Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
WARNING: Read all safety warnings,
instructions, and cautionary markings for the
battery pack, charger and product. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or seriousinjury.
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with
any chargers other than a DeWALT charger. DeWALT
chargers and battery packs are specifically designed to
worktogether.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other
than charging DeWALT rechargeable battery packs.
Charging other types of battery packs may cause them to
overheat and burst, resulting in personal injury, property
damage, fire, electric shock orelectrocution.
• Do not expose the charger to rain orsnow.
• Do not allow water or any liquid to entercharger.
• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of
damage to the electric plug andcord.
• Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not
be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected
to damage orstress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in
risk of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.
• 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 electricshock.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the heavier the cord and
thus the greater its capacity. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The following table shows the correct size
to use depending on total length of all extension cords

the cap or in a tool, the pack is one battery at the Watt hour
rating labeled“Use”.
Example battery pack label:
USE: 120 Wh SHIPPING: 3 x 40 Wh
In this example, the battery pack is three batteries with
40Watt hours each when using the cap. Otherwise, the

batteries. The three batteries have the Watt hour rating
labeled “Shipping” on the battery pack. If shipping without
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause
respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms

Battery Pack Cleaning Instructions
Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the
battery pack using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not
use water or any cleaningsolutions.
Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)
Some battery packs include a fuel gauge. When the fuel
gauge button is pressed and held, the LED lights will
indicate the approximate level of charge remaining. This
does not indicate tool functionality and is subject to
variation based on product components, temperature, and
end-userapplication.
Transportation
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store, carry, or
transport the battery pack so that metal objects
can contact exposed battery terminals. For
example, do not place the battery pack in aprons,
pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc.,
with loose nails, screws, keys, coins, hand tools, etc.
When transporting individual battery packs, make
sure that the battery terminals are protected and well
insulated from materials that could contact them
and cause a short circuit. NOTE: Li‑ion battery packs
should not be put in checked baggage on airplanes
and must be properly protected from short circuits if
they are in carry‑onbaggage.
