The RBRC™ Seal
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corp oration) Seal on the nickel cadmium, nickel metal
hydride or lithium ion 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, nickel metal hydride or lithium ion
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, 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
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 All
Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
This manual contains important
safety and operating instructions for battery chargers.
• Before using the charger, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on the charger, battery pack and product using the
battery pack.
WARNING:
Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside the
charger. Electric shock may result.
CAUTION:
Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only
D
E
WALT rechargeable battery packs. Other types of batteries may
overheat and burst resulting in personal injury and property damage.
NOTICE:
Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into 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 the 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.
•
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 the charger to rain or snow.
•
Pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting
the charger.
This will reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug
and cord.
•
Make sure that the 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.
•
When operating a charger outdoors, always provide a dry
location and use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
