Wall Mounting - DeWalt DCM572 Original Instructions Manual

English
A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than a warm
battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate
throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to
maximum charge rate even if the battery pack warms.
The DCB118 charger is equipped with an internal fan
designed to cool the battery pack. The fan will turn on
automatically when the battery pack needs to be cooled.
Never operate the charger if the fan does not operate
properly or if ventilation slots are blocked. Do not permit
foreign objects to enter the interior of the charger.
Electronic Protection System
XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection
System that will protect the battery pack against
overloading, overheating or deep discharge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic
Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the lithium-
ion battery pack on the charger until it is fully charged.

Wall Mounting

These chargers are designed to be wall mountable or to sit
upright on a table or work surface. If wall mounting, locate
the charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and away
from a corner or other obstructions which may impede
air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template for the
location of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount the
charger securely using drywall screws (purchased separately)
at least 25.4 mm long with a screw head diameter of
7–9 mm, screwed into wood to an optimal depth leaving
approximately 5.5 mm of the screw exposed. Align the slots
on the back of the charger with the exposed screws and fully
engage them in the slots.
Charger Cleaning Instructions

WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger
from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease
may be removed from the exterior of the charger using
a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or
any cleaning solutions. Never let any liquid get inside
the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a
liquid.
Battery Packs
Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Packs
When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to
include catalog number and voltage.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton.
Before using the battery pack and charger, read the safety
instructions below. Then follow charging procedures
outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not charge or use battery in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
8
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
• 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 (104 ˚F) (such as outside sheds or metal
buildings in summer).
• 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.

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.

WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the
battery pack so that metal objects can contact
exposed battery terminals. For example, do not
place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes,
product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws,
keys, etc.

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.
Transportation

WARNING: Fire hazard. 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
WALT chargers.
