Storage Recommendations - DeWalt DCN45RN Manual De Instrucciones

English
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 104 °F (40 °C) (such as outside sheds or metal
buildings in summer). For best life store battery packs in
a cool, dry location.
NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with
the trigger switch locked on. Never tape the trigger
switch in the ON position.
• Do not expose battery pack or tool/appliance to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause explosion.
• 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
persist, seek medical attention.

WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be
flammable if exposed to spark or flame.

WARNING: Fire hazard. Never attempt to open the
battery pack for any reason. If the battery pack case
is cracked or damaged, do not insert into the charger.
Do not crush, drop or damage the 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 (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer,
stepped on). Damaged battery packs should be
returned to the service center for recycling.

Storage Recommendations

1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully
charged battery pack in a cool dry place out of the
charger for optimal results.
nOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely
depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be
recharged before use.
Battery Pack Cleaning Instructions
Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the
battery using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use
water or any cleaning solutions.

Fuel Gauge Battery Packs
Some D
consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of
charge remaining in the battery pack.
WALT chargers.
e
The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of
charge remaining in the battery pack according to the
following indicators:
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge
button. A combination of the three green LED lights will
illuminate designating the level of charge left. When the
level of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the
fuel gauge will not illuminate and the battery will need to
be recharged.
nOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left
on the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality
and is subject to variation based on product components,
temperature and end-user application.

WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the
battery pack so that metal objects can contact
exposed battery terminals. For example, do
not place the battery pack 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
in carry-on baggage UNLESS they are properly
protected from short circuits. So when transporting
individual battery packs, make sure that the battery
terminals are protected and well insulated from
materials that could contact them and cause a short
circuit. NOTE: Li-ion batteries should not be put in
checked baggage.
