DeWalt DW079 Original Instructions Manual page 43

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: Under certain conditions,
with the charger plugged in to 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
rechargeable batteries. Any 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
WALT result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or
E
fire.
• 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 2 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.

NiCd, NiMH and Li-Ion batteries, charge the battery
for a minimum of 10 hours before first use.
