Battery Safety
WARNING:
Batteries can explode, or leak, and can
cause injury or re. To reduce this risk:
• Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the
battery label and package, and the accompanying
Battery Safety manual.
• Do not dispose of batteries in re.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children.
• Remove batteries when the device is not in use.
• Use only the charger specied for your rechargeable
battery pack.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the laser before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the laser. Such preventative safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the laser accidentally.
• Use the laser only with specically designated
battery packs. Use of other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and re.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or laser that is damaged or
modied. Damaged or modied batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in re, explosion, or
risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or laser to re
or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or
temperature above 265° F (130° C) may cause an
explosion.
• Follow all the charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack outside of the temperature range
specied in the instructions. Charging improperly or
at temperatures outside of the specied range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of re.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in
locations where the temperature may fall below
39.2 ˚F (4 ˚C) (such as outside sheds or metal
buildings in winter), or reach or exceed 104 ˚F
(40 ˚C) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings
in summer).
Powering the Laser
This laser can be powered by either of these battery
packs:
• A D
WALT 12V MAX* Li-ion Battery Pack.
*Maximum initial battery voltage (measured without a
workload) is 12 volts. Nominal voltage is 10.8.
• A D
WALT 20V MAX* Li-ion Battery Pack.
*Maximum initial battery voltage (measured without a
workload) is 20 volts. Nominal voltage is 18.

Charging the Li-ion Battery
1. If the DEWALT 12V/20V MAX* Li-ion battery pack is
attached to the laser, remove it.
• While pressing down on the release button on the
battery pack (Figure B 1), pull the battery pack
up to unlock it from the laser.
• Pull the battery pack the rest of the way up and
out of the laser (Figure B 2).
2. Plug the charger cord into an electrical outlet.
3. Slide the battery pack into the charger until it snaps
in place (Figure A 1). On the charger, the left
