Important Safety Instructions for All 
Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual 
contains important safety and operating instruc tions 
for the DE9000 battery charger.
  •  Before using charger, read all instructions and 
cautionary markings on charger, battery pack, 
and product using battery pack.
   DANGER: Electrocution hazard. 
230 volts are present at charging 
terminals. Do not probe with conductive 
objects. Electric shock or electrocution 
may result.
   WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow 
any liquid to get inside charger. Electric 
shock may result.
   CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce 
the risk of injury, charge only DEWALT 
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.
  •  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 charger to rain or snow.
  •  Pull by plug rather than cord when 
disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk 
of damage to electric plug and cord.
  •  Make sure that 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.
  •  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. The charger 
is ventilated through slots in the top and the 
bottom of the housing.
  •  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 authorised 
service centre.
  •  Do not disassemble charger; take it to an 
authorised service centre 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.
