Instructions
for Battery
Packs
DG4400B, DG6300B AND DGT000B
An 18V DEWALT battery pack is used to start these units using the electric start feature. When
ordering replacement battery packs be sure to include catalog number and voltage: Extended
Run Time battery packs deliver 25% more run-time than standard battery packs. Consult the
chart at the end of 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
charger, read the safety instructions below. Then follow charging procedures outlined.
READ
A££
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 smafl leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may occur under extreme usage
or temperature
conditions.
This does not indicate a failure. However, ff 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 DEWALT chargers.
*
DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
*
Do not store or use the batterypack
in locations
where the temperature
may reach or exceed I05°F (such as outside sheds or metal buildings
in summer).
ADANGER:
Electrocution hazard. 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 generator or charger. Remove cap before placing battery in charger or generator.
_, WARNING: Fire hazard. 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 pro-
hibit 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 indi-
vidual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and weft insulated from
materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
The
RBRC
TM
Seal
The RBRC
TM
(Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the nickel
cadmium and nickel metal hydride batteries (or battery packs) indicate 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 and nickel metal hydride batteries in the trash or municipal solid
waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally
conscious
alternative.
RBRC
TM
in cooperation with DEWALT and other battery users, has established programs in the
United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel cadmium and nickel metal
hydride batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning
the spent nickel cadmium and nickel metal hydride 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.

Instructions
for Battery
Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
This manual contains important safety instructions for battery
chargers.
*
Before using charger, read aft instructions
and cautionary markings on charger, battery
pack, and product using battery pack.
ADANGER:
Electrocution hazard. 120 volts are present at charging terminals. Do not probe
with conductive objects.
_, WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any fiquid to get inside charger.
_CAUTION:
Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only DEWALT nickel cadmium
rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and dam-
age.
_,CAUTION:
Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to the power supply, the
exposed charging contacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign material Foreign mate-
rials 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 charger from
the power supply when there b no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before attempting
to clean.
*
DO NOTattempt
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 recharge-
able batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
*
Do not allow charger to get wet.
*
DO NOT ABUSE
CORD. Never carry charger
by cord or yank to disconnect
from
receptacle.
Puff by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk
of damage to electric plug and cord. Have damaged or worn power cord and strain relief
replaced immediately,
*
Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped
over, or oth-
erwise subjected
to damage or stress.
