Grounding Instructions - DeWalt DCR017-XE Instruction Manual

WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger/radio.
Electric shock may result.
WARNING: Batteries (battery pack) shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as
sunshine, fire or the like.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only D
rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and
damage.
CAUTION: Danger of explosion if internal battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace
only with the same or equivalent type.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger/radio plugged in to the power
supply, the exposed charging contacts inside the charger/radio 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/radio cavities. Always unplug the charger/radio from the power supply
when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger/radio before attempting to
clean.
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any charger/radio other than
the one in this manual. The charger/radio and battery pack are specifically
designed to work together.
• These charger/radios are not intended for any uses other than charging
D WALT rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric
E
shock or electrocution.
• Do not expose charger/radio to rain or snow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger/radio. 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/radio or place the charger/radio
on a soft surface that might block the ventilation slots and result in excessive
internal heat. Place the charger/radio in a position away from any heat source.
• Do not operate charger/radio with damaged cord or plug — have them
replaced immediately.
• Do not operate charger/radio if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or
otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an authorised service center.
• Do not disassemble charger/radio; take it to an authorised service center
when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock, electrocution or fire.

• Disconnect the charger/radio 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 DCR017 charger/radio 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.

Grounding Instructions

The DCR017 (230 V) charger/radio must be grounded. In the event of malfunction
or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. The charger/radio is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair
or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal. Repairs shall only be performed by a D
service agent. Do not modify the plug provided with the charger/radio – if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a D
FOR GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED CHARGER/RADIO RATED 16A AND LOWER
AND INTENDED FOR USE ON A NOMINAL 230 V SUPPLY CIRCUIT
The charger/radio is for use on a nominal 230 V circuit, and has a grounding plug that
looks like the plug in the following illustration.
