Important Safety Instructions for All Battery
Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains
important safety and operating instructions for
compatible battery chargers (refer to Technical Data).
• Before using charger, read all instructions and
cautionary markings on charger, battery pack, and
product using battery pack.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid
to get inside charger. Electric shock may result.
WARNING: We recommend the use of a
residual current device with a residual current rating of
30mA or less.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only D WALT rechargeable batteries. Other
e
types of batteries may burst causing personal injury
and damage. CAUTION: Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged into the power supply, the exposed charging
contacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign
material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such
as, but not limited to, 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 WALT rechargeable batteries. Any
e
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.
• 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— have them replaced immediately.
• 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.
• 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 electric
shock, electrocution or fire.
• In case of damaged power supply cord the supply
cord must be replaced immediately by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified
person to prevent any hazard.
• 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 two chargers together.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard
230V household electrical power. Do not attempt to
use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to
the vehicular charger.
