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.
•
Take care to ensure that the charger
is standing in a steady, secure
position.
A falling battery or charger
may present a risk of injury to yourself
and/or others.
•
The location at which the charger is
used should be clean and dry.
Use in a
dirt or wet area could result in risk of fire,
electric shock, or electrocution.
•
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.
•
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 electrical shock, electrocution or fire.
•
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.
Chargers
D

WALT
chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be
as easy as possible to operate.
Electrical Safety
The charger 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.
Your
D
e
WALT
charger is double insulated in
accordance with IEC60335; therefore no earth wire
is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by
D
e
WALT
or an authorised service organisation.
WARNING:
We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
Using an Extension Cable
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use an approved extension cable suitable for
the power input of your charger (see
Technical Data
). The
minimum conductor size is 1 mm
2
; the maximum length
is 30 m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.
