3. When charging the battery with a battery charger,
reduce the risk of injury by charging metabo HPT
rechargeable battery multi volt type series and BSL18
series. Other type of batteries may burst causing
personal injury and damage.
4. Do not expose charger or adapter to rain or snow.
5. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by
the charger or adapter manufacturer may result in a
risk of
fi
re, electric shock, or injury to persons.
6. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord,
pull by plug when disconnecting charger or adapter.
7. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or
stress.

* If the input rating of a charger or adapter is given in
watts rather than in amperes, the corresponding
ampere rating is to be determined by dividing the
wattage rating by the voltage rating–for example:
1,250 watts
= 10 amperes
125 volts
9. Do not operate charger or adapter with damaged
cord or plug-replace them immediately.
10. Do not operate charger or adapter if it has received a
sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in
any way; take it to a quali
fi
ed serviceman.
11. Do not disassemble charger or adapter; take it to
a quali
fi
ed serviceman when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock or
fi
re.
12. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger
or adapter from receptacle before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning. Removing the battery will
not reduce this risk.
13. This AC/DC adapter is for use only with speci
fi
c tools,
including SB3608DA. The adapter might be suitable
for use with other metabo HPT battery operated tools.
It is necessary to con
fi
rm suitability by referencing the
instruction manual of the speci
fi
c tool or by consulting
our web site https://www.metabo-hpt.com/. Failure
to con
fi
rm suitability before using the adapter with
speci
fi
c tools could result in
fi
re hazard.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE OF THE BATTERY AND
CHARGER OR ADAPTER
You must charge the battery before you can use the power
tool. Before using the model UC18YFSL battery charger,
be sure to read all instructions and cautionary statements
on it, the battery and in this manual.
CAUTION
USE ONLY metabo HPT BATTERY MODELS OF
THE MULTI VOLT SERIES. OTHER TYPES OF
BATTERIES MAY BURST AND CAUSE INJURY!
Follow these instructions to avoid the risk of injury:
WARNING
Improper use of the battery or battery charger
can lead to serious injury. To avoid these
injuries:
1.
NEVER
disassemble the battery or AC/DC adapter.
2.
NEVER
incinerate the battery or AC/DC adapter,
even if it is damaged or is completely worn out. The
battery can explode in a
fi
re.
3.
NEVER
short-circuit the battery or AC/DC adapter.
4.
NEVER
insert any objects into the charger or
adapter’s air vents. Electric shock or damage to the
charger or adapter may result.
5.
NEVER
use outdoors. Keep the battery or AC/DC
adapter away from direct sunlight and use only where
there is low humidity and good ventilation.
8. An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension
cord could result in a risk of
fi
re and electric shock.
If extension cord must be used make sure:
a. That blades of extension cord are the same
number, size, and shape as those of plug on
charger or adapter:
b. That extension cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition; and
c. That wire size is large enough for AC ampere
rating of charger or adapter as speci
fi
ed in
Table 1.
