Manual

• Charge the battery packs only in designated 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 40˚C (105°F) (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.

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.

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 (e.g., packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) 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.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM ION (Li-Ion)

• 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.

CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable surface where it

will not cause a tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will

stand upright on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over.

• The label on your tool may include the following symbols. The symbols and their

definitions are as follows:

V ................. volts A ...............amperes

Hz ............... hertz W ..............watts

min ............. minutes ...........alternating current

........ direct current ...........alternating or direct current

Can I store power tools in a shed or garage? Verified

In general, you can store power tools in a shed or garage, even if it sometimes freezes there. However, it is better for the lifespan of the power tool to store it in a dry place without major temperature fluctuations. In a shed or garage, differences in temperature can cause condensation to form, which can cause rust. In addition, tools that run on batteries last shorter and do not charge as well at very low temperatures. To be sure how your power tool needs to be stored, always thoroughly read the user manual.
