  •  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° – 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). This is 
important and will prevent serious damage to 
the battery pack.
  •  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 
 
rechargeable batteries. Any other uses 
may result in risk of fire, electric shock or 
electrocution.
  •  Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
  •  Pull by plug rather than cord when 
disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk 
ofdamage to electric plug and cord.
  •  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.
  •  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 authorised 
service centre.
  •  Do not disassemble charger; take it to an 
authorised service centre when service or 
repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may 
result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or 
fire.
  •  In case of damaged power supply cord the 
supply cord must be replaced immediately by 
the manufacturer, its service agent or similar 
qualified person to prevent any hazard.
  •  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.
Read instruction manual before use.
Wear ear protection.
Wear eye protection.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual 
contains important safety and operating 
instructions for compatible battery chargers (refer to 
TechnicalData).
  •  Before using charger, read all instructions and 
cautionary markings on charger, battery pack, 
and product using battery pack.
   WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow 
any liquid to get inside charger. Electric 
shock may result.
    WARNING: We recommend the use of 
a residual current device with a residual 
current rating of 30mA or less.
   CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce 
the risk of injury, charge only 
 
rechargeable batteries. Other types of 
batteries may burst causing personal 
injury and damage.
   CAUTION: Children should be 
supervised to ensure that they do not 
play with the appliance.
   NOTICE: 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
