Wall Mounting
Some DeWALT chargers are designed to be wall mountable
or to sit upright on a table or work surface.If wall mounting,
locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and
away from a corner or other obstructions which may impede
air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template for the
location of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount the
charger securely using drywall screws (purchased separately)
at least 1” (25.4mm) long, with a screw head diameter of
0.28–0.35” (7–9mm), screwed into wood to an optimal
depth leaving approximately 7/32” (5.5 mm) of the screw
exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the
exposed screws and fully engage them in theslots.

FUTURE USE
overheating or deep discharge. The tool will automatically
turn off and the battery pack will need to berecharged.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature
is between 65°F – 75°F (18° C– 24°C). DO NOT charge
when the battery pack is below 40°F (4.5°C), or above
104°F (40°C). This is important and will prevent serious
damage to the batterypack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the
touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of
the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or
battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal
shed or an uninsulatedtrailer.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp
or other appliance;
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch
which turns power off when you turn out thelights;
c. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery
pack and charger to your local servicecenter.
4. You may charge a partially used pack whenever you
desire with no adverse effect on the batterypack.
Charger Cleaning Instructions

WARNING:Shock hazard. Disconnectthe
charger from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and
grease may be removed from the exterior of the charger
using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use
water or any cleaningsolutions.
• 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.
• 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
15
. The red charging
light(s) will continuously blink whilecharging.
3. Charging is complete when the red charging light(s)
remain(s) continuously ON. Battery pack can be left in
charger or removed. Some chargers require the battery
pack release button
16
to be pressed forremoval.

WARNING: Only charge batteries in air
temperature over 40° F (4.5° C) and below 104° F (40°C).
4. Charger will not charge a faulty battery pack, which may
be indicated by the charging light(s) staying OFF. Take
charger and battery pack to an authorized service center
if light(s) stay(s)OFF.
NOTE: Refer to label near charging light(s) on charger
for blinkpatterns. Older chargers may have additional
information and/or may not have a yellow indicatorlight.
NOTE: To remove the battery pack, some chargers
require the battery pack release button
16
to bepressed.
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
switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery packlife.
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(s)
continuing to blink and with the yellow light continuously
ON. Once the battery pack has reached an appropriate
temperature, the yellow light will turn OFF and the charger
will resume the chargingprocedure.
Fan-Cooled Chargers
Some chargers are equipped with an internal fan designed
to cool the battery pack. The fan will turn on automatically
when the battery pack needs to becooled.
Never operate the charger if the fan does not operate
properly or if ventilation slots are blocked. Do not permit
foreign objects to enter the interior of thecharger.
Electronic Protection System
Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection
System that will protect the battery pack against overloading,
