Charging Process; Important Safety Instructions For All Battery Packs - DeWalt DCF610 Manual

These chargers require no adjustment and are
designed to be as easy as possible to operate.
Charging Procedure (fi g. 2)
1. Plug the charger (k)
before inserting battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack
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.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of
Li-Ion batteries, charge the battery pack fully before
first use.

Charging Process

Refer the table below for the state of charge of the
battery pack.

Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot
or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack
Delay, suspending charging until the battery has
reached an appropriate temperature. The charger
then automatically switches to the pack charging
mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life.
LI-ION BATTERY PACKS ONLY
Li-Ion batteries are designed with an Electronic
Protection System that will protect the battery
against overloading, overheating or deep discharge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic
Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the
Li-Ion battery on the charger until it is fully charged.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Do not charge or use battery in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting
or removing the battery from the charger may
ignite the dust or fumes.
Never force battery pack into charger. Do
not modify battery pack in any way to fit into
a non-compatible charger as battery pack
may rupture causing serious personal injury.
Charge the battery packs only in D
chargers.
DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other
liquids.
Do not store or use the tool and battery
pack in locations where the temperature
may reach or exceed 40˚ C (105° F) (such as
outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
WARNING: Never attempt to open the
battery pack for any reason. If battery
pack case is cracked or damaged,
do not insert into charger. Do not
crush, drop or damage battery pack.
Do not use a battery pack or charger
that has received a sharp blow, been
dropped, run over or damaged in any
way (i.e., pierced with a nail, hit with a
hammer, stepped on). Electric shock
or electrocution may result. Damaged
battery packs should be returned to
service centre for recycling.
CAUTION: When not in use, place
tool on its side on a stable surface
where it will not cause a tripping or
falling hazard. Some tools with large
battery packs will stand upright on the
battery pack but may be easily
over.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM ION
(Li-Ion)
Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it
is severely damaged or is completely worn
out. The battery pack can explode in a fire.
Toxic fumes and materials are created when
lithium ion battery packs are burned.
If battery contents come into contact with
the skin, immediately wash area with mild
soap and water. If battery liquid gets into the
eye, rinse water over the open eye for
15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical
attention is needed, the battery electrolyte
