BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
•
Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fi re when used with another battery pack.
•
Use power tools only with specifi cally designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury
and fi re.
•
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or
other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fi re.
•
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, fl ush
with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
1.7
SERVICE
•
Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL BATTERY CHARGERS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for compatible battery chargers
(refer to Technical Data).
•
Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on charger, battery pack, and product using battery pack.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock may result.
WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only DEWALT® rechargeable batteries. Other types of
batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
CAUTION: Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply, the exposed charging contacts inside the
charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool,
aluminum foil or any build-up of metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the
power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug 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 specifi cally 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 fi re, electric shock or electrocution.
•
Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
•
Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord.
•
Make sure that 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 fi re, electric
shock, or electrocution.
•
Do not place any object on top of charger or place the charger on a soft surface that might block the ventilation slots and result
in excessive internal 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 charger with damaged cord or plug—have them replaced immediately.
•
Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an
authorised service centre.
•
Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorised service centre when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may
result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fi re.
•
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 two chargers together.
•
The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (refer to charger specifi cations). Do not attempt to
use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger.
