Specific Safety instructions for Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)
• 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.
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Chargers
• Before using the charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the
charger, battery pack and product using the battery pack.
WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD. Do not allow any liquid to get inside the charger.
Electric shock may result.
CAUTION: BURN HAZARD. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only DeWALT
rechargeable battery packs. Other types of batteries may overheat and burst
resulting in personal injury and property damage.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply,
the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive
nature, such as, but not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum
foil or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from the charger cavities.
Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the
cavity. Unplug the charger before attempting to clean.

SAFETY
• 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 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 table below shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
