Charging A Battery - DeWalt DCPS620 Manual De Instrucciones

Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all
instructions for the battery pack, charger and
power tool. 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 the ones in this manual.
The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to
work together.
These chargers are not intended for any uses other
•
than charging D WALT rechargeable batteries.
e
Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock
or electrocution.
Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
•
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 greater the capacity
of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18
gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using
more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

heat. Place the charger in a position away from any heat
source. The charger is ventilated through slots in the top
and the bottom of the housing.
Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord
•
or plug.
Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp
•
blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any
way. Take it to an authorized service center.
Do not disassemble the charger; take it to an
•
authorized service center when service or repair
is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock, electrocution or fire.
Disconnect the charger from the outlet before
•
attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of
electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce
this risk.
NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
•
The charger is designed to operate on standard
•
120V household electrical power. Do not attempt to
use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the
vehicular charger.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to
get inside the charger. Electric shock may result.

WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not submerge the
battery pack in any liquid or allow any liquid to enter
the battery pack. Never attempt to open the battery
pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the
battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service center
for recycling.

CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only D
Other types of batteries may overheat and burst
resulting in personal injury and property damage.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged into the power supply, the charger can be
shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a
conductive nature, such as, but not limited to, grinding
dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil or any
buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from
the charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from
the power supply when there is no battery pack in the
cavity. Unplug the charger before attempting to clean.

Charging a Battery

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before
inserting battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack
the battery pack is fully seated in the charger. The red
(charging) light will blink continuously indicating that
the charging process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red
14
light remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is
12
fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the
12
charger. To remove the battery pack from the charger,
push the battery release button
and then slide the battery pack out of the charger.
