Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Packs

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.

Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

Do not charge or use the battery pack in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery pack from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
NEVER force the battery pack into the charger or tool. DO NOT modify the battery pack in any way to fit into
a non‑compatible charger as battery pack may rupture causing serious personal injury.
Charge the battery packs only in DEWALT chargers.
DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
DO NOT allow water or any liquid to enter battery pack.
Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 104 °F (40 °C) (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.
Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.
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.
Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to ﬁre or excessive temperature. Exposure to ﬁre or temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
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.
Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark or flame.
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 or tool. 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). Contact your DEWALT service center or distributor for returning damaged battery packs.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the battery pack except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritations or burns.

When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

Transportation

WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store, carry, or transport 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, coins, hand tools, etc. 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 battery packs should not be put in checked baggage on airplanes and must be properly protected from short circuits if they are in carry‑on baggage.

Shipping the DEWALT POWERSHIFT® Battery Pack
The DEWALT POWERSHIFT® battery pack has a shipping card that should be used when shipping the battery pack.

Attach the card to the battery pack to ready it for shipping. This converts the battery pack to three separate batteries. The three batteries have the Watt hour rating labeled “Shipping” on the battery pack for US ground shipments. If shipping without the card, the pack is one battery at the Watt hour rating labeled “Use.”

Example battery pack label:
USE: 554 Wh SHIPPING: 3 x 184.5 Wh

In this example, the battery pack is three batteries with 184.5 Watt hours each when using the card. Otherwise, the battery pack is one battery with 554 Watt hours.

Battery Recycling

It is important to recycle lithium ion batteries at end of life as they contain valuable materials that can be reused for new purposes. Do not discard lithium ion batteries in the trash as they can be crushed and start a fire during processing. The batteries that are supplied with this equipment are considered “High Energy Batteries” which mean that have an energy greater than 300 Wh and need to be recycled in a different a program than other lower energy rechargeable battery packs. Please see the following website for more information regarding battery recycling: dewalt.com/high-energy-battery-info.

Important Charging Notes

NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of Li‑ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before first use. The shipping card needs to be removed before charging or using the battery. Grip and pull the shipping card up to remove it. The state of charge LEDs will not illuminate without removing the shipping card.

Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65 ° F – 75 ° F (18 ° C– 24 ° C). DO NOT charge when the battery pack is below 40 ° F (4.5 ° C), or above 104 ° F (40 ° C). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
The charger and battery pack may become warm to the touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal shed or an uninsulated trailer.

If the battery pack does not charge properly:
- Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance;
- Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights;
- If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local service center.
You may charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no adverse effect on the battery pack.
