CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only DEWALT rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage. CAUTION: Danger of explosion if internal battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type. • Do not abuse cord. Never carry the radio by its cord. Never pull the cord to disconnect from the socket. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges. • Remove the battery pack. Switch off before leaving it unattended.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS • Never force the battery pack into the charger. Do not modify the battery pack in any way to fit into a non-compatible charger as battery pack may rupture causing serious personal injury. Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of batteries and chargers. • Charge the battery packs only in designated DEWALT chargers. • DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
• 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. • 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.

WEAK BATTERY PACKS: Weak batteries will continue to function but should not be expected to perform as much work. FAULTY BATTERY PACKS: This charger will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery pack by refusing to light or by displaying problem pack or charger.
COMPONENTS (FIG. 2–4) d. If charging problems persist, take the radio, battery pack and charger to your local service center. 5. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no adverse effect on the battery pack. 6.
