out of the carton. Before using the battery
pack and charger, read the safety instructions
in the following section and then follow the
charging procedures.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not charge or use the battery pack in
explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Inserting or removing the battery
pack from the charger may ignite the dust
or fumes.
• NEVER force the battery pack into the
charger. DO NOT modify the battery pack
in any way to fit into a non-compatible
charger as battery pack may rupture
causing serious personal injury.
• Charge the battery packs only in designated
DEWALT® chargers.
• DO NOT immerse in water or other liquids.
• Do not store or use the appliance and
battery pack in locations where the
temperature may reach or exceed 105 °F
(40 °C) (such as outside sheds or metal
buildings in summer). For best life store
battery packs in a cool, dry location.
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.
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,
toolboxes, 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
prohibits transporting batteries in
commerce or on airplanes (e.g., packed in
suitcases and carry-on luggage) 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.
SPECIFIC SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR LITHIUM ION (LI-ION)
• 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. Toxic fumes and materials are created
when lithium ion battery packs are burned.
• If battery contents come into contact
with the skin, immediately wash area
with mild soap and water. If battery liquid
gets into the eye, rinse water over the open
eye for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases.
Additionally, seek medical attention. The
battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture
of liquid organic carbonates and lithium
salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may
cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh
air. If symptoms persist, seek medical
attention.
• Do not expose a battery pack
or appliance to fire or excessive
temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may
cause explosion.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid
may be flammable if exposed to spark or
flame.
