• Do not place any object on top of 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 charger with damaged cord or plug.
• Do not operate 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 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 D WALT charger. Be sure to read all safety instructions
E
before using your charger. Consult the chart on the back cover of this
manual for compatibility of chargers and battery packs.
Charging Procedure (Fig. 1)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting battery
pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (A) into the charger, as shown in Figure 1,
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
Some chargers are designed to detect certain problems that can arise
with battery packs. Problems are indicated by the red light flashing
at a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert battery pack into the charger. If
the problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the
charger is OK. 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 tested at an
authorized service center.
HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
Some chargers have a Hot/Cold Pack Delay feature: when the charger
detects a battery that is hot, it automatically starts a Hot Pack 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 Pack Delay mode.
