CAUTION:To reduce the risk of injury, charge only DEWALT 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.
DANGER: 120 volts present at charging terminals. Do not probe with conductive objects. Danger of electric shock or electrocution.
WARNING: Don’t allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock may result.
•The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work together. DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones in this manual.
•These 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.
•To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger.
•Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
•An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of 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.

•The charger is ventilated through slots in the top and the bottom of the housing. 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.
•Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug — have them replaced immediately.
•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.
•To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any cleaning. Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.
•NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
•The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (120 Volts AC). Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage! This does not apply to vehicular charger.
