limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil or any 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.
WARNING:
•
DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones
in this manual.
The charger and battery pack are specifi cally 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 fi re, 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 fi re, 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.
•
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for
safety.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is,
16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up
the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The
following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier the
cord.

Chargers
Your tool uses a D
E
WALT charger. Be sure to read all safety instructions before using your charger.
Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of chargers and battery packs.
Charging Procedure (Fig. 2)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting the battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (B) into the charger, as shown in Figure 2, making sure the pack is fully
seated in charger. The red (charging) light will blink continuously, indicating that the charging
process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light remaining ON continuously. The
pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger.
Charge Indicators
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise. Problems are indicated by
the red light fl ashing at a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert the battery pack into the charger. If the
problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the charger is working properly. If
the new pack charges correctly, then the original pack is defective and should be returned to a
service center or other collection site for recycling. If the new battery pack elicits the same trouble
indication as the original, have the charger and the battery pack tested at an authorized service
center.
HOT/COLD DELAY
This charger has a hot/cold delay feature: when the charger detects a battery that is hot, it
automatically starts a delay, suspending charging until the battery has cooled. After the battery
has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery life. The red light fl ashes long, then short while in the hot/cold delay mode.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the charge indicator showing Pack
Charged.
WEAK BATTERY PACKS:
Weak batteries will continue to function but should not be expected
to perform as much work.
FAULTY BATTERY PACKS:
This charger will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will
indicate faulty battery pack by refusing to light or by displaying problem pack or charger.
NOTE:
This could also mean a problem with a charger.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the
air temperature is between 65 °F and 75 °F (18° – 24 °C). DO NOT charge the battery pack
in an air temperature below +40 °F (+4.5 °C), or above +105 °F (+40.5 °C). This is important
and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the touch while charging. This is a
normal condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery
pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as in a
metal shed or an uninsulated trailer.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a.
Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance;
b.
Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you
turn out the lights;
c.
Move the charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is
approximately 65 °F – 75 °F (18° – 24 °C);
d.
If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local service
center.
4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce suffi cient power on jobs which
were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the
charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no
adverse effect on the battery pack.
5. 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 the charger before attempting to clean.
6. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING:
Shock hazard. Don’t allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock may
result.
CAUTION:
Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the
battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service center for recycling.
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and excess heat
or cold.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged battery pack in a cool dry place
out of the charger for optimal results.
NOTE:
Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of charge. The battery pack will
need to be recharged before use.
