RBRC™ in cooperation with D
E
WALT and other battery users, has established
programs in the United States to facilitate the collection of spent lithium ion batteries.
Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the spent
lithium ion battery to an authorized D
E
WALT service center or to your local retailer for
recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where
to drop off the spent battery.

Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from direct sunlight and
excess heat or cold.
2. Long storage will not harm the battery pack or charger. Under proper conditions,
they can be stored for 5 years or more.
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 D
E
WALT 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 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.
•
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 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.
• Do not mount charger on wall or permanently affix charger to any surface.
The
charger is intended to use on a flat, stable surface (i.e., table top, bench top).
•
Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug
— have them replaced
immediately.
•
Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or
otherwise damaged in any way.
Take it to an authorized service center.
•
Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorized service center when
service or repair is required.
Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock, electrocution or fire.
