1.3 BATTERIES AND CHARGERS

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 charging procedures outlined. When ordering replacement battery packs, be
sure to include the catalog number and voltage.
Your tool uses a DEWALT 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.

1.3.1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL BATTERY PACKS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions for the battery pack, charger and power
tool. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
• Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
• NEVER force battery pack into charger. Do not modify battery pack in any way to fit into a non-
compatible charger as battery pack may rupture causing serious personal injury. Consult the chart at
the end of this manual for compatibility of batteries and chargers.
• Charge the battery packs only in designated DEWALT chargers.
• 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 (104 ˚F) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer). For best life store battery
packs in a cool, dry location.
• NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with the trigger switch locked on. Never tape the trigger
switch in the ON position.
• 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.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the battery pack
case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into the charger. Do not crush, drop or damage the 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). Damaged battery packs
should be returned to the service center for recycling.
1.3.2 TRANSPORTATION
WARNING: Fire hazard. Transporting batteries can possibly cause fire if the battery terminals
inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials. When transporting batteries, make sure that
the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and
cause a short circuit.
DEWALT batteries comply with all applicable 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
