Wall Mounting
Some DeWALT chargers are designed to be wall mountable
or to sit upright on a table or work surface.If wall mounting,
locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and
away from a corner or other obstructions which may impede
air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template for the
location of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount the
charger securely using drywall screws (purchased separately)
at least 1” (25.4mm) long, with a screw head diameter of
0.28–0.35” (7–9mm), screwed into wood to an optimal
depth leaving approximately 7/32” (5.5 mm) of the screw
exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the
exposed screws and fully engage them in theslots.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE USE
104° F (40° C). This is important and will prevent serious
damage to the batterypack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the
touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of
the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or
battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal
shed or an uninsulatedtrailer.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp
or other appliance;
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light
switch which turns power off when you turn out
thelights;
c. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery
pack and charger to your local servicecenter.
4. You may charge a partially used pack whenever you
desire with no adverse effect on the batterypack.
