Important Safety Instructions For Battery Chargers - DeWalt DW076 Guide D'utilisation

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely dam-
aged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can explode
in a fire.
• A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may
occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. This
does not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken
and this leakage gets on your skin:
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
medical attention. (MEDICAL NOTE: The liquid is 25-35%
solution of potassium hydroxide.)
• Charge the battery packs only in D
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations
where the temperature may reach or exceed 105°F (40˚)
(such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
DANGER: Electrocution hazard. Never attempt to open the bat-
tery pack for any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or dam-
aged, do not insert into charger. Electric shock or electrocution may
result. Damaged battery packs should be returned to service cen-
ter 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: Fire hazard. 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. Transporting
batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals

inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such
as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department of
Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually
prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e.,
packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are
properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting indi-
vidual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected
and well insulated from materials that could contact them and
cause a short circuit.
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 WALT. In some areas, it is ille-
E
gal to place spent nickel-cadmium batteries in the trash or municipal
solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environ-
mentally conscious alternative.
RBRC in cooperation with D WALT and other battery users, has
E
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-
cadmium battery to an authorized D
local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling
center for information on where to drop off the spent battery.
