E
WALT battery pack. When ordering replacement
battery packs, be sure to include catalog number and voltage. Consult the chart at the
end of this manual for compatibility of chargers and battery packs.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before using the battery pack
and charger, read the safety instructions below. Then follow charging procedures
outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Inserting or removing the battery
from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Never force battery pack into charger. Do not modify battery pack in any
way to fit into a non-compatible charger as battery pack may rupture
causing serious personal injury
. Consult the chart at the end of this manual for
compatibility of batteries and chargers.
• Charge the battery packs only in D
E
WALT chargers.

temperature may reach or exceed 40
˚
C (105
˚
F) (such as outside sheds or
metal buildings in summer).
DANGER:
Electrocution hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any
reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. Do not
crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has
received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (i.e., pierced
with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Electric shock or electrocution may result.
Damaged battery packs should be returned to service center for recycling.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
•
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash
exposed areas with soap and water.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes,
or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING:
Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause
serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved
respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from
face and body.
WARNING: ALWAYS wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to
ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use.
Under some conditions and duration of use, noise
from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable surface where it
will not cause a tripping or falling hazard.
Some tools with large battery packs will
stand upright on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over.
