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. 

 • 

Do not place any object on top of the 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 the charger with a damaged cord or plug.

 • 

Do not operate the 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 the 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.
