(1) battery charger, (2) battery pack, and (3)
product using battery.
CAUTION
To reduce risk of injury,
charge only Li-Ion type
rechargeable batteries. Other types of
batteries may burst causing personal injury
and damage.
Charge battery pack within the required
temperature range. Store charger and
battery pack in locations where temperature
is within the recommended storage
temperature range.
This is important to prevent
serious damage to the battery cells.
Do not recharge battery in damp or wet
environment. Do not expose charger to rain
or snow.
Water entering battery charger may
result in electric shock or fire.
Battery leakage may occur under extreme
usage or temperature conditions. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes.
The battery liquid
is caustic and could cause chemical burns to
tissues. If liquid comes in contact with skin,
wash quickly with soap and water. If the liquid
contacts your eyes, flush them with water for
a minimum of 10 minutes and seek medical
attention.
Place charger on flat nonflammable surfaces
and away from flammable materials when
recharging battery pack.
Carpeting and
other heat insulating surfaces block proper air
circulation which may cause overheating of the
charger and battery pack. If smoke or melting
of the charger or battery pack is observed,
unplug the charger immediately and do not use
the battery pack or charger. Contact customer
service immediately.
Keep the cord and charger from heat to
prevent damage to housing or internal parts.
Do not allow gasoline, oils, petroleum-based
products, etc. to come in contact with plastic
parts.
These materials contain chemicals that
can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
Make sure cord is located so that it will not
be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.
Damaged plug
and cord may result in electric shock or fire.
Disconnect the charger by pulling the plug
rather than the cord. Do not operate charger
with damaged cord or plug; have them
replaced immediately.
Damaged plug or cord
may result in electric shock or fire.
Do not insert battery pack in charger if
battery pack case is cracked.
Using damaged
battery pack may result in electric shock or fire.
Do not disassemble charger or operate the
charger if it has received a sharp blow, been
dropped or otherwise damaged in anyway.
Incorrect reassembly or damage may result in
electric shock or fire.
Before each use, check the battery charger,
cable and plug. If damage is detected, do
not use the battery charger. Never open
the battery charger yourself, take it to a
FLEX Factory Service Center, or qualified
serviceman only using original spare parts.
Incorrect reassembly may result in electric
shock or fire.
Do not touch the uninsulated portion of
output connector or uninsulated battery
terminal.
There is a risk of electric shock.
Do not use attachment not recommended
or sold by FLEX.
Using attachments not
recommended may result in electric shock or
fire.
Do not store battery pack in charger.
Battery
pack stored in charger over a long period of
time could lead to battery pack damage and fire.
Unplug charger from outlet before storage,
attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of electric shock or fire.
Keep the battery charger clean by blowing
compressed air on charger vents and wiping
the charger housing with a damp cloth.
Contamination may result in electric shock or
fire.
Replace battery pack if a substantial drop
in operating time per charge is observed.
Battery pack may be nearing the end of its life.
