•
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 DEWALT rechargeable
batteries.
Any other uses may
result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
•
Do not expose charger
to rain or snow.
•
Puff 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.
•
When operating a power
tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• An extension
cord must
have adequate
wire size (AWG
or American
Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge
number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is
16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the
total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to
use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.

Not Recommended
•
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.
•
Do not operate charger flit 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 reassemb/y
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 two chargers together.
•
The charger is designed to operate on standard 120 volts
household electrical power. Do not attempt to use it on any
other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger.
