DeWalt DW005 Instruction Manual page 9

as generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the chargers may
temporarily suspend operation, flashing the red light with two fast
blinks followed by a pause. This indicates the power source is out of
limits. Your power supply may need service.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the red light
glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery pack fresh and
fully charged.
NOTE: A battery pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out of the
charger. If the battery pack has not been kept on maintenance charge,
it may need to be recharged before use. A battery pack may also
slowly lose its charge if left in a charger that is not plugged into an
appropriate AC source.
Additional Specific Safety Instructions
When Using DW0247 AC Adapter
• Double insulated tools are equipped with
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do
not change the plug in any way. Double insulation
the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system. Applicable only to Class II (double
insulated) tools.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or
pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor
extension cord marked "W-A" or "W." These cords are rated
for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such
preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
