D
WALT chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be
e
as easy as possible to operate.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate. Also make sure that the voltage of
your charger corresponds to that of your mains.
Your D
WALT charger is double insulated in
e
accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth wire
is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by
D
WALT or an authorised service organisation.

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
buildup 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 specifically designed to work together.
These chargers are not intended for any uses other than
•
charging D
WALT rechargeable batteries. Any other uses
e
may result in risk of fire, 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 fire,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 fire.
•
In case of damaged power supply cord the supply cord must
be replaced immediately by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similar qualified person to prevent any hazard.
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
•
230V household electrical power. Do not attempt to
use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the
vehicular charger.
