Wall Mounting
Some D
e
WALT chargers are designed to be wall mountable
or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall mounting,
locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and
away from a corner or other obstructions which may impede
air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template for the
location of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount the
charger securely using drywall screws (purchased separately)
at least 1” (25.4 mm) long, with a screw head diameter of
0.28–0.35” (7–9 mm), screwed into wood to an optimal
depth leaving approximately 7/32” (5.5 mm) of the screw
exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the
exposed screws and fully engage them in the slots.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE USE
may be removed from the exterior of the charger using
a cloth or soft non‑metallic brush. Do not use water or
any cleaning solutions.
