NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING! NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING! NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!
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 (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.
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.
The RBRC® Seal
The RBRC® (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation)
Seal on the nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion
batteries (or battery packs) indicates that the costs to recycle
these batteries (or battery packs) at the end of their useful life
have already been paid by DeWALT. In some areas, it is illegal to
place spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion
batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the Call 2 Recycle®
program provides an environmentally conscious alternative.
Call 2 Recycle, Inc., in cooperation with DeWALT and other battery users, has
established the program in the United States and Canada to facilitate the col-
lection 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 metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries to an
authorized DeWALT service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You
may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop
off the spent battery. RBRC® is a registered trademark of Call 2 Recycle, Inc.
Charger
Be sure to read all safety instructions before using your charger. Consult the
chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of chargers and battery packs.
Charging a Battery (Fig. 1)
1. Plug the charger into an FIG. 1 appropriate outlet before inserting battery
pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger, making sure the battery pack is
fully seated in the 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 battery pack
is fully charged and may be used at
this time or left in the charger.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance
and life of lithium-ion battery packs,
charge the battery pack fully before first
use.
