Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Packs
When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure
to include the catalog number and voltage.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the
carton. Before using the battery pack and charger,
read the safety instructions below and then follow
the charging procedures outlined.
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 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 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 (105 ˚F) (such
as outside sheds or metal buildings in
summer).
• For best results, make sure the battery pack is
fully charged before use.
WARNING: Never attempt to open
the battery pack for any reason. If
the battery pack case is cracked or
damaged, do not insert it into the
charger. Do not crush, drop or damage
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). Electric shock or electrocution may
result. Damaged battery packs should
be returned to the service centre for
recycling.
CAUTION: When not in use, place
tool on its side on a stable surface
where it will not cause a tripping or
falling hazard. Some tools with large
battery packs will stand upright on the
battery pack but may be easily knocked
over.

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 the area with
mild soap and water. If the 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 persists, seek medical attention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid
may be flammable if exposed to spark
or flame.
Transportation
D WALT batteries comply with all applicable
E
shipping regulations as prescribed by industry and
legal standards which include UN Recommendations
on the Transport of Dangerous Goods; International
Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods
Regulations, International Maritime Dangerous
Goods (IMDG) Regulations, and the European
Agreement Concerning The International Carriage
of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). Lithium-ion
cells and batteries have been tested to section 38.3
of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of
Dangerous Goods Manual of Tests and Criteria.
In most instances, shipping a D
will be excepted from being classified as a fully
regulated Class 9 Hazardous material. In general, the
two instances that require shipping Class 9 are:
1. Air shipping more than two D
battery packs when the package contains only
battery packs (no tools), and
2. Any shipment containing a lithium-ion battery
with an energy rating greater than 100 watt
hours (Wh). All lithium-ion batteries have the
watt hour rating marked on the pack.
Regardless of whether a shipment is considered
excepted or fully regulated, it is the shipper's
responsibility to consult the latest regulations for
packaging, labeling/marking and documentation
requirements.
Transporting batteries can possibly cause fire if the
battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with
conductive materials. When transporting batteries,
