CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only D
E
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.
•
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.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
• 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.
• Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or
otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized service center.
• Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorized service center when
service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock, electrocution or fire.
• 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 2 chargers together.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard 230 V household electrical
power. Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the
vehicular charger.
