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 fl ammable 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 fi t into a non-compatible charger as battery
pack may rupture causing serious personal injury.
• Charge the battery packs only in DEWALT®.
• 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).
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another.
• Do not discard batteries into water.
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. When transporting individual battery packs, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well
insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
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.

1.10 SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM-ION (LI-ION)

1. Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can
explode in a fi re. Toxic fumes and materials are created when lithium-ion battery packs are burned.
2. 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.
3. Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical
attention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be fl ammable if exposed to spark or fl ame.

1.11 RESIDUAL RISKS

In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
– Impairment of hearing
– Risk of personal injury due fl ying particles
– Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot during operation.
– Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
