IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
BATTERY CHARGERS
Save these instructions: This manual
contains important safety and operating
instructions for battery chargers.
• Before using the charger, read and
understand all instructions and cautionary
markings on the charger, battery pack and
product using the battery pack.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow
any liquid to get inside the charger. Electric
shock may result.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the
risk of injury, charge only DEWALT®
rechargeable battery packs. Other types of
batteries may overheat and burst resulting
in personal injury and property damage.
Notice: When battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal objects.
Alternatively, with the charger plugged into the
power supply, the charger can be shorted or
ignited by foreign material. Foreign materials
or metal objects 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
the charger cavities at all times.
Always unplug the AC/DC power adaptor from
the outlet and remove the battery pack from
the battery pack receptacle before attempting
to clean the charger.
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery
pack with any charger other than a
compatible DEWALT® charger. The
charger and battery pack are specifically
designed to work together.
• This charger is not intended for any
uses other than charging designated
DEWALT® rechargeable batteries. Any
other uses may result in risk of fire, electric
shock or electrocution.
• Do not expose the charger to direct water
source and DO NOT immerse in water.
• Pull by the plug rather than the cord
when disconnecting the charger. This will
reduce the risk of damage to the electric
plug and cord.

• Make sure that the 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 charger outdoors,
always provide a dry location and use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.

received a sharp blow, been dropped or
otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to
an authorized service center.
• Do not disassemble the charger; take
it to an authorized service center when
service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric
shock, electrocution or 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
24 VDC. Do not attempt to use it with
any other power supply AC/DC power
adaptor other than that supplied with the
appliance.
STORAGE
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. When possible store in cool and dry
conditions, away from direct sunlight and

2. For long-term storage, it is recommended
storing a fully charged battery pack in
a cool dry place, out of the charger, for
optimal battery life.
 Note: Battery packs should not be stored
completely depleted of charge. The battery
pack will need to be recharged before use.
