Battery Pack Cleaning Instructions Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the battery using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or any cleaning solutions. Fuel Gauge Battery Packs Some DeWALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of charge remaining in the battery pack. The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of charge remaining in the battery pack according to the following indicators: 75-100% charged 51-74% charged < 50% charged Pack needs to be charged 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 fuel gauge will not illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged. NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is subject to variation based on product components, temperature and end-user application. For more information regarding fuel gauge battery packs, please contact 1-800-4-DeWALT (1-800-433-9258) or visit our website www.dewalt.com. 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. NOTE: Li-ion batteries should not be put in checked baggage. English Shipping the DeWALT FLEXVOLT™ Battery Pack The DeWALT FLEXVOLT™ battery pack has a battery cap that should be used when shipping the battery pack. Attach the cap to the battery pack to ready it for shipping. This converts the battery pack to three separate 20V batteries . The three batteries have the Watt hour rating labeled "Shipping" on the battery pack. If shipping without the cap or in a tool, the pack is one battery at the Watt hour rating labeled "Use". Example battery pack label: USE: 120 Wh SHIPPING: 3 x 40 Wh In this example, the battery pack is three batteries with 40 Watt hours each when using the cap. Otherwise, the battery pack is one battery with 120 Watt hours. The RBRC® Seal Please take your spent battery packs to an authorized DWALT service center or to your local retailer for recycling.

Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Chargers WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, and cautionary markings for the battery pack, charger and product. 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 a DeWALT charger. DeWALT chargers and battery packs are specifically designed to work together. • 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. • 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. • 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. 5
