• Charge the battery packs only in designated DEWALT chargers.
• 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 40 °C (104 °F) (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 incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out.
The battery pack can explode in a fi re. Toxic fumes and materials are created when lithium-
