WARNING: Fire hazard. Never attempt to open the
battery pack for any reason. If the battery pack case
is cracked or damaged, do not insert into the charger.
Do not crush, drop or damage the battery pack. Do
not use a battery pack or charger that has received a
sharp blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in
any way (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer,
stepped on). Damaged battery packs should be
returned to the service center for recycling.
Transportation
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry 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, etc. Transporting batteries
can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals
inadvertently come in contact with conductive
materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the
like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous
Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit
transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes in
carry-on baggage UNLESS they are properly protected
from short circuits. So 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.
Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)
Some D
WALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which
e
consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of
charge remaining in the battery pack.
The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of
charge remaining in the battery pack according to the
following indicators:
75–100% charged
51–74% charged
< 50% charged
Pack needs to be charged
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge
button. A combination of the three green LED lights will
illuminate designating the level of charge left. When the
level of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the
fuel gauge will not illuminate and the battery will need to
be recharged.
Fig. B
nOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left
on the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality
and is subject to variation based on product components,
temperature and end-user application.

The RBRC® Seal
The RBRC® (Rechargeable Battery
Recycling Corporation) Seal on the nickel
cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-
ion batteries (or battery packs) indicates
that the costs to recycle these batteries
(or battery packs) at the end of their useful life have already
been paid by D
WALT. In some areas, it is illegal to place
e
spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion
batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and
the Call 2 Recycle® program provides an environmentally
conscious alternative.
Call 2 Recycle, Inc., in cooperation with D
battery users, has established the program in the United
States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel
cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries. Help
protect our environment and conserve natural resources by
returning the spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride
or lithium-ion batteries to an authorized D
center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also
contact your local recycling center for information on
where to drop off the spent battery. RBRC® is a registered
trademark of Call 2 Recycle, Inc.
Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all
instructions for the battery pack, charger and
power tool. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.
•
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
WALT rechargeable batteries.
e
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
