Recharge only with the DWST1-75659-
QW / DWST1-75663-GB / DWST1-75664
XEintegrated charger, or equivalent. A charger
that is suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
NOTE: The battery pack is not fully charged
out of the carton. Before using the battery
pack and charger, read the safety instructions
in the following section and then follow the
charging procedures.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
•
DO NOT charge or use the battery
pack in explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or
removing the battery pack from the
charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
•
NEVER force the battery pack into the
charger. DO NOT modify the battery
pack in any way to fit into a non-
compatible charger as battery pack
may rupture causing serious personal
injury.
•
Charge the battery packs only in
designated D
WALT chargers.
E
•
DO NOT immerse in water or other liquids.
•
DO NOT store or use the appliance 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). For best life
store battery packs in a cool, dry location.
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.
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,
42
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 (e.g., packed in suitcases and
carry-on luggage) 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.
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. Additionally, seek
medical attention. 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.
•
DO NOT expose a battery pack
or appliance to fire or excessive
temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may
cause explosion.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid
may be flammable if exposed to spark or
flame.
Important Safety Instructions for
All Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual
contains important safety and operating
instructions for battery chargers.
•
Before using the charger, read and
understand all instructions and
cautionary markings on the charger,
battery pack and product using the
battery pack.
WARNING: Shock hazard. DO NOT
allow any liquid to get inside the charger.
Electric shock may result.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce
the risk of injury, charge only D
WALT
E
rechargeable battery packs. Other types
of batteries may overheat and burst
resulting in personal injury and property
damage.
NOTICE: When battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal objects.
Alternatively, with the charger plugged
into the power supply, the charger can be
shorted or ignited by foreign material. Foreign
materials or metal objects of a conductive
nature, such as, but not limited to, grinding
dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil
or any buildup of metallic particles should
be kept away from the charger cavities at all
times.
Always unplug the AC/DC power adaptor
from the outlet and remove the battery pack
from the battery pack receptacle before
attempting to clean the charger.
•
DO NOT attempt to charge the battery
pack with any chargers other than
a compatible D
WALT charger. The
E
charger and battery pack are specifically
designed to work together.
•
This charger is not intended for any
uses other than charging D
WALT
E
rechargeable batteries. Any other uses
may result in risk of fire, electric shock or
electrocution.
•
Do not expose the charger to direct
water source and DO NOT immerse in
water.
•
Pull by the plug rather than the cord
when disconnecting the charger.
This will reduce the risk of damage to the
electric plug and cord.
English
•
Make sure that the cord is located
so that it will not be stepped on,
tripped over or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
•
DO NOT use an extension cord unless
it is absolutely necessary. Use of
improper extension cord could result in
risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
•
When operating a charger outdoors,
always provide a dry location and use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
•
DO NOT place any object on top of the
charger. Place the charger in a position
away from any heat source.
•
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
24 VDC. Do not attempt to use it with
any other power supply AC/DC power
adaptor other than that supplied with
the appliance.
