ENGLISH
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory
irritation.Provide fresh air.If symptoms persists, seek
medicalattention.

WARNING: Burn hazard.Battery liquid may be flammable
if exposed to spark orflame.

WARNING: Never attempt to open the battery pack for
any reason.If battery pack case is cracked or damaged,
do not insert into charger.Do not crush, drop or damage
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(i.e., pierced with a nail, hit with
a hammer, stepped on).Electric shock or electrocution
may result.Damaged battery packs should be returned to
service centre 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, tool boxes, product kit
boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys,etc.

CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on
a stable surface where it will not cause a tripping
or falling hazard.Some tools with large battery packs
will stand upright on the battery pack but may be easily
knockedover.
Transportation

WARNING: Fire hazard.Transporting batteries can
possibly cause fire if the battery terminals inadvertently
come in contact with conductive materials.When
transporting batteries, make sure that the battery
terminals are protected and well insulated from materials
that could contact them and cause a shortcircuit.
NOTE: Lithium-ion batteries should not be put in
checkedbaggage.
DeWALT batteries comply with all applicable shipping
regulations as prescribed by industry and legal standards which
include UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods; International Air Transport Association(IATA) Dangerous
Goods Regulations, International Maritime Dangerous
Goods(IMDG) Regulations, and the European Agreement
Concerning The International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by
Road(ADR).Lithium‑ion cells and batteries have been tested to
section 38.3 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of
Dangerous Goods Manual of Tests andCriteria.
In most instances, shipping a
DeWALT battery pack will be
excepted from being classified as a fully regulated Class 9
Hazardous Material.In general, only shipments containing a
lithium‑ion battery with an energy rating greater than 100 Watt
Hours(Wh) will require being shipped as fully regulated Class
9.All lithium‑ion batteries have the Watt Hour rating marked on
the pack.Furthermore, due to regulation complexities,
DeWALT
does not recommend air shipping lithium‑ion battery packs
alone regardless of Watt Hour rating.Shipments of tools with
batteries(combo kits) can be air shipped as excepted if the Watt
Hour rating of the battery pack is no greater than 100Whr.
Regardless of whether a shipment is considered excepted
or fully regulated, it is the shipper's responsibility to consult
the latest regulations for packaging, labeling/marking and
documentationrequirements.
The information provided in this section of the manual is
provided in good faith and believed to be accurate at the time
the document was created.However, no warranty, expressed or

activities comply with the applicableregulations.
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.For optimum
battery performance and life, store battery packs at room
temperature when not inuse.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged
battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the charger for
optimalresults.
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely
depleted of charge.The battery pack will need to be recharged
beforeuse.
Labels on Charger and Battery Pack
In addition to the pictographs used in this manual, the labels
on the charger and the battery pack may show the following
pictographs:
Read instruction manual beforeuse.
See Technical Data for chargingtime.
Do not probe with conductiveobjects.
Do not charge damaged batterypacks.
Do not expose to water.
Have defective cords replacedimmediately.
Charge only between 4 ˚C and 40 ˚C.
Only for indooruse.
Discard the battery pack with due care for
theenvironment.
Charge DeWALT battery packs only with designated
DeWALT chargers.Charging battery packs other
than the designated
DeWALT batteries with a
DeWALT charger may make them burst or lead to
other dangeroussituations.
