Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual
contains important safety and operating instruc tions
for the DE9000 battery charger.
• Before using charger, read all instructions and
cautionary markings on charger, battery pack,
and product using battery pack.
DANGER: Electrocution hazard.
230 volts are present at charging
terminals. Do not probe with conductive
objects. Electric shock or electrocution
may result.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow
any liquid to get inside charger. Electric
shock may result.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce
the risk of injury, charge only D
E
WALT
rechargeable 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 exposed charging contacts
inside 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 D
E
WALT 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.
