cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply
when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug 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 charger to rain or snow.
•
Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting
charger.
This will reduce risk of damage to electric plug
and cord.
• Make sure that 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.
•
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.
• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug—
have them replaced immediately.
• Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way.
Take it
to an authorised service centre.
• Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorised
service centre when service or repair is required.
Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution
or fire.
• In case of damaged power supply cord, the supply cord must
be replaced immediately by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similar qualified person to prevent any hazard.
• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before
attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of
electric shock.
Removing the battery pack will not reduce
this risk.
• NEVER attempt to connect two chargers together.
•
The charger is designed to operate on standard
230V household electrical power. Do not attempt to
use it on any other voltage.
This does not apply to the
vehicular charger.

WALT chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be
as easy as possible to operate.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate. Also make sure that the voltage of
your charger corresponds to that of your mains.
i
Your D
e
WALT charger is double insulated in
accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth wire
is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by
