be kept away from charger cavities.
Always unplug the charger from the
power supply when there is no battery
pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before
attempting to clean.
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack
with any chargers other than the ones in
this manual. The charger and battery pack are
specifically designed to work together.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses
other than charging D
WALT rechargeable
E
batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of
fire, electric shock or electrocution.
• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when
disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk
of damage to electric plug and cord.
• Make sure that 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.
• Do not place any object on top of 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 charger with damaged cord
or plug — have them replaced immediately.
• Do not operate 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 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 230V household electrical power.
Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage.
This does not apply to the vehicular charger.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Transporting
D
WALT Li-Ion battery packs comply with the
E
necessary testing requirements under the UN
Manual of Tests and Criteria (ST/SG/AC.10/11/Rev.3
Part III, Subsection 38.3) as referenced in the UN
Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods.
- The battery packs have effective protection
against internal overpressure and short-ciruiting.
- Appropriate measures have been provided for
prevention of forced rupture and dangerous
reverse current.
- The equivalent lithium content is below the
relevant limit value.
D
WALT Li-Ion battery packs are exempted from
E
national and international regulations applicable to
dangerous goods. However, these regulations
become relevant when transporting several battery
packs together.
• Make sure that battery packs are packed
according to the dangerous goods regulations as
mentioned above to prevent short-circuiting.
Chargers
The DE9000 charger accepts 28 V and 36 V Li-Ion
batteries.
This charger requires no adjustment and is designed
to be as easy as possible to operate.
Charging Procedure (fi g. A, B)
DANGER: Electrocution hazard.
230 volts present at charging terminals.
Do not probe with conductive objects.
Danger of electric shock or electrocution.
1. Plug the charger (13) into an appropriate outlet
before inserting battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger. The
charger is equipped with a three-light fuel gauge
that will blink according to the state of charge of
the battery pack.
3. The completion of charge is indicated by the
three red lights remaining ON continuously. The
pack is fully charged and may be used at this
time or left on the charger.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of
Li-Ion batteries, charge the battery for a minimum of
10 hours before first use.
