DeWalt DCF805 Original Instructions Manual page 9

• 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). 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 knocked
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
is composed of a mixture of liquid organic
carbonates and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause
respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If
symptoms persists, seek medical attention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid
may be flammable if exposed to spark
or flame.
Transportation
D WALT batteries comply with all applicable
e
shipping regulations as prescribed by industry and
legal standards which include UN Recommendations
on the Transport of Dangerous Goods; International
Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods
Regulations, International Maritime Dangerous
WALT
e
Goods (IMDG) Regulations, and the European
Agreement Concerning The International Carriage
of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). Lithium-ion
cells and batteries have been tested to section 38.3
of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of
Dangerous Goods Manual of Tests and Criteria.
In most instances, shipping a D
will be excepted from being classified as a fully
regulated Class 9 Hazardous material. In general, the
two instances that require shipping Class 9 are:
1. Air shipping more than two D
battery packs when the package contains only
battery packs (no tools), and
2. Any shipment containing a lithium-ion battery
with an energy rating greater than 100 watt
hours (Wh). All lithium-ion batteries have the
watt hour rating marked on the pack.
Regardless of whether a shipment is considered
excepted or fully regulated, it is the shipper's
responsibility to consult the latest regulations for
packaging, labeling/marking and documentation
requirements.
Transporting batteries can possibly cause fire if the
battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with
conductive materials. When transporting batteries,
make sure that the battery terminals are protected
and well insulated from materials that could contact
them and cause a short circuit.
The information provided in this section of the
manual is provided in good faith and believed to be
accurate at the time the document was created.
However, no warranty, expressed or implied, is
given. It is the buyer's responsibility to ensure that its

BATTERY TYPE
The DCF805 operate on 10.8 V battery pack.
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and
dry away from direct sunlight and excess heat
or cold. For optimum battery performance and
life, store battery packs at room temperature
when not in use.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a
fully charged battery pack in a cool, dry place
out of the charger for optimal results.
