The RBRC™ Seal
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corp oration) Seal on the nickel cadmium, nickel metal
hydride or lithium ion batteries (or battery packs)
indicate that the costs to recycle these batteries (or
battery packs) at the end of their useful life have
already been paid by D
EWALT. In some areas, it is illegal to place
spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium ion batteries in
the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program
provides an environmentally conscious alternative.
RBRC™ in cooperation with D
EWALT and other battery users,
has established programs in the United States and Canada to
facilitate the collection of spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal
hydride or lithium ion batteries. Help protect our environment and
conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel cadmium
and nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium ion batteries
to an authorized D
EWALT service center or to your local retailer
for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for
information on where to drop off the spent battery.
RBRC™ is a registered trademark of the Rechargeable Battery
Recycling Corporation.
Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important
safety and operating instruc tions for battery chargers.
• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on charger, battery pack, and product using battery
pack.
DANGER: Electrocution hazard. 120 volts are present at charging
terminals. Do not probe with conductive objects. Electric shock or
electrocution may result.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside
charger. Electric shock may result.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only
D
EWALT rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst
causing personal injury and damage.
CAUTION: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in
to 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 batter y
pack are specifically designed to work together.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than
charging D
EWALT rechargeable batteries. Any other uses 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.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
