EWALT power tools: the yellow and black color scheme, the “D” shaped air
intake grill, the array of pyramids on the handgrip, the kit box confi guration, and the array of lozenge-shaped humps on the
surface of the tool.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fi re when used with another
battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifi cally designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fi re.
c) 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 fi re.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, fl ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed repair person using only identical
replacement parts.This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Specifi c Safety Rules for Worklights
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not operate worklight near fl ammable liquids or in gaseous or
explosive atmospheres. Internal sparks may ignite fumes causing personal injury.
• Do not expose light to wet or damp areas. Do not expose light to rain or snow.
• Do not wash light with water or allow water to get inside light. Do not submerge light in water
at any time.
WARNING: Do not place the worklight in a position which may cause anyone to intentionally
or unintentionally stare into the light. Serious eye injury could result.
CAUTION: When not in use, place light on its side on a stable surface where it will not
cause a tripping or falling hazard. Some products with large battery packs will stand upright
on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over.
CAUTION: Do not hold worklight in your mouth. Injury to you or a bystander could result.

Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Packs
When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to include the catalog number and voltage.
Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of chargers and battery packs.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before using the battery pack and
charger, read the safety instructions below and then follow charging procedures outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not charge or use the battery pack in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of fl ammable 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. DO NOT modify the battery pack in
any way to fi t into a non-compatible charger as battery pack may rupture causing
serious personal injury. Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of
batteries and chargers.
• 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 105°F (40°C) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in
summer). For best life store battery packs in a cool, dry location.
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.
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: 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 fi res 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 fi re. 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.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If
symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be fl ammable if exposed to spark or fl ame.
The RBRC™ Seal
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corp oration) Seal on the nickel
cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium ion batteries (or battery packs) indicate
