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 STANLEYFATMAX 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 STANLEYFATMAX 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 
electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce 
thisrisk.
•  NEVER attempt to connect two chargerstogether.
•  The charger is designed to operate on standard 
230V household electrical power. Do not attempt to 
use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the 
vehicularcharger.
