Charging Procedure - DeWalt DCS391 Manual De Instrucciones

An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG
or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge
number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is,
16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the
total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to
use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.

• Do not place any object on top of the 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 the charger with a damaged cord or plug.
• Do not operate the 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 the 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 120V
household electrical power. Do not attempt to use it on any
other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger.
Chargers
Your tool uses a DEWALTcharger. Be sure to read all safe,/instructions
before using your charger. Consult the chart at the end of this manual
for compatibility of chargers and battery packs.
Charging Procedure (Fig. 1)
1. Plug the charger into an FIG. 1 C
appropriate outlet before inserting
the battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (C)
into the charger, as shown in
Figure 1, making sure the pack
is fully seated in 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.
