Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual
contains important safety and operating instruc tions
for the DE9116/DE9135 battery chargers.
• Before using charger, read all instructions and
cautionary markings on charger, battery pack,
and product using battery pack.
DANGER: Electrocution hazard.
230 volts are present at charging
terminals. Do not probe with conductive
objects. Electric shock or electrocution
may result.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow
any liquid to get inside charger. Electric
shock may result.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce
the risk of injury, charge only D
rechargeable batteries. Other types of
batteries may burst causing personal
injury and damage.
CAUTION: Under certain conditions,
with the charger plugged in to the power
supply, the exposed charging contacts
inside the charger can be shorted by
foreign material. Foreign materials of
a conductive nature such as, but not
limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or
any buildup of metallic particles should
be kept away from charger cavities.
Always unplug the charger from the
8
power supply when there is no battery
pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before
attempting to clean.
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack
with any chargers other than the ones in
this manual. The charger and battery pack are
specifically designed to work together.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses
other than charging D
batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of
fire, electric shock or electrocution.
• 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
WALT
E
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.
