• Before Using the Battery Charger,
read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) Battery
Charger, (2) Battery, and (3) Product using battery.
• Use only the charger
which accompanied your product or direct replacements as listed in this
manual. Do not substitute any other charger.
• Do not recharge battery in damp or wet environments.
Do not expose battery pack to water
or rain.
• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug.
Replace immediately.
• Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped or otherwise damaged
in any way. Take it to a qualified serviceman.
• Do not disassemble charger or battery pack.
Take it to a qualified serviceman when service
or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire
.
• Do not charge battery pack
when temperature is below 50 degrees F (10 degrees C) or above
104 degrees F (40 degrees C). Store tool and battery pack in a location where temperature will
not exceed 122 degrees F (50 degree C). This is important to prevent serious
damage to the
battery cells.
• Place charger on flat non-flammable surface
and away from flammable materials when
re-charging the battery pack
.
• To reduce risk of electric shock,
unplug charger from outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning.
• If operating time has become excessively shorter,
stop operating immediately. It may result
in a risk of overheating, possible burns and even an explosion.
• Battery leakage may occur
under extreme usage or temperature conditions. Avoid contact
with skin and eyes. If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and
water. If liquid gets into your eyes, wash them out with clear water for at least 10 minutes, and
then seek medical attention right away.
• Do not attempt to use a step-up transformer,
an engine generator or DC power receptacle.
• Do not short the battery pack.
Do not touch the terminal with any conductive material. Avoid
storing battery pack in a container with other metal objects such as nails, coins, etc. Always
protect the battery terminals when battery pack is not used.
• Do not charge battery pack inside a box or container of any kind.
The battery must be
placed in a well ventilated area during charging.
• Do not allow anything to cover or clog the charger vents.
• Do not incinerate the battery pack
even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out.
The battery pack can explode in a fire.
• Disconnect Charger from the power source when not in use.
This will reduce the risk to
electric shock or damage to the charger if metal pieces should fall into the opening. It also will
help prevent damage to the charger during a power surge.

A battery short can cause a large current flow, overheating, possible burns
and even a breakdown.
WARNING:
120 volts are present at charging terminals, do not probe with conductive
objects. Electric shock or electrocution may result. Do not allow any liquid to get inside
charger. Electric shock may result.
