• 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 two chargers together.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard 120 volt
household electrical power. Do not attempt to use it on any
other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger.
Using Automatic Tune-Up™ Mode
The automatic Tune-Up™ Mode equalizes or balances the
individual cells in the battery pack allowing it to function at peak
capacity. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly or after
10 charge/discharge cycles or whenever the pack no longer delivers
the same amount of work. To use the automatic Tune-Up™, place
the battery pack in the charger and leave it for at least 8 hours. The
charger will cycle through the following modes.
1. The red light will blink continuously indicating that the 1-hour
charge cycle has started.
2. When the 1-hour charge cycle is complete, the light will stay on
continuously and will no longer blink. This indicates that the pack
is fully charged and can be used at this time.
3. If the pack is left in the charger after the initial 1-hour charge, the
charger will begin the Automatic Tune-Up™ mode. This mode
continues up to 8 hours or until the individual cells in the battery
pack are equalized. The battery pack is ready for use and can be
removed at any time during the Automatic Tune-Up™ mode.
4. Once the Automatic Tune-Up™ mode is complete, the charger
will begin a maintenance charge; the red indicator will remain lit.
Chargers
Your tool uses a D WALT charger. Be sure to read all safety
E
instructions before using your charger. Consult the chart at the end of
this manual for compatibility of chargers and battery packs.
Fan Cooling (24 Volt Only)
The 24V charger is equipped with an internal fan that provides rapid
cooling of D WALT 24V battery packs. The fan operation is automatic
E
and will turn on when required during battery charging. This procedure
is of great benefit for a pack that has finished a useable cycle. Place
the battery pack into the charger immediately after use so that the fan
can cool the cells and prolong the life of the battery pack.
WARNING: To minimize the risk of eye injury, always use eye
protection. Fan may blow debris from vent area at any time. Keep
face and eyes away from area above vents.
Charging Procedure (Fig. 3)
DANGER: Electrocution hazard. 120 volts are present at charging
terminals. Do not probe with conductive objects. Electric shock or
electrocution may result.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting battery
pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (I) into the charger, as shown in Figure 3,
making sure the pack is fully seated in 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 pack is fully charged and may be
used at this time or left in the charger.
