Important Safety Instructions for
Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important
safety instructions for battery chargers.
• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on charger, battery pack, and product using battery
pack.
_ WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside
charger.
_CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge
only DEWALT batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing
personal injury and damage.
_&CAUTION: 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,
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 DEWALT 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.
• 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. When using more
than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each
individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size.
• Do not place any object on top of charger or place the
charger on a soft surface that might block the ventilation
