established programs in the United States and Canada to facilitate
the collection of spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium
ion batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural
resources by returning the spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride
or lithium ion batteries to an authorized D
to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local
recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery.

Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important
safety and operating instruc tions for battery chargers.
• 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.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only
D WALT rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst
E
causing personal injury and damage.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to the
power supply, the charger can be shorted by foreign material. 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 charger before attempting to clean.
WALT and other battery users, has

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 specifically designed to work together.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than
charging D WALT rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may
E
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.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, 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 smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.
