THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATING IN-

STRUCTIONS FOR YOUR 

BATTERY CHARGER.

1. 

Before using the charger read all instructions and cautionary markings on the 

charger, battery pack and the product using the battery pack.

2. 

This charger is not intended for any uses other than charging rechargeable batter-

ies. Any other use may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.

3. 

Do not place any object on top of the charger or place the charger on a soft surface 

that may result in excessive internal heat. Place the charger in a position away 

from any heat source.

4. 

To reduce risk of damage to the electric plug and cord, pull by the plug rather than 

the cord when disconnecting the charger.

5. 

Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or 

otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

6. 

An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an im-

proper extension cord could result in the risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.

7. 

Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or other-

wise damaged in any way. Have it checked by an electrician or power tool repairer.

8. 

Do not disassemble charger. Take it to an electrician or power tool repairer when 

service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric 

shock, electrocution or fire.

9. 

To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before attempt-

ing any cleaning. Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.

10.  Never attempt to connect 2 chargers together.

11.  DO NOT store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may 

reach or exceed 40ºC (such as inside sheds or metal buildings in summer).

12.  The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (240 

volts). Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage!

13.  The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. First read the safety instruc-

tions and then follow the charging notes and procedures.

14.  The longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is 

charged when the air temperature is between 18 - 24ºC. Do not charge the battery 

pack in an air temperature below 10ºC or above 40ºC. This is important and will 

prevent damage to the battery pack.

15.  Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously damaged or is completely 

worn out. The battery can explode in a fire.

16.  Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the bat-

tery pack breaks or cracks, immediately discontinue use and do not recharge.

17.  During charging, the battery must be placed in a well ventilated area.
