DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack
•
E
with any chargers other than a D
charger. D
WALT chargers and battery packs are
e
specifically designed to work together.
These chargers are not intended for any uses
•
other than charging D
battery packs. 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 (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the
heavier the cord and thus the greater its capacity.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The following table shows the correct size to use
depending on total length of all extension cords
plugged together, and nameplate ampere rating. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.

Do not place any object on top of the 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 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.
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 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.
