battery charger and product using the battery.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, use
charger only with this product. Batteries in other
products may burst causing personal injury
or damage.
•
Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
•
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold
by CRAFTSMAN may result in a risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury to persons.
•
Pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the charger.
This will reduce the risk of
damage to the electric plug and cord.
•
Make sure that the 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.
•
When operating a charger outdoors, always provide
a dry location and use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
•
Two-wire cords can be used with 2-wire or 3-wire
extension cords.
Only round jacketed extension cords
should be used, and we recommend that they be listed
by Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.). If the extension is to
be used outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor
use. Any cord marked for outdoor use can also be used
for indoor work. The letters “W” or “WA” on the cord jacket
indicate that the cord is suitable for outdoor use.
•
An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety.
The
smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the
capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity
than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
When using more than one extension to make up the
total length, be sure each individual extension contains at
least the minimum wire size. The following table shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Not Recommended
•
Use only the supplied charger when charging your
tool. The use of any other charger could damage the
tool or create a hazardous condition.
•
Use only one charger when charging.
•
Do not attempt to open the charger.
There are
no customer serviceable parts inside. Return to any
authorized CRAFTSMAN service center.
• Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Inserting or removing the drill from the charger may
ignite the dust or fumes.
•
Do not place any object on top of the 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 the charger with a damaged cord
or plug
–have them replaced immediately.
•
Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any
way.
Take it to an authorized service center.
•
Do not disassemble the charger; take it to an
authorized service center when service or repair
is required.
Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock, electrocution or fire.
•
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.
•
NEVER
attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
•
The charger is designed to operate on standard 120V
household electrical power. Do not attempt to use it
on any other voltage.
WARNING:
Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to
get inside the charger. Electric shock may result.
WARNING:
Burn hazard. Do not submerge the
battery pack in any liquid or allow any liquid to
enter the battery pack. Never attempt to open the
battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of
the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service
center for recycling.
CAUTION:
Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only CRAFTSMAN
rechargeable battery packs.
Other types of batteries may overheat and burst
resulting in personal injury and property damage.
CAUTION:
Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged into the power supply, the charger can
be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials
of a conductive nature, such as, but not limited to,
grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum
foil or any buildup of metallic particles should be
kept away from the charger cavities. Always unplug
the charger from the power supply when there is no
battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger before
attempting to clean.
