Important safety instructions for battery pack
4) WARNING. Do not allow any liquid to come into
contact with the charger. There is a danger of electric
shock.
5) To allow the battery pack to cool down after charging,
do not place it in a hot environment such as a metal
shed or open trailer left in the sun.
6) The charger is not intended for any use other than
charging the exact type of rechargeable battery pack
as supplied with the charger. Any other use may
result in the risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
7) The charger and battery pack supplied with it are
specifically designed to work together. Do not attempt
to charge the battery pack with any other charger
than the one supplied.
8) Do not place any object on top of the charger as it
could cause overheating. Do not place the charger
near any heat source.
9) Do not pull on the plug of the charger to disconnect
it from the power source.
10) Make sure that the charger cable is positioned where
it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.
11) Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary. The use of an improper extension cord
could cause the risk of fire, electric shock or
electrocution.
12) Do not use the charger if it has been subjected to a
heavy knock, dropped or otherwise damaged in any
way. Take the charger to an authorized service
centre for a check or repair.
13) Do not disassemble the charger. Take it to an
authorized service centre when service or repair is
required. Incorrect re-assembly may result in the risk
of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
14) To reduce the risk of an electric shock, unplug the
charger from the power supply before attempting to
clean it. Removing the battery alone does not reduce
the risk.
15) Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 40
0
C (104
0
C) such as alongside sheds or
metal structures in the summer.
16) The charger is designed for use from a standard
household electrical supply (120V). Do not attempt
to connect the charger to a different supply.
17) If you wish to charge a second battery pack, unplug
the charger from the mains supply and leave it for at
least 15 minutes. After this time you can charge a
second battery pack.
1) The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a
low charge condition. You should charge the battery
pack fully before use.
2) To ensure the longest battery life and best battery
performance, always charge the battery when the
air temperature is between 18-24
0
C (65-75
0
F). Do
not charge the battery pack when the temperature is
below 4
0
C (40
0
F), or above 40
0
C (104
0
F). This is
important. Failure to observe this safety rule could
cause serious damage to the battery pack.
3) Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is
seriously damaged or can no longer hold a charge.
The battery pack can explode in a fire.
4) A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack may
occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions.
This does not necessarily indicate a failure of the
battery pack. However, if the outer seal is broken
and this leakage comes into contact with your skin,
wash the affected area quickly with soap and water;
neutralize the liquid with a mild acid such as lemon
juice or vinegar; If the leakage gets in your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean water for a minimum of 10
minutes and seek immediate medical attention. Inform
the medical staff that the liquid is a 25-35% solution
of potassium hydroxide.
5) Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason.
If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks open
or cracks, immediately discontinue its use and do not
recharge it.
6) Do not store or carry a spare battery pack in a
pocket/toolbox or any other place where it may come
into contact with metal objects. The battery pack may
be short circuited causing damaged to the battery
pack, burns or a fire.
7) The battery pack utilizes nickel-cadmium cells.
Cadmium is considered to be a toxic material.
8) Use an environmentally safe disposal unit at a
municipal waste disposal centre to dispose of a
damaged or worn out battery, or return it to your
dealer.
