THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR BATTERY CHARGER.
•
Before using the charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the
charger, the battery pack and the product using the battery pack.
Danger!
If the battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into
charger. There is a danger of electric shock or electrocution.
Warning!
Don’t allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock may
result. To facilitate cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid placing the
charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal shed, or an
uninsulated trailer.
•
This charger is not intended for any uses other than charging rechargeable batteries.
Any other use may result in the risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
•
Do not place any objects on top of the battery or charging stand whilst it's being
charged, doing so may result in excessive internal heat. Place the battery and
charging stand away from other heat sources when recharging the battery.
•
To reduce the risk of damage to the transformer and cord, pull by the transformer
rather than the cord when disconnecting the transformer from the power supply
(power point).
•
Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
•
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an
improper extension cord could result in the risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
•
Do not operate the transformer and stand if they have received a sharp blow, been
dropped or otherwise damaged in any way.
•
Do not disassemble the transformer or charging stand if service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembling may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution
or fire. New chargers can be obtained through Ozito by your local Bunnings
special orders desk.
•
To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the transformer from the socket outlet
before attempting any cleaning.
•
Never attempt to connect 2 separate transformers together.
•
DO NOT store or use the battery in locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 40ºC (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
•
The transformer is designed to operate on standard household electrical power
(230 – 240 volts). Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage.
•
The longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery is charged
when the air temperature is between 18 - 24ºC. Do not charge the battery in an air
temperature below 10º C or above 40º C. This is important and will prevent damage.
•
Do not incinerate battery even if it is seriously damaged or completely worn out.
Batteries can explode in a fire.
•
Never attempt to open batteries for any reason. If the plastic housing breaks or
cracks, immediately discontinue use and do not recharge.
