ENGLISH
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
• DO NOT store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature
may reach or exceed 104° F (40° C) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in
summer). For best life store battery packs in a cool, dry location.
NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with the trigger switch locked on. Never
tape the trigger switch in the ON position.
WARNING: FIRE HAZARD. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason.
If the battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into the charger. Do
not crush, drop or damage the battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger
that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (e.g.,
pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery packs should be
returned to the service center for recycling.
WARNING: FIRE HAZARD. Do not store or carry the battery pack so that metal
objects can contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place the battery
pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose
nails, screws, keys, etc. Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery
terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys,
coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous
Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on
airplanes (e.g., packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are properly
protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual battery packs, make
sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that
could contact them and cause a short circuit.
Specific Safety instructions for Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)
• DO NOT incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely
worn out. The battery pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are
created when lithium ion battery packs are burned.
• If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with
mild soap and water. If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open
eye for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed, the
battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and
lithium salts.
SAFETY
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air.
If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
WARNING: BURN HAZARD. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark or
flame.
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Chargers
• Before using the charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the
charger, battery pack and product using the battery pack.
WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD. Do not allow any liquid to get inside the charger.
Electric shock may result.
CAUTION: BURN HAZARD. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only DeWALT
rechargeable battery packs. 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.
• 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 DeWALT
rechargeable batteries. 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.
