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.

• 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

EWALT

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 following table 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.

• Do not place any object on top of the charger or place the charger on a soft surface

that might block the ventilation slots and result in excessive internal heat. Place the

charger in a position away from any heat source. The charger is ventilated through slots in the

top and the bottom of the housing.

• Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug.

• 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.

• The charger is designed to operate on standard 120V household electrical power. Do

not attempt to use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger.

Chargers

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.

Charging Procedure (Fig. 2)

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting the battery pack.

2. Insert the battery pack (D) into the charger, as shown in Figure 2, making sure the pack is fully

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

process has started.

3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light remaining ON continuously. The

pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger.

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 hot, it

automatically starts a delay, suspending charging until the battery has cooled. After the battery

has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures

maximum battery life. The red light flashes long, then short while in the hot/cold delay mode.

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.

FAULTY BATTERY PACKS: This charger will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will

indicate faulty battery pack by refusing to light or by displaying problem pack or charger.

NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger.

Important Charging Notes

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the

air temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18° – 24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in

an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important and

will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.

2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the touch while charging. This is a

normal condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack

after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal

shed or an uninsulated trailer.

3. A cold battery pack will charge at about half the rate of a warm battery pack. The battery

pack will charge at that slower rate throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to

maximum charge rate even if the battery pack warms.

4. If the battery pack does not charge properly:

a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance;

b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you

turn out the lights;

c. Move the charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is

approximately 65°F – 75°F (18° – 24°C);

d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local service

center.

5. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which

were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the

charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no

adverse effect on the battery pack.

6. 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

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.

7. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any other liquid.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Don’t allow any liquid to get inside the charger. Electric shock may

result.

WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not submerge the battery pack in any liquid or allow any liquid

to enter the battery pack. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic

housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service center for recycling.
