The RBRC™ Seal
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corp oration) Seal on the nickel
cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium ion batteries (or battery packs) indicate
that the costs to recycle these batteries (or battery packs) at the end of their useful
life have already been paid by D
EWALT. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent
nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium ion batteries in the trash or municipal
solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally conscious
alternative.
RBRC™, in cooperation with D
EWALT and other battery users, has established programs 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
EWALT
service 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 the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation.
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important safety and operating instructions
for battery chargers.
Before using the charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the charger, battery
pack and product using the battery pack.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside the charger. Electric shock may
result.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only DEWALT rechargeable battery
packs. Other types of batteries may overheat and burst resulting in personal injury and property
damage.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply, the charger can
be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature, such as, but not limited to,
grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept
away from the charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no
battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger before attempting to clean.
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
EWALT rechargeable
batteries. 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 for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
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. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. 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 following
table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Minimum Gauge for Cord Sets

120V 25 (7.6) 50 (15.2) 100 (30.5) 150 (45.7)

Do not place any object on top of the 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 the charger with a damaged cord or plug.
Do not operate the 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 the 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 DEWALT charger. Be sure to read all safety instructions before using your charger.
Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of chargers and battery packs.
Charging Procedure (Fig.2)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting the
L
FIG. 2
battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (L) into the charger, as shown in Figure 2,
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.
