THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR BATTERY CHARGER.
Before using the charger read all instructions and cautionary markings on the charger,
battery pack and the product using the battery pack.
This charger is not intended for any uses other than charging rechargeable batteries.
Any other use may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
Do not place any object on top of the charger or place the charger on a soft surface
that may result in excessive internal heat. Place the charger in a position away from any
heat source.
To reduce risk of damage to the electric plug and cord, pull by the plug rather than the
cord when disconnecting the charger.
Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper
extension cord could result in the risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise
damaged in any way. Have it checked by an electrician or power tool repairer.
Do not disassemble charger. Take it to an electrician or power tool repairer when
service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock,
electrocution or fire.
To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting
any cleaning. Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.
Never attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
DO NOT store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature
may reach or exceed 40ºC (such as inside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (240 volts).
Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage!
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. First read the safety instructions
and then follow the charging notes and procedures.
