Additional safety rules  

for the charging system

 

Before using the charging system, read all the 

instructions and cautionary markings on the adaptor 

charger, charging stand and battery pack as well as the 

instructions on using the battery pack.

 

Only charge your batteries indoors as the charging 

system is designed for indoor use only.

  DANGER.

 If the battery pack is cracked or damaged in 

any other way, do not insert it in the charging slide. There 

is a danger of electric shock or electrocution.

  WARNING.

 Do not allow any liquid to come into  

contact with the charging system. There is a danger of 

electric shock.

 

Allow the battery pack to cool down after charging. Do 

not place it in a hot environment such as a metal shed or 

open trailer left in the sun.

 

The charging system is not intended for any use other 

than charging the exact type of rechargeable battery pack 

as supplied with the charging system. Any other use may 

result in the risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.

 

The charging system and battery packs supplied with it 

are specifically designed to work together. Do not attempt 

to charge the battery pack with any other charging 

system than the one supplied.

 

Do not place any object on top of the charging slide as 

it could cause overheating. Do not place the charging 

system near any heat source.

 

Pull on the plug to disconnect it from the power source.

 

Make sure that the charging system cable is positioned 

where 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. The use of an improper extension cord could 

cause the risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
