Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions,
and cautionary markings for the battery pack,
charger and product. 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 a D
chargers and battery packs are specifically designed to
work together.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other
than charging D WALT rechargeable battery packs.
e
Charging other types of battery packs may cause them to
overheat and burst, resulting in personal injury, property
damage, fire, electric shock or electrocution.
• Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
• Do not allow water or any liquid to enter charger.
• 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 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.

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 the charger with a damaged cord
or plug. Have them replaced immediately.
• 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.
WALT
e
• 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.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard
120V–127 (low voltage) or 220V–240V (high voltage)
household electrical power. Do not attempt to use
it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the
vehicular charger.
• 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 and
ventilation slots.
• Always unplug the charger from the power supply
when there is no battery pack in the cavity.
Charging a Battery (Fig. C)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet.
2. Insert and fully seat battery pack. Red charging light will
continuously blink while charging.
3. Charging is complete when the red charging light
remains continuously ON. Battery pack can be left in
charger or removed. Some chargers require the battery
pack release button to be pressed for removal.
4. Charger will not charge a faulty battery pack, which
may be indicated by the light staying OFF. Take charger
and battery pack to an authorized service center if light
stays OFF.
NoTE: Refer to label near charging light 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
30–50 switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery pack life.
60–100
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
continuing to blink but with the yellow light continuously

ON. Once the battery pack has reached an appropriate
4,0
temperature, the yellow light will turn OFF and the charger
4,0
will resume the charging procedure.
