The RBRC™ Seal
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corp oration) Seal on the
nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium ion batteries (or battery
packs) indicate that the costs to recycle these batteries (or battery packs)
at the end of their useful life have already been paid by B
O
STITCH. In
some areas, it is illegal to place spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal
hydride or lithium ion batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC
program provides an environmentally conscious alternative.
RBRC™, in cooperation with B
O
STITCH and other battery users, has established
programs in the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel
cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium ion batteries. Help protect our environment and
conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride
or lithium ion batteries to an authorized B
O
STITCH service center or to your local retailer
for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where
to drop off the spent battery.

Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
This manual contains important safety and operating
instructions for battery chargers.
• Before using the charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the charger,
battery pack and product using the battery pack.
Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside the charger. Electric
shock may result.
Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only B
O
STITCH
rechargeable battery packs. Other types of batteries may overheat and burst resulting in
personal injury and property damage.
Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply,
the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature,
such as, but not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil or any
buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from the charger cavities. Always unplug
the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the
charger before attempting to clean.
•
DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the
ones in this manual.
The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work
together.
•
These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging BOSTITCH
rechargeable batteries.
Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock or
electrocution.
•
Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
•
Pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger.
This will
reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug and cord.
•
Make sure that the cord is located so that 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.
Use of
improper extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
•
When operating a charger outdoors, always provide a dry location and use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
