WALT and other battery users, has established programs in the
United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride
or lithium ion batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning
the spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium ion batteries to an authorized D

Chargers
Be sure to read all safety instructions before using your charger. Consult the chart at the end of this
manual for compatibility of chargers and battery packs.
Charging Procedure (Fig. 2)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting the battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger, as shown in Figure 2, making sure the pack is fully
seated in the charger. The red (charging) light will blink continuously indicating that the charging
process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light remaining ON continuously. The pack
is fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger.

Charge Indicators
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise. Problems are indicated by the red
light flashing at a fast rate. 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.
HOT/COLD DELAY
This charger has a hot/cold delay feature: when the charger detects a battery that is hot, it
automatically starts a delay, suspending charging until the battery has cooled. After the battery
has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery life. The red light flashes long, then short while in the hot/cold delay mode.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the charge indicator showing pack
charged.
WEAK BATTERY PACKS:
Weak batteries will continue to function but should not be expected to
perform as much work.
FAULTY BATTERY PACKS:
This charger will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will
indicate faulty battery pack by refusing to light or by displaying problem pack or charger.
NOTE:
This could also mean a problem with a charger.
PROBLEM POWER LINE
Some chargers have a Problem Powerline indicator. When the charger is used with some portable
power sources such as generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the charger may temporarily
suspend operation, flashing the red light with two fast blinks followed by a pause. This indicates the
power source is out of limits.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air
temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18° – 24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an
air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important and will
prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the touch while charging. This is a normal
condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after
use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal shed
or an uninsulated trailer.
3. A cold battery pack will charge at about half the rate of a warm battery pack. The battery
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.
4. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a.
Check operation of the receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance;
b.
Check to see if the receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns the 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°F – 75°F (18° – 24°C);
d.
If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local service
center.
5. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which
were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use it under these conditions. Follow the
charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no
adverse effect on the battery pack.
6. Foreign 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 when there is no battery pack in the
cavity. Unplug the charger before attempting to clean it.
7. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING:
Shock hazard. Don’t allow any liquid to get inside the charger. Electric shock may
result.
WARNING:
Burn hazard. Do not submerge the battery pack in any liquid or allow any liquid to
enter the battery pack. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing
of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return it to a service center for recycling.
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and excess heat
or cold.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged battery pack in a cool dry place
out of the charger for optimal results.

DIRECTIVES DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES PROPRES À
TOUS LES CHARGEURS DE PILES
CONSERVER CES INSTRUCTIONS :
ce manuel contient des directives importantes de sécurité
et d’utilisation relatives au chargeur de blocs-piles.
• Avant d’utiliser le chargeur, lire toute consigne et tout avertissement apposés sur le chargeur, le
bloc-piles et le produit utilisant le bloc-piles.
AVERTISSEMENT :
risques de chocs électriques. Ne laisser aucun liquide pénétrer dans le
chargeur, des chocs électriques pourraient en résulter.
ATTENTION :
risques de brûlure. Pour réduire tout risque de dommages corporels, ne recharger
que des blocs-piles rechargeables D
E
WALT. Tout autre type de bloc-piles pourrait surchauffer et
éclater posant ainsi des risques de dommages corporels et matériels.
AVIS :
sous certaines conditions, lorsque le chargeur est connecté au secteur, des matériaux
étrangers pourraient court-circuiter le chargeur. Les corps étrangers conducteurs tels que (mais
pas limité à) poussières de rectification, débris métalliques, laine d’acier, papier d’aluminium ou toute
accumulation de particules métalliques doivent être maintenus à distance des orifices du chargeur.
Débrancher systématiquement le chargeur lorsque le bloc-piles n’y est pas inséré. Débrancher
systématiquement le chargeur avant tout entretien.
•
NE PAS tenter de charger de bloc-piles avec des chargeurs autres que ceux décrits
dans ce manuel.
Le chargeur et son bloc-piles ont été conçus tout spécialement pour
fonctionner ensemble.
•
Ces chargeurs n’ont pas été conçus pour une utilisation autre que recharger les blocs-
piles rechargeables D
E
WALT.
Toute autre utilisation comporte des risques d’incendie, de
chocs électriques ou d’électrocution.
•
Protéger le chargeur de la pluie ou de la neige.
•
Tirer sur la fiche plutôt que sur le cordon pour débrancher le chargeur.
Cela permet de
réduire les risques d’endommager la fiche ou le cordon d’alimentation.
•
S’assurer que le cordon est protégé de manière à ce que personne ne marche ni ne
trébuche dessus, ou à ce qu’il ne soit ni endommagé ni soumis à aucune tension.
•
N’utiliser une rallonge qu’en cas de nécessité absolue.
L’utilisation d’une rallonge
inadéquate comporte des risques d’incendie, de chocs électriques ou d’électrocution.
•
Pour utiliser un chargeur à l’extérieur, le placer dans un endroit sec et utiliser une
rallonge conçue pour l’extérieur.
L’utilisation d’une rallonge conçue pour l’extérieur réduit les
risques de chocs électriques.
•
Pour la sécurité de l’utilisateur, utiliser une rallonge de calibre adéquat (AWG,
American Wire Gauge [calibrage américain normalisé des fils électriques]).
Plus le
calibre est petit, et plus sa capacité est grande. Un calibre 16, par exemple, a une capacité
supérieure à un calibre 18. L’usage d’une rallonge de calibre insuffisant causera une chute de
tension qui entraînera perte de puissance et surchauffe. Si plus d’une rallonge est utilisée pour

Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of charge. The battery pack will
need to be recharged before use.
