Important Safety Instructions for Battery Packs

The DC011 will charge 7.2 volt–18 Volt D

E

WALT Battery Packs and will play using 7.2–18 Volt

D

E

WALT Battery Packs. When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to include catalog

number and voltage. Extended Run-Time battery packs deliver more run-time than standard

battery packs. Consult the chart in this manual for compatibility of chargers and battery packs.

NOTE:

Your tool will accept either standard or Extended Run Time battery packs. However, be

sure to select proper voltage.

The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before using the battery pack and

radio/charger, read the safety instructions below. Then follow charging procedures outlined.

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

broken 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

minutes and seek immediate medical attention. (

Medical note:

The liquid is 25-35%

solution of potassium hydroxide.)

•

Charge the battery packs only in D

E

WALT 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 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.

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.

The RBRC™ Seal

The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the nickel-

cadmium 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

E

WALT. 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

E

WALT and other battery users, has established programs in the

United States to facilitate the collection of spent nickel-cadmium batteries. Help protect our envi-

ronment and conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel-cadmium battery to an

authorized D

E

WALT 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.

RBRC™ is a registered trademark of the

Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation.

Important Safety Instructions for Battery Charging

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 radio/charger. Electric shock may result.

CAUTION:

To reduce the risk of injury, charge only D

E

WALT rechargeable batteries. Other

types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.

CAUTION:

Under certain conditions, with the radio/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 charg-

er from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug radio/charger before

attempting to clean.

•

DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones in this

manual.

The radio/charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work together.

•

These radio/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.

•

Do not expose radio/charger to rain or snow.

•

Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting radio/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.

Charging Procedure (Fig. 1)

DANGER:

120 volts present at charging terminals. Do not probe with conductive objects.

Danger of electric shock or electrocution. Keep battery door closed and latched at all times

1. Plug the radio/charger into an appropriate AC power outlet or generator.

2. Insert the battery pack into the charging receptacle (I). Make sure the pack is fully seated in

the radio/charger, close the rear door and fasten the latch (H).

3. The red light on the front of the radio (J) 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

E

WALT 7.2 volt –18 volt NiCd battery packs is approximately one hour.

Indicator Light Operation

Charge Indicators

The radio/charger is 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 radio/charger. If the problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the

radio/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 radio/charger tested at an authorized

service center.

HOT/COLD PACK DELAY

The radio/charger has a Hot/Cold Pack Delay feature: when the radio/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 radio/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.

PROBLEM POWER LINE

The radio/charger has a Problem Power Line indicator. When the radio/charger is used with some

portable power sources such as generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the radio/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.

LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE RADIO/CHARGER

The radio/charger and battery pack can be left connected with the red light glowing indefinitely.

The radio/charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged.
