SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM ION (LI-ION)
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn
out. The battery pack can explode in a re. Toxic fumes and materials are created when
lithium ion battery packs are burned.
• If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with mild
soap and water. If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15
minutes or until irritation ceases. Additionally, seek medical attention. The battery electrolyte
is composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If
symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to re or excessive temperature. Exposure
to re or temperature above 266 °F (130 °C) may cause explosion.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be ammable if exposed to spark or ame.
TRANSPORTATION
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the battery pack so that metal objects can
contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place the battery pack in
aprons, pockets, toolboxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws,
keys, etc. Transporting batteries can possibly cause res if the battery terminals
inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and
the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR)
actually prohibits transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (e.g., packed in
suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits.
So, when transporting individual battery packs, make sure that the battery terminals are
protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
SHIPPING THE DEWALT®FLEXVOLT®BATTERY
The DEWALT®FLEXVOLT®battery has two modes: Use and Shipping.
• Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT®battery stands alone or is in a DEWALT®20V Max* product,
it will operate as a 20V Max* battery. When the FLEXVOLT®battery is in a 60V Max** or a
120V Max* (two 60V Max** batteries) product, it will operate as a 60V Max** battery.
• Shipping Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLT®battery, the battery is in
Shipping Mode. Strings of cells are electrically disconnected within the pack resulting in
three batteries with a lower watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to one battery with a higher
Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of three batteries with the lower watt hour rating
can exempt the pack from certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher
Watt hour batteries. The battery label indicates two-Watt Hour Ratings (see example).
Depending on how the battery is shipped, the appropriate Whr rating must be used to
determine the applicable shipping requirements. If utilizing the shipping cap, the pack will
be considered 3batteries at the Whr indicated for “Shipping”. If shipping without the cap or in
a tool, the pack will be considered one battery at the Watt hour rating indicated next to “Use”.
* indicating 18.2V when inserted into tool.
** indicating 54V when inserted into tool.
Example of Use and Shipping Label Marking
For example, shipping Wh rating might indicate 3 x 40 Wh, meaning 3 batteries of 40-Watt hours
each. The Use Wh rating might indicate 120-Watt hour (1 battery implied).
USE: 120 Wh Shipping: 3 x 40 h

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL BATTERY CHARGERS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions for the battery pack, charger and
power tool. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/ or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important safety and operating instructions
for battery chargers.
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any charger other than a compatible
DEWALT®charger. The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work together.
• This charger is not intended for any uses other than charging designated DEWALT®
rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
• Do not expose the charger to direct water source and DO NOT immerse in water.
• 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.

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.
.4If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Make sure power source is working by plugging a different appliance to the same source
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 65–75F (18-24C)
d. If charging problems persist, take the battery pack and charger to your local service
center.
.5The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufcient power on jobs
which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use the pack under these
conditions. You may also charge a partially used pack with no adverse effect on the battery
pack.
.6Foreign 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 before attempting
to clean.
.7Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any other liquid.

suspending charging until the battery has cooled/warmed. After the
battery has returned to its functional temperature range, the charger
automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature
ensures maximum battery life.
Faulty Battery Packs
This charger will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will
indicate faulty battery pack by displaying an X on the LCD battery
image. If this occurs, re-insert the battery pack into the charger. If
the problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the
charger is working properly. If the new pack charges correctly, then
the original pack is defective and should be returned to a service
center or other collection site for recycling. If the new battery pack
elicits the same trouble indication as the original, have the charger
and the battery pack tested at an authorized service center.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn the appliance off and disconnect it from the power
outlet when not in use and when making repairs. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit; take it
to an authorized service center when service or repair is required.
