power tool. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.

• Do not charge or use the battery pack in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery

pack from the charger may ignite the dust orfumes.

• NEVER force the battery pack into the charger. DO

NOT modify the battery pack in any way to fit into
a non-compatible charger as battery pack may
rupture causing serious personal injury. Consult

the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of

locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 104°F (40°C) (such as outside sheds or metal
buildings in summer). For best life store battery packs in
a cool, drylocation.
NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with
the trigger switch locked on. Never tape the trigger
switch in the ONposition.

• 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. Toxic fumes and
materials are created when lithium ion battery packs
areburned.

• If battery contents come into contact with the skin,
immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If
battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open
eye for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical
attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of
a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithiumsalts.

• Contents of opened battery cells may cause
respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms
persist, seek medicalattention.

WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be
flammable if exposed to spark orflame.



WARNING: Fire hazard. Never attempt to open the
battery pack for any reason. If the battery pack case



is cracked or damaged, do not insert into the charger.
Do not crush, drop or damage the battery pack. Do
not use a battery pack or charger that has received a
sharp blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in
any way (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer,
stepped on). Damaged battery packs should be
returned to the service center forrecycling.

Transportation

WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the
battery pack so that metal objects can contact



exposed battery terminals. For example, do
not place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool
boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose
nails, screws, keys, etc. 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 in
carry-on baggage UNLESS they are properly protected
from short circuits. So when transporting individual
battery packs, make sure that the battery terminals
are protected and well insulated from materials that
could contact them and cause a short circuit.

Shipping the

The DeWALT FLEXVOLT™ battery has two modes: Use
andShipping.

Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT™ battery stands alone or is
in a DeWALT 20V Max* product, it will operate as a 20V Max*
battery. When the FLEXVOLT™ battery is in a 60V Max* or a
120V Max* (two 60V Max* batteries) product, it will operate
as a 60V Max* battery.

Shipping Mode: When
the cap is attached to
the FLEXVOLT™ battery,
the battery is in Shipping
Mode. Strings of cells are
electrically disconnected within the pack resulting in three
batteries with a lower watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to
one battery with a higher Watt hour rating. This increased
quantity of three batteries with the lower watt hour rating
can exempt the pack from certain shipping regulations that
are imposed upon the higher Watt hour batteries.

The battery label indicates two Watt Hour Ratings (see
example). Depending on how the battery is shipped, the
appropriate Whr rating must be used to determine the
applicable shipping requirements. If utilizing the shipping
cap, the pack will be considered 3 batteries at the Whr
indicated for “Shipping”. If shipping without the cap or in
a tool, the pack will be considered one battery at the Watt
hour rating indicated next to “Use”.

Example of Use and Shipping Label Marking

For example, shipping Wh rating might indicate 3 x 40 Wh,
meaning 3 batteries of 40 Watt hours each. The Use Wh
rating might indicate 120 Watt hour (1 battery implied).

The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of
charge remaining in the battery pack according to the
followingindicators:

To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge
button. A combination of the three green LED lights will
illuminate designating the level of charge left. When the
level of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the

Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all
instructions for the battery pack, charger and



power tool. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.

• 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

Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock
orelectrocution.

• Do not expose the charger to rain orsnow.

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

rechargeable batteries.

• Make sure that the 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 improper extension cord could result in

risk of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.

• When operating a charger outdoors, always provide

a dry location and use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use

reduces the risk of electricshock.

• 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. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using
more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
lower the gauge number, the heavier thecord.

• Do not place any object on top of the 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 the charger with a damaged cord

orplug.

• 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 the 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.
