can exempt the pack from certain shipping regulations that
are imposed upon the higher Watt hour batteries.
The battery label indicates two Watt hour ratings (see
example). Depending on how the battery is shipped, the
appropriate Watt hour rating must be used to determine the
applicable shipping requirements. If utilizing the shipping
cap, the pack will be considered 3 batteries at the Watt hour
rating indicated for "Shipping". If shipping without the cap or
in a tool, the pack will be considered one battery at the Watt
hour rating indicated next to "Use".
Example of Use and Shipping Label Marking
USE: 120 Wh Shipping: 3 x 40 Wh
For example, Shipping Wh rating might indicate 3 x 40 Wh,
meaning 3 batteries of 40 Watt hours each. The Use Wh
rating might indicate 120 Wh (1 battery implied).
Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)
Some D WALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which
e
consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of
charge remaining in the battery pack.
The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of
charge remaining in the battery pack according to the
following indicators:
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge
button. A combination of the three green LED lights will
illuminate designating the level of charge left. When the
level of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the
fuel gauge will not illuminate and the battery will need to
be recharged.
Fig. B
nOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left
on the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality
and is subject to variation based on product components,
temperature and end-user application.

it is illegal to place spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal
hydride or lithium-ion batteries in the trash or municipal
solid waste stream and the Call 2 Recycle® program provides
an environmentally conscious alternative.
Call 2 Recycle, Inc., in cooperation with D
battery users, has established the program in the United
States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel
cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries. Help
protect our environment and conserve natural resources by
returning the spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or
lithium-ion batteries to an authorized D
or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact
your local recycling center for information on where to drop

Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers

WARNING:
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 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 batteries.
e
Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock
or electrocution.
Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
•
Pull by the plug rather than the cord when
•
disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of
damage to the electric plug and cord.
Make sure that the 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 charger outdoors, always provide
•
a dry location and 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
