• Do not operate the 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 the 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 2 chargers together.

220V household electrical power. Do not attempt to use
it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular

Chargers
Your tool uses a D
WALT charger. Be sure to read all safety
e
instructions before using your charger.
Charging Procedure (Fig. 1)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting the
battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (F) into
the charger, as shown in Figure

seated in charger. The red
(charging)
light
will
blink
continuously, indicating that the

Charge Indicators
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise.
Problems are indicated by the red light flashing at a fast rate. If this
occurs, re-insert the battery pack into the charger. If the problem
persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the charger is
working properly. If the new pack charges correctly, then the original
pack is defective and should be returned to a service center or other
collection site for recycling. If the new battery pack elicits the same
trouble indication as the original, have the charger and the battery
pack tested at an authorized service center.
HOT/COLD DELAY
This charger has a hot/cold delay feature: When the charger detects
a battery that is too hot or too cold, it automatically starts a delay,
suspending charging. The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow
indicator light will be illuminated during this suspension.
Once the battery has reached an optimum temperature, the yellow
light will turn off and the charger will automatically resume the
charging procedure. This feature ensures maximum battery life.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the charge
indicator showing Pack Charged.
WEAK BATTERY PACKS: Weak batteries will continue to function
but should not be expected to perform as much work.
