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 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 ALL 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 small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. This does not indicate a failure.
However, if the outer seal is broken:
a. and the battery liquid gets on your skin, immediately wash with soap and water for several minutes.
b. and the 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 battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 105^ (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 bat
tery 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 prohibit 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 individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
The RBRC™ 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 municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program 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 D EwALT 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.

Important Safety Instructions for Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important safety instructions for battery chargers.
Before using charger, read all 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 liquid to get inside charger.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, DEWALT nickel cadmium rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
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 materials 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 is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
-
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 allow charger to get wet.
DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never carry charger by cord or yank to disconnect from receptacle. Pull 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 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.
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. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. If an extension cord is to be used outdoors it must be marked with the suffix "A" or "W" following the cord type designation. For example - SJTW-A to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
Recommended Minimum Wire Size for Extension Cordstal Length of Cord
| 25 ft. | 50 ft. | 75 ft. | 100 ft. | 125 ft. | 150 ft. | 175 ft. |
| 7.6 m | 15.2 m | 22.9 m | 30.5 m | 38.1 m | 45.7 m | 53.3 m |
| Wire Size AWG | ||||||
| 18 | 18 | 16 | 16 | 14 | 14 | 12 |
-
Do not place any object on top of charger or place the charger on a soft surface that might block the ventilation slots and result in excessive internal heat. Place the charger in a position away from any heat source. The charger is ventilated through slots in the top and the bottom of the housing.
-
Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug — have them replaced immediately.
- Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized service center.
- Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorized service center when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.
- Disconnect the charger from the outlet before attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.
NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together. - The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (120 Volts). Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE
Charging Procedure
DG4400B, DG4400BC, DG6300B.
DG6300BC, DG7000B, DG7000BC
ADANGER: Electrocution hazard. 120 volts are present at charging terminals. Do not probe with conductive objects.
- Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting battery pack.
- Remove the caps from the battery pack and insert battery pack into the charger. The red (charging) light will blink continuously indicating that the charging process has started.
- The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light remaining ON continuously. The pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger.

Using Automatic Tune-UpTM Mode
DG4400B, DG4400BC, DG6300B, DG6300BC, DG7000B, DG7000BC
The automatic Tune-Up™ Mode equalizes or balances the invidual cells in the battery pack allowing it to function at peak capacity. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly or after 10 charge/discharge cycles or whenever the pack no longer delivers the same amount of work. To use the Automatic Tune-Up™, place the battery pack in the charger and leave it for at least 8 hours.
Indicator Light Operation

Charge Indicators
DG4400B, DG4400BC, DG6300B, DG6300BC, DG7000B, DG7000BC
Some chargers are designed to detect certain problems that can arise with battery packs. Problems are indicated by the red light flashing at a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert battery pack into the charger. If the problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the charger is OK. If the new pack charges correctly, then the original pack is defective and should be returned to a service center or other collection site for recycling. If the new battery pack elicits the same trouble indication as the original, have the charger tested at an authorized service center.
HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
Some chargers have a Hot/Cold Pack Delay feature: when the charger detects a battery that is hot, it automatically starts a Hot Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery has cooled. After the battery has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the Pack Charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. The red light flashes long, then short while in the Hot Pack Delay mode.
PROBLEM POWER LINE
Some chargers have a Problem Power Line indicator. When the charger is used with some portable power sources such as generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the charger may temporarily suspend operation, flashing the red light with two fast blinks followed by a pause. This indicates the power source is out of limits.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the red light glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged.
NOTE: A battery pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out of the charger. If the battery pack has not been kept on maintenance charge, it may need to be recharged before use. A battery pack may also slowly lose its charge if left in a charger that is not plugged into an appropriate AC source.
WEAK BATTERY PACKS: Chargers can also detect a weak battery. Such batteries are still usable but should not be expected to perform as much work. In such cases, about 10 seconds after battery insertion, the charger will beep rapidly 8 times to indicate a weak battery condition. The charger will then go on to charge the battery to the highest capacity possible.
Important Charging Notes
- Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65^ and 75^ (18^ - 24^) . DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air tem
perature below +40^ (+4.5^) or above +105^ (+40.5^) . This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
- The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal shed, or an uninsulated trailer.
- If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights.
c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 65^ - 75^ (18^ - 24^)
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local service center. - The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no adverse effect on the battery pack.
- Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply, the exposed charging contacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials 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 is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
- Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid. WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger.
CAUTION: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service center for recycling.
Charging Portable Power Tool Batteries
WARNING: Condenser type chargers should not be used with portable generators. Irregular generator power could cause a condenser type charger to fail. DEWALT has produced condenser type chargers in the past. (DW9104 and DW9106). If you have any questions regarding the use of a DEWALT Charger with a generator, please call 1-800-4-DEWALT.
NOTE: Other battery charger manufacturers have and still produce condenser type chargers. Please contact manufacturer to see if it is safe to use chargers with portable generators.

A grounding lug (VV) is supplied with the generator for use when required by local electrical ordinances. Refer to article 250 of the National Electrical Code to clarify any needed grounding information. Your local electric company or a certified electrician should be able to help you with this information.

NOTE: Your engine is already grounded to the frame by a grounding strap.
Use of Extension Cords
WARNING: Use only grounded extension cords. Use only three wire or double-insulated power tools.
Only use grounded extension cords that are rated for outdoor use and equipment with a third-wire ground. When using the 20A or 30A twist-locking receptacle, you must connect through a GFCI protected spider box or use an in-line GFCI adapter.
When a long extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a voltage drop occurs. The longer the cord, the greater the voltage drop. This results in less voltage being supplied to the appliance or tool and increases the amount of current (amp) draw or reduces performance. A heavier cord with a larger wire size will reduce the voltage drop. Be sure to choose a cord that will supply enough voltage to operate your tool or appliance. The tables indicate appropriate gauge for extension cords and the voltage drop caused by the use of extension cords, given different electrical loads.
CAUTION: Operating equipment at low voltage can cause it to overheat. Using an excessively long extension cord can cause the cord to overheat.
WARNING: Keep electrical cords in good condition. Do not use worn, bare or frayed cords because they can cause electrical shock.

DO NOT exceed the current limit specified on the control panel for any receptacle.
High Altitude Operating
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will decrease and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting.
High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications to the carburetor. If you always operate your engine at altitudes above
1,524 meters (5,000 feet), have your authorized service center perform a carburetor modification.
Even with a carburetor modification, engine horsepower will decrease about 3.5% for each 300 meter (1,000 foot) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made. A decrease in engine horsepower will decrease the power output of the generator.
NOTE: When the carburetor has been modified for high altitude operation, the air-fuel mixture will be too lean for low altitude use. If the generator is used at low altitudes after a carburetor modification, the carburetor may cause the engine to overheat and result in serious engine damage. For use at low altitudes, have your authorized service center return the carburetor to original factory specifications.
High and Low Temperature Operation
Air temperature affects generator output. Output drops 1% for each 10^ temperature rise above 60^ . Very low temperature may cause the engine to be hard to start.

California EMISSION Control WarrantY StatEMEnt Your Warranty rLIGHTS and oBILGationS
The California Air Resources Board and DEWALT are pleased to explain the Evaporative Emission Control System (EECS) warranty on your 2010 generators. In California, new generators must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. DEWALT must warrant the EECS on your generator for the period of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your generator.
Your EECS may include parts such as the carburetor, fuel-injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converter, fuel tanks, fuel lines, fuel caps, valves, canisters, filters, vapor hoses, clamps, connectors, and other associated emission-related components.
Where a warrantable condition exists, DEWALT will repair your generator at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
ManufaCturEr'S WarrantY CoVErAge:
This evaporative emission control system is warranted for two years. If any evaporative emission-related part on your equipment is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by DEWALT.
oWnEr'S WarrantY rESponSIBlItIES:
As the generator owner, you are responsible for performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. BwALT recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your generator, but DEWALT cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the generator owner, you should however be aware that D EWALT may deny you warranty coverage if your generator or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your generator to a DEWALT distribution center or service center as soon as the problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. If you have a question regarding your warranty coverage, you should contact D E W A L T Industrial Tool Co. at 1-800-4-DEWALT (1-800-433-9258) or visit the DEWALT website at www. DEWALT.com for more information and assistance.
GEnEral EMISSlonS WarrantY CoVEraGE:
DEWALT warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the generator is:
Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations;
and
Free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the failure of a warranted part for a period of two years.
The warranty period begins on the date the generator is delivered to an ultimate purchaser or first placed into service. The warranty period is two years.
Subject to certain conditions and exclusions as stated below, the warranty on emissions-related parts is as follows:
(1) Any warranted emissions-related part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions supplied, is warranted for the warranty period stated above. If any such part fails during the period of warranty coverage, the part will be repaired or replaced by D E WALT according to subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remainder of the period.
(2) Any warranted emissions-related part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written instructions supplied is warranted for the warranty period stated above. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
(3) Any warranted emissions-related part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions supplied is warranted for the period of time before the first scheduled replacement date for that part. If the part fails before the first scheduled replacement, the part will be repaired or replaced by DEWALT according to subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for the part.
(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted emissions-related part under the warranty provisions herein must be performed at a warranty station at no charge to the owner.
(5) Notwithstanding the provisions herein, warranty services or repairs will be provided at a DEWALT Authorized Warranty Service Facility.
(6) The generator owner will not be charged for diagnostic labor that is directly associated with diagnosis of a defective, emission-related warranted part, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a warranty station.
(7) DEWALT is liable for damages to other engine or equipment components proximately caused by a failure under warranty of any warranted emissions-related part.
(8) Throughout the generator warranty period stated above, DEWALT will maintain a supply of warranted emissions-related parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such parts.
(9) Any replacement part may be used in the performance of any warranty maintenance or repairs and must be provided without charge to the owner. Such use will not reduce the warranty obligations of DEWALT.
(10) Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the Air Resources Board may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on or modified parts by the ultimate purchaser will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claims. B WALT will not be liable to
warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a nonexempted add-on or modified part.
WarrantED partS:
The repair or replacement of any warranted part otherwise eligible for warranty coverage may be excluded from such warranty coverage if D-WALT demonstrates that the generator has been abused, neglected, or improperly maintained, and that such abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance was the direct cause of the need for repair or replacement of the part. That notwithstanding, any adjustment of a component that has a factory installed, and properly operating, adjustment limiting device is still eligible for warranty coverage. The following emission warranty parts list are covered:
(1) Fuel Tank
(2) Fuel Cap
(3) Fuel Line
(4) Fuel Line Fittings
