Safety Rules for Worklight/Chargers

WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not operate flashlight or charger near flammable liquids or in

gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Internal sparks may ignite fumes causing personal injury.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Remove battery pack before replacing the fluorescent bulb.

• Vision may be impaired when looking directly into fluorescent light.

• Do not expose light or charger to wet or damp areas. Do not expose light or charger to rain
or snow.

• Do not wash light or charger with water or allow water to get inside light or charger. Do not
submerge light in water at any time.

• Do not operate without lens cover assembly attached.

• Before using battery and charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on charger,
battery pack, and product using battery pack.

DANGER: Electrocution hazard. 120 volts are present at charging terminals. Do not probe

with conductive objects. Electric shock or electrocution may result.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside worklight/charger. Electric

shock may result.

CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only D

EWALT rechargeable

batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.

CAUTION: Under certain conditions, with the worklight/charger plugged in to 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
worklight/charger before attempting to clean.

• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones in this
manual. The worklight/charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work together.

• These worklight/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 worklight/charger to rain or snow. The worklight/charger is intended

for household and commercial use.

• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting worklight/charger. This will reduce risk
of damage to electric plug and cord.

• Make sure 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 an improper
extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for
safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is
16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one extension to make up
the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size.

• Do not place any object on top of worklight/charger or place the worklight/charger on a

soft surface that might block the ventilation slots and result in excessive internal heat.
Place the worklight/charger in a position away from any heat source.

• Do not operate worklight/charger with a damaged cord or plug — have them replaced
immediately.

• Do not operate the worklight/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 worklight/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 worklight/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.

• This worklight/charger is designed to operate on 120 Volts, 60 Hz AC. It also operates on

direct current (DC) through a fully charged battery pack. Do not use any other voltage.

CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only D

EWALT batteries. Other

types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.

• The label on your worklight/charger may include the following symbols. The symbols and
their definitions are as follows:

Grounding Instructions

The DC021 and DC022 worklight/chargers must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. The worklight/chargers are equipped with a cord having an equipment­grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment grounding conduct or can result in a risk

of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord
or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualifed electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the worklight/charger is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the worklight/charger – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualifed electrician.

FOR GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED WORKLIGHT/CHARGERS RATED LESS THAN
15A AND INTENDED FOR USE ON A NOMINAL 120V SUPPLY CIRCUIT

The worklight/charger is for use on a nominal 120V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks
like the plug illustrated in sketch a. A temporary adaptor, which looks like the adaptor illustrated
in sketches b and c, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch
b if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until
a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualifed electrician. The green colored rigid ear,
lug, and the like, extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as
a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by
the metal screw.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI)

On the DC022, all 15 Amp receptacles are protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
The GFCI shuts off the power to the receptacle when it senses small imbalances caused by
current leakage to ground.

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is provided for use with the worklight/charger.
Receptacles are available having built in GFCI protection and may be used for an added
measure of safety. When using an extension cord, a GFCI should be installed to the power
supply before the extension cord.

To Test A GFCI

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, the GFCI should be tested for proper operation every

time the worklight/charger is used.

DC022 ONLY (FIG. 3, 4)

1. Plug the DC022 power cord into power outlet. The LED indicator on top of the charger
housing should turn green (L).

2. Press the test button (N) on the GFCI outlets on the side of the worklight. The green LED
indicator should disappear.

3. Press reset button (M) for use. Do not use if above test fails.

Use of Extension Cords

Only use grounded extension cords that are rated for outdoor use and equipment with a third­wire ground.

When a long extension cord is used to connect a worklight/charger or tool to a generator, a
voltage drop occurs. The longer the cord, the greater the voltage drop. This results in less volt­age being supplied to the worklight/charger or tool and increases the amount of current (amp)
draw or reduces performance. A heavier cord with a larger wire size will reduce the voltage drop.
Be sure to choose a cord that will supply enough voltage to operate your tool or worklight/charg­er. The tables below indicate appropriate gauge for extension cords and the voltage drop caused
by the use of extension cords, given different electrical loads.

WARNING: Keep electrical cords in good condition. Do not use worn, bare, or frayed cords

because they can cause electrical shock.

WARNING: Operating equipment at low voltage can cause it to overheat. Using an

excessively long extension cord can cause the cord to overheat.

Important Safety Instructions for Battery Packs

The DC021 and DC022 will charge 7.2 volt–18 Volt DEWALT battery packs and will provide light
using 12–18 Volt D

EWALT battery packs. When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to

include catalog number and voltage. Extended Run-Time battery packs deliver more run-time
than standard battery packs. Consult the chart in this manual for compatibility of chargers and bat­tery packs.

The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before using the battery pack and
worklight/charger, read the safety instructions below. Then follow charging procedures outlined.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged 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

EWALT chargers.

• 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 (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).

DANGER: Electrocution hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If

battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. Electric shock or electro­cution may result. Damaged battery 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 charger. 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 individual 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 and nickel metal hydride batteries (or battery packs) indicate that
the costs to recycle these batteries (or battery packs) at the end of their useful life
have already been paid by D

EWALT. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent

nickel cadmium and nickel metal hydride 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 and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel cadmium and nickel metal
hydride batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning
the spent nickel cadmium and nickel metal hydride batteries 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.

RBRC™ is a registered trademark of the

Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation.

Worklight/Charger

The DC021 and DC022 will charge 7.2–18 Volt DEWALT battery packs and will provide light
using 12–18 Volt DEWALT battery packs. Your battery may also be charged in DEWALT 1 hour
chargers, 15 minute chargers or vehicular 12 volt chargers. Be sure to read all safety
instructions before using your charger. Consult the chart in this manual for compatibility of
chargers and battery packs.

The 38W fluorescent worklight will run on 12–18V D

EWALT batteries or 120V AC Power. The

1-hour charger and the three power outlets will ONLY function when the worklight/charger is
plugged into AC power and CANNOT be powered by D

EWALT batteries.

Charging Procedure (Fig. 1, 4)

DANGER: Electrocution hazard. 120 volts present at charging terminals. Do not probe with

conductive objects. Danger of electric shock or electrocution.

WARNING: Pinch hazard. Do not release the battery hold-down quickly. Personal injury may

result.

1. Plug the worklight/charger power cord (E) into an appropriate AC power outlet or generator.

2. Lift the battery hold-down (G) with one hand and insert the battery pack into the charging
receptacle. Slowly place the battery hold-down on battery pack to hold battery pack firmly.

3. The red light on the top rear of the base will blink continuously indicating that the charging
process has started.

4. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light remaining ON continuously.

5. Charge time for D

EWALT 7.2 –18 V battery packs is approximately one hour.

Indicator Light Operation

Charge Indicators

The worklight/charger is 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 worklight/charger. If the problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the
worklight/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 worklight/charger tested at an
authorized service center.

HOT/COLD PACK DELAY

The worklight/charger has a Hot/Cold Pack Delay feature: when the worklight/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 worklight/charger automatically switches to the
Pack Charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. The red light flashes long, then
short while in the Hot Pack Delay mode.

PROBLEM POWER LINE

The worklight/charger has a Problem Power Line indicator. When the worklight/charger is used
with some portable power sources such as generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the
worklight/charger may temporarily suspend operation, flashing the red light with two fast

blinks followed by a pause. This indicates the power source is out of limits.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE WORKLIGHT/CHARGER

The worklight/charger and battery pack can be left connected with the red light glowing indefi­nitely. The worklight/charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged.

NOTE: A battery pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out of the worklight/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 worklight/charger that is not plugged
into an appropriate AC source.

WEAK BATTERY PACKS: The worklight/charger can also detect a weak battery. Such
batteries are still usable but should not be expected to perform as much work. In such cases,
about 10 seconds after battery insertion, the worklight/charger will beep rapidly 8 times to
indicate a weak battery condition. The worklight/charger will then go on to charge the battery to
the highest capacity possible.

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 worklight/charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging. This is
a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery
pack after use, avoid placing the worklight/charger or battery pack in a warm environment
such as in a metal shed, or an uninsulated trailer.

3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance.
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you

turn out the lights.

c. Move the worklight/charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air tem-

perature is approximately 65°F - 75°F (18° - 24°C).

d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and worklight/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 worklight/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 worklight/charger cavities. Always
keep the battery door closed when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug
worklight/charger before attempting to clean.

6. Do not freeze or immerse the worklight/charger in water or any other liquid.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Don’t allow any liquid to get inside the worklight/charger. Electric

shock may result.

CAUTION: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the

battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service center for recycling.

Règles de sécurité pour la lampe et les chargeurs

AVERTISSEMENT : Risque de brûlure. Ne pas utiliser la lampe de poche ou le chargeur près

de liquides inflammables ou dans un milieu gazeux ou déflagrant. Des étincelles à l’intérieur du
produit peuvent enflammer des vapeurs et causer des blessures corporelles.

AVERTISSEMENT : Risque de choc électrique. Retirer le bloc-piles avant de remplacer

l’ampoule fluorescente.

• La vision peut être altérée au moment de fixer directement dans la lampe fluorescente.

• Ne pas exposer le lamp ou chargeur à un endroit humide ou mouillé. Ne pas exposer le lamp
ou chargeur à la pluie ou à la neige.

• Ne pas laver el lamp ni le chargeur à l’eau ni laisser l’eau pénétrer à l’intérieur de ceux-ci.
Ne jamais immerger le lamp dans l’eau.

• Ne pas faire fonctionner la lampe si le couvercle de lentille n’est pas fixé.

• Avant d’utiliser le bloc-piles et le chargeur, lire toutes les directives et les indications d’aver­tissement apposées sur le chargeur, le bloc-piles et le produit utilisé avec le bloc-piles.

DANGER : Risque d’électrocution. Les bornes de charge présentent une tension de 120 V.

Ne pas sonder les bornes avec des objets conducteurs. En effet, il y a risque de choc électrique
ou d’électrocution.

AVERTISSEMENT : Risque de choc électrique. Éviter la pénétration de tout liquide dans le

lamp/chargeur car Cela peut provoquer des chocs électriques.

MISE EN GARDE : Risque de brûlure. Pour réduire le risque de blessures, charger unique-

ment des piles ou bloc-piles rechargeables D

EWALT. D’autres types de piles peuvent exploser et

provoquer des blessures corporelles et des dommages.

MISE EN GARDE : sous certaines conditions, lorsque le lamp/chargeur est branché(e) au

bloc d’alimentation, les contacts de chargement exposés à l’intérieur du chargeur peuvent être
court-circuités par des corps étrangers conducteurs tels que, mais sans s’y limiter, la laine
d’acier, le papier d’aluminium, ou toute accumulation de particules métalliques. Ils doivent être
maintenus à distance des ouvertures du chargeur. Débrancher systématiquement celui-ci si
aucun bloc-piles n’y est inséré ou avant de nettoyer la lampe ou celui-ci.

• NE PAS charger le bloc-piles au moyen de tout autre chargeur que ceux mentionnés
dans le présent manuel. Le lamp/chargeur et le bloc-pile sont spécialement conçu(e)s pour
être utilisé(e)s ensemble.

• Ces lamps/chargeurs ne sont pas prévu(e)s pour être utilisé(e)s à d’autres fins que
celles de charger les piles rechargeables D

EWALT. Toute autre utilisation risque de

provoquer un incendie, un choc électrique ou une électrocution.

• Protéger le lamp/chargeur de la pluie et la neige. Le lamp/chargeur sont conçus pour
une utilisation domestique et commerciale.

• Tirer sur la fiche plutôt que sur le cordon pour débrancher le lamp/chargeur. Cela
permet de réduire le risque d’endommager la fiche ou le cordon d’alimentation.

• S’assurer que le cordon est situé en lieu sûr de manière à ce que personne ne marche
ni ne trébuche dessus ou à ce qu’il ne soit pas endommagé ni soumis à une tension.

• Ne pas utiliser de rallonge à moins que cela ne soit absolument nécessaire. L’utilisation
d’une rallonge inadéquate risque d’entraîner un incendie, un choc électrique ou une
électrocution.

• Pour la sécurité de l’utilisateur, utiliser une rallonge de calibre AWG adéquat (AWG ou
calibrage américain normalisé des fils). Plus le numéro de calibre de fil est petit et plus sa
capacité est grande, par exemple un calibre 16 a plus de capacité qu’un calibre 18. Si plus
d’une rallonge est utilisée pour obtenir la longueur totale, s’assurer que chaque rallonge
présente au moins le calibre de fil minimum.

• Ne pas mettre d’objet sur le lamp/chargeur ni mettre ceux-ci sur une surface molle

pouvant obstruer les fentes de ventilation et ainsi provoquer une chaleur interne
excessive. Éloigner la lampe et le chargeur de toute source de chaleur.

• Ne pas faire fonctionner le lamp/chargeur si la fiche ou le cordon est endommagé — les
remplacer immédiatement.

• Ne pas faire fonctionner le lamp/chargeur s’il a subi un choc violent, s’il a chuté ou s’il
a été endommagé de quelque façon que ce soit. Le faire vérifier à un centre de réparations
autorisé.

• Ne pas démonter le lamp/chargeur. Confier l’entretien ou la réparation à un centre de
réparation autorisé au besoin. Le remontage non conforme du chargeur comporte des

risques d’incendie ou d’électrocution.

• Débrancher le lamp/chargeur avant de le nettoyer. Cela réduira le risque de choc

électrique. Le risque ne sera pas éliminé en enlevant simplement le bloc-piles.

• Cet lamp/charger est conçu pour fonctionner sur une tension de 120 volts de courant
alternatif à une fréquence de 60 Hz. Ils fonctionnent également avec un courant continu
(c.c.) par l’entremise d’un bloc-piles complètement chargés. Utiliser uniquement la

tension de 120 volts.

MISE EN GARDE : Risque de brûlure. Pour réduire le risque de blessures, charger unique-

ment des piles ou bloc-piles rechargeables D

EWALT. D’autres types de piles peuvent exploser

et provoquer des blessures corporelles et des dommages.
