D
eWALT rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst
causing personal injury and damage.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to
the power supply, the charger can be shorted by foreign material.
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 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
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 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.
