Fan Cooling

English

This charger is equipped with an internal fan that provides rapid cool- ing of DEWALT DW0242 battery packs. The fan operation is automatic and will turn on when required during battery charging.

WARNING: Fan may blow debris from vent area at any time. Keep face and eyes away from area above vents. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always use eye protection.

• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk

of electric shock if your body is grounded.

• Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water

entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or

pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp

edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.

Additional Specific Safety Instructions When Using DW0247 AC Adapter

•Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one

blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.

Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the

tool accidentally.
