Important Charging Notes - DeWalt DW934 Guide D'utilisation

LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the red
light glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery pack
fresh and fully charged.
NOTE: A battery pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out of
the charger. If the battery pack has not been kept on maintenance
charge, it may need to be recharged before use. A battery pack
may also slowly lose its charge if left in a charger that is not plugged
into an appropriate AC source.

Important Charging Notes

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery
pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65°F and
75°F (18°- 24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air
temperature below +40°F(+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C).
This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery
pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while
charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a
problem.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly — (1) Check current
at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance, (2) Check
to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns
power off when you turn out the lights. (3) Move charger and
battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature
is approximately 65°F - 75°F (18°- 24°C). (4) If charging problems
persist, take or send the tool, battery pack and charger to your
local service center.
4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO
NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the
charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack
whenever you desire with no adverse affect on the battery pack.
5. 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.
6. Do not immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING: Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric
shock may result. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after
use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environ-
ment such as in a metal shed, or an uninsulated trailer.
CAUTION: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any rea-
son. If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks,
return the battery pack to a service center for recycling.
