Battery Safety
E
WARNING:
Batteries can explode, or leak, and
can cause injury or fire. To reduce this risk:
• Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the
battery label and package, and the accompanying
Battery Safety manual.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children.
• Remove batteries when the device is not in use.
• Use only the charger specified for your rechargeable
battery pack.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the laser before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the laser. Such preventative safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the laser accidentally.
• Use the laser only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or laser that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion, or
risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or laser to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 265° F (130° C) may cause an
explosion.
• Follow all the charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack outside of the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or
at temperatures outside of the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

Powering the Laser
This laser can be powered by either of these battery
packs:
• A DEWALT 12V MAX* Li-ion Battery Pack.
*Maximum initial battery voltage (measured without a
workload) is 12 volts. Nominal voltage is 10.8.
• A DEWALT 20V MAX* Li-ion Battery Pack.
*Maximum initial battery voltage (measured without a
workload) is 20 volts. Nominal voltage is 18.
