DEWALT DC9000 (01) PDF Document

The DEWALT DC9000 requires no adjustment and is designed to be easy to operate. Simply place your battery pack into the receptacle of a plugged in DEWALT DC9000 and it will automatically charge the pack.

Step 1. Plug the DEWALT DC9000 into an appropriate outlet before inserting the battery pack.

Step 2. Insert the battery pack into the DEWALT DC9000. The DEWALT DC9000 is equipped with a three light fuel gauge that will blink according to the state of charge of the battery pack.

Step 3. The completion of charge is indicated by the three red lights remaining ON continuously. The pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left on the DEWALT DC9000.

The DEWALT DC9000 uses a three light fuel gauge to indicate the battery charge state:

0% to 33%: 1st light blinks

33% to 66%: 1st light on, 2nd light blinks

66% to 99%: 1st and 2nd lights on, 3rd light blinks

100%: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd lights on

When the DEWALT DC9000 is used with some portable power sources such as generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the DEWALT DC9000 may temporarily suspend operation. The three red lights will flash together with two fast blinks followed by a pause. This indicates that the power source is out of limits.

The DEWALT DC9000 can detect a weak or damaged battery. The three red lights will flash together with rapid blinking. The battery will no longer charge and should be returned to a service center or a collection site for recycling.

The DEWALT DC9000 will detect if it is not functioning properly. The three red lights will flash together with one fast blink followed by a long blink. The DEWALT DC9000 will no longer work and should be returned to an authorized service center or replaced.

The DEWALT DC9000 and battery pack can be left connected with the red lights glowing indefinitely. The DEWALT DC9000 will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged. The DEWALT DC9000 features an automatic tune up mode which equals or balances the individual cells in the battery pack to allow it to function at peak capacity. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly or whenever the battery no longer delivers the same amount of work. To use the automatic tune up mode, place the battery pack in the DEWALT DC9000 and leave it for at least 8 hours.

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18° to 24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C).

2. The DEWALT DC9000 and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging. This is a normal condition.

Step 1. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance.

Step 2. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights.

Step 3. Move the DEWALT DC9000 and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F to 75°F (18° to 24°C).

Step 4. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and the DEWALT DC9000 to a service center.
