a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
c. If battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean
water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate med-
ical attention. (Medical note: The liquid is 25-35% solution of
potassium hydroxide.)
• Do not carry extra battery packs in aprons, pockets, or tool
boxes along with other metal objects. The battery pack could
be short circuited causing damage to the battery pack and pos-
sibly causing severe burns or fire.
• Charge the battery packs only in D
EWALT chargers.
NOTE: The batteries in your battery pack are the nickel–cadmium
type. Cadmium is considered to be a toxic material by the
Environmental Protection Agency. Before disposing of damaged or
worn out Nickel–Cadmium battery packs, check with your state
Environmental Protection Agency to find out about special restric-
tions on the disposal of these battery packs or return them to a
D
EWALT certified service center for recycling.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations
where the temperature may reach or exceed 105°F such as
outside sheds or metal buildings in summer.
DANGER: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any rea-
son. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into
charger. Electric shock or electrocution may result. Damaged bat-
tery packs should be returned to service center for recycling.
NOTE: Battery storage and carrying caps are provided
for use whenever the battery is out of the tool or charg-
er. Remove cap before placing battery in charger or tool.
WARNING: Do not store or carry battery so that
metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals.
For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets,
tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc. with loose
nails, screws, keys, etc. without battery cap. Without cap in place,
battery could short circuit causing fire or burns or damage to battery.
Battery Packs
Your tool uses a 9.6, 12.0, 14.4 or an 18 Volt DEWALT battery
pack. When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to
include catalog number and voltage: Extended Run-Time battery
packs deliver 25% more run-time than standard battery packs.
XR+ Extended Run-Time battery packs deliver 40% more run
time than standard battery packs. NOTE: Your tool will accept
either standard or Extended Run Time battery packs.
The RBRC™ Seal
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation) Seal on the nickel-cadmium battery (or
battery pack) indicates that the costs to recycle the bat-
tery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have
already been paid by D
EWALT. In some areas, it is ille-
gal to place spent nickel-cadmium batteries in the trash
or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an
environmentally conscious alternative.
RBRC in cooperation with D
EWALT and other battery users, has
established programs in the United States to facilitate the collection
of spent nickel-cadmium batteries. Help protect our environment
and conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel-cad-
mium battery to an authorized D
EWALT service center or to your
local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling
center for information on where to drop off the spent battery.
