Important Safety Instructions for Battery Packs
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton! First read the safety instructions
below. Then follow charging notes and procedures.
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 bro-
ken 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 min-
utes and seek immediate medical 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 possibly causing severe burns or fire.
• Charge the battery packs only in D
E
WALT chargers.
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: 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.
• 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 restrictions on the disposal of these battery packs
or return them to a D
E
WALT 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 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.
The RBRC™ Seal
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the nickelcadmium battery (or battery pack) indicates that the costs to recycle the battery (or
battery pack) at the end of its useful life have already been paid by D
EWALT. In
some areas, it is illegal 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-cadmium 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.
Important Safety Instructions for Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This manual contains important safety instructions for
D
E
WALT battery chargers.
• Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on battery charger, battery and product using battery.
DANGER: 120 volts are present at charging terminals. Do not probe with conductive objects.
Electric shock or electrocution may result.
WARNING: Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock may result.
CAUTION:To reduce the risk of injury, charge only D
E
WALT nickel cadmium rechargeable
batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
CAUTION: Under certain conditions, with the 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 charger before attempting
to clean.
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones in this
manual. The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work together.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging D
E
WALT
rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock or
electrocution.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting 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.
Recommended Minimum AWG Size for Extension Cords
Total Extension Cord Length (feet)
25 50 75 100 125 150 175
Wire Gauge
18 18 16 16 14 14 12
• 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 a damaged cord or plug — have them replaced immediately.
• Do not operate the 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.
• This charger is designed to operate on 120 Volts, 50 Hz AC or DC electrical power . Do

2. Insert the battery pack into the back of the radio as shown. Make sure the pack is fully seated
in the charger, close the rear door and fasten the latch [Fig. 1 (D)].
3. The radio/charger will begin charging the battery pack regardless of whether the radio is on or
off. The red charger light on the radio face 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 volt –18 volt NiCd battery packs is approximately one hour.
Indicator Light Operation
Trouble 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.
PROBLEM POWER LINE
Some chargers have a Problem Power Line indicator. When the charger is used with some
portable power sources such as generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the 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.
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 Pack Charging mode.
This feature ensures maximum battery life. The red light flashes long, then short while in the Hot
Pack Delay mode.
ALL CHARGERS
Leaving the battery pack in the charger: When the red light remains on, the charger has
switched to its "equalize charge" mode which lasts approximately 4 hours, after which the charger will switch to "maintenance charge" mode. The battery pack can be removed at any time during these charge cycles, but will only be fully charged if the red light is continuously on. 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. 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.
WEAK BATTERY PACKS: Chargers 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 charger will beep rapidly 8 times to indicate a weak battery condition.
The 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 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 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 — (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: Don't allow any liquid to get inside 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 the battery pack to a service center for recycling.
