Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Chargers
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions for the battery pack, charger and power tool. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
• Before using the charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the charger, battery pack and product
using the batterypack.
• 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 worktogether.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging DeWALT rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may
result in risk of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.
• Do not expose the charger to rain orsnow.
• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of damage to the electric
plug andcord.
• Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage
orstress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of fire,
electric shock orelectrocution.
• 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 electricshock.
• 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 thecord.

• 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 thehousing.
• Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord orplug.
• 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 servicecenter.
• 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 orfire.
• 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 thisrisk.
• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargerstogether.
• 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 vehicularcharger.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside the charger. Electric shock mayresult.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not submerge the battery pack in any liquid or allow any liquid to enter the battery pack. Never
attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service
center for recycling.
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 propertydamage.
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 toclean.
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Packs
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions for the battery pack, charger and power tool. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
• 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 orfumes.
• 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. Consult the chart at the end of this
manual for compatibility of batteries andchargers.
• Charge the battery packs only in designated DeWALTchargers.
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or otherliquids.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 104°F (40°C)
(such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer). For best life store battery packs in a cool, drylocation.
NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with the trigger switch locked on. Never tape the trigger switch in the
ONposition.
• 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 areburned.
• 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. If medical attention is needed, the battery
electrolyte is composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithiumsalts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek
medicalattention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark orflame.
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 forrecycling.
Transportation
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, tool boxes, 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 prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes
in carry-on baggage 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.
SHIPPING THE DeWALT FLEXVOLT™ BATTERY
The DeWALT FLEXVOLT™ battery has two modes: Use and Shipping.
Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT™ battery stands alone or is in a DeWALT 20V Max* product, it
will operate as a 20V Max* battery. When the FLEXVOLT™ battery is in a 60V Max* or a 120V Max*
(two 60V Max* batteries) product, it will operate as a 60V Max* battery.
Shipping Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLT™ battery, the battery is in Shipping
Mode. Strings of cells are electrically disconnected within the pack resulting in three batteries with a lower Watt hour (Wh)
rating as compared to one battery with a higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of three batteries with the lower Watt
hour rating can exempt the pack from certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher Watt hour batteries.
The battery label indicates two Watt hour ratings (see example). Depending on how the battery is shipped, the appropriate
Watt hour rating must be used to determine the applicable shipping requirements. If utilizing the shipping cap, the pack will be
considered 3 batteries at the Watt hour rating indicated for “Shipping”. If shipping without the cap or in a tool, the pack will be
considered one battery at the Watt hour rating indicated next to “Use”.
USE: 120 Wh Shipping: 3 x 40 Wh
Example of Use and Shipping Label Marking
For example, Shipping Wh rating might indicate 3 x 40 Wh, meaning 3 batteries of 40 Watt hours each. The Use Wh rating might
indicate 120 Wh (1 battery implied).
Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)
Some DeWALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of charge
remaining in the batterypack.
The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of charge remaining in the battery pack according to the
followingindicators:
75–100% charged
51–74% charged
< 50% charged
Pack needs to be charged
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button. A combination of the three green LED lights will illuminate
designating the level of charge left. When the level of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not
illuminate and the battery will need to berecharged.
Fig. B
NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is
subject to variation based on product components, temperature and end-userapplication.
