.

1. After the vacuum button 8 is pressed the vacuum indicators on the LED screen 6 will illuminate green, and if the battery charge is not below 20%, the tool is ready to use.

NOTE: The DCE592 will not allow a lift to begin if the battery state of charge is low. When the low battery chime sounds and the LED screen 6 flashes, the user must immediately set down the load being carried and secure it in place or risk the lifter releasing the load prematurely.

WARNING: In the event of power failure, the DCE592 will hold non-porous materials for up to five minutes.

The DCE592 will not hold porous materials if power fails.

1. Press the vacuum button 8 to start the vacuum pump and create a vacuum seal to the surface of the item you want to lift.

NOTE: You may need to apply some pressure to assist in creating a seal. It may take up to five seconds for the maximum vacuum seal to be created.

1. When the vacuum pump reaches maximum sealing range, the vacuum pump will stop and remain activated. The vacuum seal is engaged and you can lift the item. Ensure the load is balanced. If not release and repeat steps above at a more balanced location.

NOTE: When working on porous materials the vacuum pressure may not reach the maximum range and the vacuum pump will keep on running to maintain vacuum pressure.

WARNING: Before each transport of the lifted load, the seconds hold must be checked at a low height in order to avoid injuries due to falling of the lifted load.

WARNING: DO NOT press the vacuum button again at any time during a lift operation as it will disable the pump pressure maintenance ability.

WARNING: When transporting lifted loads, always choose that there is a clear view to your destination to avoid collisions.

WARNING: Do not swing, shake or impact lifted loads.

1. When you are done lifting the item, set it down and secure it in place then press the vacuum button 8. The four vacuum indicators 18 will flash red. The tool can now be released.

2. Slide the trigger lock button 10 forward and then press and hold the release button 9 to release the material. The four vacuum indicators 18 will stop illuminating in sequence as the pressure drops and the pressure level units will show zero.

3. Remove the tool from the material.
