  •  Before using charger, read all instructions and 
cautionary markings on charger, battery pack, 
and product using battery pack.
 
 WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow 
any liquid to get inside charger. Electric 
shock may result.
 
  WARNING: We recommend the use of 
a residual current device with a residual 
current rating of 30mA or less.
 
 CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce 
the risk of injury, charge only D
eWALT 
rechargeable batteries. Other types of 
batteries may burst causing personal 
injury and damage.
 
 CAUTION: Children should be 
supervised to ensure that they do not 
play with the appliance.
   NOTICE: Under certain conditions, 
with the charger plugged into 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 
ofdamage 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 
  •  Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. 
Hammering and drilling operations cause chips 
to fly. Flying particles can cause permanent eye 
damage.
  •  Accessories and tool may get hot during 
operation. Wear gloves when handling them if 
performing heat producing applications such as 
hammerdrilling and drilling metals.
  •  Do not operate this tool for long periods of 
time. Vibration caused by hammer action may 
be harmful to your hands and arms. Use gloves 
to provide extra cushion and limit exposure by 
taking frequent rest periods.
  •  Air vents often cover moving parts and 
should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or 
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Residual Risks
In spite of the application of the relevant safety 
regulations and the implementation of safety 
devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided. 
These are:
  –  Impairment of hearing.
  –  Risk of squeezing fingers when changing 
accessories.
  –  Health hazards caused by breathing dust 
developed when working in wood.
  –  Risk of personal injury due to flying particles.
  –  Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
