1.2  General Safety Instructions  

 

WARNING:

 

Prior to using the CH0004, please read the safety and caution 

instructions located in this section to prevent the mischarge or catastrophic 
destruction of a battery.  
 
While inherently safe, misuse of the CH0004 may result in damage to the battery 

and/or     the CH0004 battery charger. Specifically: 

 

 

Before using the CH0004 battery charger, read all instructions and 
cautionary markings on (1) the battery charger, (2) battery, (3) product 
using the battery. 

 

 

To reduce the risk of injury, charge only batteries this charger is 
designed to charge: BB-390/U / MAI-390 Nickel Metal - Hydride, 
UBI-2590 / BB-2590/U, UBBL09 Lithium Ion and BB-590/U / MAI-590 
NiCad batteries. Attempting to charge other types of batteries may 
cause personal injury and/or equipment damage.
 

 

 

Do not operate the CH0004 if it has received a sharp blow, been 
dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified repair 
technician for servicing. 

 

 

Do not expose the unit to wet conditions (rain or snow) with the lid open. 

 

 

Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger 
manufacturer may result in risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury. 

 

 

To reduce risk of damage to electric plug or cord, pull by plug rather 
than cord when disconnecting charger. 

 

 

Make sure cord(s) 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 improper extension cord could result in risk of fire and electric shock. 

 

 

Do not operate the charger with damaged cord or plug—replace it 
immediately.  

 

 

Do not disassemble the CH0004; take it to a qualified repair technician 
when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a 
risk of electric shock or fire. 

 

 

To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from its power source 
before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will 
not reduce this risk.  

 

 

If there are any questions regarding maintenance or safety-of-use 
issues pertaining to the CH0004, please contact our service department
