CAUTION:To reduce the risk of injury, charge only D
cadmium rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst
causing personal injury and damage.
CAUTION: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to
the power supply, the exposed charging contacts inside the charger
can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive
nature such as, but not limited to, 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 charger before attempting to clean.
DANGER: 120 volts present at charging terminals. Do not probe
with conductive objects. Danger of electric shock or electrocution.
WARNING: Don't allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric
shock may result.
• The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work
together. DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any
chargers other than the ones in this manual.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging
D
WALT rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in risk
E
of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
• To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug
rather than cord when disconnecting charger.
• Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped
over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
• An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric
shock, or electrocution.
• 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. 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 charger is ventilated through slots in the top and the bottom of
the housing. 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.
• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug — have them
replaced immediately.
• 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.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before
attempting any cleaning. Removing the battery pack will not reduce
this risk.
• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical
power (120 Volts AC). Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage!
This does not apply to vehicular charger.
