Important Safety Instructions for Battery chargers
SAve THeSe INSTRucTIoNS: This manual contains important safety instructions for
battery chargers.
WARNING:
Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on
charger, battery pack, and product using battery pack.
• Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger.
•
Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only designated BoSTITcH
batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
• Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to the power supply, 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 designated
BOSTITCH rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric
shock or electrocution.
• do not expose charger to rain or snow.
• When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
