Chargers
DeWALT chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be as easy as
possible tooperate.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always check
that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate. Also make sure that the voltage of your charger corresponds to that
of yourmains.
Your DeWALT charger is double insulated in
accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth wire
isrequired.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by DeWALT or an
authorised serviceorganisation.
Mains Plug Replacement
(U.K. & Ireland Only)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
• Safely dispose of the oldplug.
• Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in theplug.
• Connect the blue lead to the neutralterminal.

WARNING: No connection is to be made to the earthterminal.
Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs.
Recommended fuse: 3A.
Residual Risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of saws:
• Injuries caused by touching the rotatingparts.
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 accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the rotating sawblade.
• Risk of injury when changing theblade.
• Risk of squeezing fingers when opening theguards.
• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when sawing wood,
especially oak, beech andMDF.
The following factors increase the risk of breathing problems:
• No dust extractor connected when sawingwood.
• Insufficient dust extraction caused by uncleaned exhaustfilters.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treatedlumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out microscopicparticles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective
clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to
get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of
harmfulchemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which
may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always
use approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dustexposure.
Using an Extension Cable
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use an
approved extension cable suitable for the power input of your charger (see
Technical Data). The minimum conductor size is 1mm
2
; the maximum
length is30m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cablecompletely.
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important safety
and operating instructions for compatible battery chargers (refer to
TechnicalData).
• 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
DeWALT 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
DeWALT 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.
• In case of damaged power supply cord the supply cord must be replaced
immediately by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified
person to prevent anyhazard.
• 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 two chargerstogether.
