DeWalt DC733 Instructions Manual page 35

• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when
disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk
of damage to electric plug and cord.
• Make sure that 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.
• Do not place any object on top of charger
or place the charger on a soft surface that
might block the ventilation slots and result
in excessive internal heat. Place the charger
in a position away from any heat source. The
charger is ventilated through slots in the top and
the bottom of the housing.
• Do not operate charger with damaged cord
or plug — have them replaced immediately.
• Do not operate charger if it has received
a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise
damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized
service center.
• Do not disassemble 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
standard 230V household electrical power.
Do not attempt to use it on any other
voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular
charger.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Chargers
Your DE9116 charger accepts D
NiMH battery packs ranging from 7.2 V to 18 V.
Your DE9118 charger accepts D
packs ranging from 7.2 V to 14.4 V.
The DE9135 charger accepts 7.2 to 18 V NiCd,
NiMH or Li-Ion batteries.
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) into an appropriate outlet
before inserting battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger. 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
NiCd, NiMH and Li-Ion batteries, charge the battery
for a minimum of 10 hours before first use.

Automatic Refresh
(DE9116, DE9135)
The automatic refresh mode will equalise or balance
the individual cells in the battery pack at its peak
capacity. Battery packs should be refreshed weekly
or whenever the pack no longer delivers the same
amount of work.
To refresh your battery pack, place the battery in the
charger as usual. Leave the battery pack for at least
10 hours in the charger.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
WALT NiCd and
E
(DE9116, DE9135)
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot
WALT NiCd battery
E
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.
DANGER: Electrocution hazard.
230 volts present at charging terminals.
Do not probe with conductive objects.
Danger of electric shock or
