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.
Fig. B
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.

The RBRC® Seal
The RBRC® (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation)
Seal on the nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or
lithiumion batteries (or battery packs) indicates that the
costs to recycle these batteries
(or battery packs) at the end of their useful life have already
been paid by DeWALT. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent nickel cadmium,
nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste
stream and the Call 2 Recycle® program provides an environmentally conscious
alternative.
Call 2 Recycle, Inc., in cooperation with DeWALT and other battery users, has
established the program in the United States and Canada to facilitate the
collection of spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries.
Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the
spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries to an
authorized DeWALT 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 Call 2 Recycle, Inc.
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Chargers
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions for the
battery pack, charger and power tool. 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 the
ones in this manual. The charger and battery pack 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.
• When operating a charger outdoors, always provide a dry location and use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• 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. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The
following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower
the gauge number, the heavier the cord. Minimum gauge for Cord sets
