markings on charger, battery pack, and product using battery
pack.

WALT rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may
burst causing personal injury and damage.
NOTICE:
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, 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 charger before attempting to clean.

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.

Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
•
When operating a charger outdoors, always provide a dry
location.
•
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.
