• 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.
• Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to
an authorized service center.
• Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorized
service center when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or
fire.
• 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 2 chargers together.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard 120V
household electrical power. Do not attempt to use it on
any other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger.
Chargers
Your tool uses a D WALT charger. Be sure to read all safety
E
instructions before using your charger. Consult the chart on the back
cover of this manual for compatibility of chargers and battery packs.
Charging Procedure (Fig. 1)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting
battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (C) into the charger, as shown in
Figure 1, making sure the pack is fully seated in charger. The
red (charging) light will blink continuously indicating that the
charging process has started.
FIG. 1
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light
remaining ON continuously. The pack is fully charged and may
be used at this time or left in the charger.
Charge Indicators
Some chargers are designed to detect certain problems that can
arise with battery packs. Problems are indicated by the red light
flashing at a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert battery pack into
the charger. If the problem persists, try a different battery pack to
determine if the charger is OK. If the new pack charges correctly,
then the original pack is defective and should be returned to a
service center or other collection site for recycling. If the new battery
pack elicits the same trouble indication as the original, have the
charger tested at an authorized service center.
HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
Some chargers have a Hot/Cold Pack Delay feature: when the
charger detects a battery that is hot, it automatically starts a Hot
Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery has cooled. After
the battery has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the
