Important Safety Instructions for
Battery Packs

E
replacement battery packs, be sure to include catalog number and
voltage.

battery pack and charger, read the safety instructions below. Consult
the chart on the back cover of this manual for compatibility of chargers
and battery packs. Then follow charging procedures outlined.

• 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.
• A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may occur
under extreme usage or temperature conditions. This does not
indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and this
leakage gets on your skin:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
c. If battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water
for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate medical
attention. (Medical note: The liquid is 25-35% solution of
potassium hydroxide.)

NOTE: Battery storage and carrying caps are
provided for use whenever the battery is out of the tool or
charger. Remove cap before placing battery in charger
or tool.
WARNING: Do not store or carry battery so that
metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals. For example,
do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes,
drawers, etc. with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. without battery cap.
Without cap in place, battery could short circuit causing fire or burns
or damage to battery.
CAUTION: Battery pack must be securely attached to tool. If battery
pack is detached, personal injury may result.
The RBRC™ Seal
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation) Seal on the nickel-cadmium battery (or
battery pack) indicates that the costs to recycle the
battery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have
already been paid by D WALT. In some areas, it is illegal
E
to place spent nickel-cadmium batteries in the trash or
municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an
environmentally conscious alternative.
RBRC™ in cooperation with D WALT and other battery users, has
E
established programs in the United States to facilitate the collection of
spent nickel-cadmium batteries. Help protect our environment and
conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel-cadmium
battery to an authorized D WALT service center or to your local retailer
E
for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for
information on where to drop off the spent battery.

Recycling Corporation.
