• 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.
Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of
batteries and chargers.
• 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 105 °F (40 °C)
(such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
WARNING: Fire hazard. 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). Damaged battery packs should be returned to
service center for recycling.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry battery so
that metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals.
For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes,
product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc.
Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery
terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive
materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US
Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR)
actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes
(i.e., packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are
properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual
batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well
insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short
circuit.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM ION (Li-Ion)
• 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.
The RBRC™ Seal
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corp oration) Seal on the nickel cadmium, nickel metal
hydride or lithium ion batteries (or battery packs)
indicate that the costs to recycle these batteries
(or battery packs) at the end of their useful life have
already been paid by D WALT. In some areas, it is illegal to place
E
spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium ion batteries
in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program
provides an environmentally conscious alternative.
RBRC™, in cooperation with DeWALT and other battery users, has
established programs in the United States and Canada to facilitate
the collection of spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or
lithium ion batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve
natural resources by returning the spent nickel cadmium, nickel
