Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. 
Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the 
voltage on the rating plate. Also make sure that the voltage of 
your charger corresponds to that of yourmains.
Your 
 charger is double insulated in 
accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth wire 
isrequired.
 
WARNING: 115 V units have to be operated via a fail-safe 
isolating transformer with an earth screen between the 
primary and secondary winding. 
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a 
specially prepared cord available through the 
 
serviceorganisation.
Mains Plug Replacement 
(U.K. & Ireland Only)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
•  Safely dispose of the oldplug.
•  Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in theplug.
•  Connect the blue lead to the neutralterminal.
 
WARNING: No connection is to be made to the 
earthterminal.
Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs. 
Recommended fuse: 3A.
Using an Extension Cable
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely 
necessary. Use an approved extension cable suitable for 
the power input of your charger (see Technical Data). The 
minimum conductor size is 1mm
2
; the maximum length 
is30m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cablecompletely.

Important Safety Instructions for All 
Battery Chargers
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 
batterypack.
 
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get 
inside charger. Electric shock mayresult.
 
WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current 
device with a residual current rating of 30mA orless.
 
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, 
charge only 
 rechargeable batteries. Other types of 
batteries may burst causing personal injury anddamage.
 
CAUTION: Children should be supervised to ensure that 
they do not play with theappliance.
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
•  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 worktogether.
•  These chargers are not intended for any uses other than 
charging 
 rechargeable batteries. Any other uses 
may result in risk of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.
•  Do not expose charger to rain orsnow.
•  Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting 
charger. This will reduce risk ofdamage to electric plug 
andcord.
•  Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be 
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to 
damage orstress.
•  Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely 
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk 
of fire,electric shock, orelectrocution.
•  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 thehousing.
•  Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug—
have them replacedimmediately.
•  Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, 
been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it 
to an authorised servicecentre.
•  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 
orfire.
•  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 anyhazard.
•  Disconnect the charger from the outlet before 
attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of
