DANGER:

 Electrocution Hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any 

reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. Electric 

shock or electrocution may result. Damaged battery packs should be returned to 

service center for recycling.

NOTE:

 Battery storage and carrying caps are provided for use whenever

 

the battery is out of the tool or charger. Remove cap before placing 

battery in charger or tool.

WARNING: Fire Hazard. Do not store or carry battery so that 

metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals.

 For example, 

do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, 

etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. without battery cap. 

Transporting batteries 

can possibly cause fires 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 prohibit 

transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e., packed in suitcases and 

carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when 

transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected 

and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.

CAUTION: 

Battery pack must be securely attached to tool. If battery pack is 

detached, personal injury may result.

The RBRC™ Seal

The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corp oration) Seal on the

 

nickel cadmium and nickel metal hydride batteries (or battery packs) 

indicate that the costs to recycle these batteries (or battery packs) at 

the end of their useful life have already been paid by D

E

WALT. In some 

areas, it is illegal to place spent nickel cadmium and nickel metal 

hydride batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the 

RBRC program provides an environmentally conscious alternative.
RBRC™ in cooperation with D

E

WALT and other battery users, has established 

programs in the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel 

cadmium and nickel metal hydride batteries. Help protect our environment and 

conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel cadmium and nickel metal 

hydride batteries 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.

Important Safety Instructions for Battery Packs

 Your tool uses a D

E

WALT battery pack. When ordering replacement battery packs, 

be sure to include catalog number and voltage. Extended Run-Time battery packs 

deliver more run-time than standard battery packs. Consult the chart at the end of this 

manual for compatibility of chargers and battery packs.

NOTE:

 Your tool will accept either standard or Extended Run Time battery packs. 

However, be sure to select proper voltage. Batteries slowly lose their charge when 

they are not on the charger, the best place to keep your battery is on the charger at all 

times.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before using the battery pack 

and charger, read the safety instructions below. Then follow charging procedures 

outlined.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

 • 

Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is 

completely worn out.

 The battery pack can explode in a fire.

 • 

A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may occur under extreme 

usage or temperature conditions. 

This does not indicate a failure. However, if 

the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your skin:
a.  Wash quickly with soap and water.
b.  Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
c.   If battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for a 

minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention. 

(

Medical Note: 

The liquid is 25–35% solution of potassium hydroxide.)

  •  Charge the battery packs only in D

E

WALT chargers.

  •

 DO NOT

 splash or immerse in water or other liquids.

  •  Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the 

temperature may reach or exceed 40

˚

C (105°F) (such as outside sheds or 

metal buildings in summer).
