Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important
safety and operating instructions for battery chargers.
• Before using the charger, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on the charger, battery pack and product using the battery
pack.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to
get inside the charger. Electric shock may result.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only D
e
WALT rechargeable battery packs. Other types of
batteries may overheat and burst resulting in personal injury and
property damage.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into 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 the charger cavities. Always unplug
the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the
cavity. Unplug the 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
e
WALT rechargeable batteries. Any other uses
may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
• Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the
charger. This will reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug and
cord.
• Make sure that the 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.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or
American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number
of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge
has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When
using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure
each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size.
The following table shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery
pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65°F and
English
7

75 °F (18°–24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air
temperature 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. A cold battery pack will charge at about half the rate of a warm
battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate
throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to
maximum charge rate even if the battery pack warms.
4. 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. Move the charger and battery pack to a location where the
surrounding air temperature is approximately 65 °F–75 °F
(18°–24°C);
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, 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. 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 the charger before
attempting to clean.
7. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Don’t allow any liquid to
get inside the charger. Electric shock may result.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not submerge the
battery pack in any liquid or allow any liquid to enter the battery pack.
Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic
housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service
center for recycling.
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from
direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged
battery pack in a cool dry place out of the charger for optimal
results.
