IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
BATTERY CHARGER
Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary marking on charger,
battery pack, and product using battery pack.
WARNING:
120 volts or 230 volts present at charging terminal. Do not probe
with conductive objects. Danger of electric or electrocution.
WARNING:
If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not inset into
charger. Danger of electric or electrocution.
1.
The charger and battery pack is specially designed to work together. DO
NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any other chargers.
2.
Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
3.
The charger is not intended for any uses other than charging MOTY-KO
rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric
shock or electrocution.
4.
To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than
cord when disconnecting charger.
5.
Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
6.
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of
improper extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or
electrocution.
7.
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire
Gauge) for safety. When using more than one extension to make up the
total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size.
Recommended Minimum AWG Size for Extension Cords
Total Extension Cord Length (feet)
25 50 75 100 125 150 175
Wire Gauge
18 18 16 16 14 14 12
8. The charger is ventilated through slots in the top and the bottom of the
housing. Do not place any object on top of charger or place the charger
on a soft surface that might block the ventilation slots and result in
excessive internal heat. Place the charger in a position away from any
heat source.
9. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug - have them replace
immediately.
10. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or
otherwise damaged in any way; take it to an authorized service center.
11. Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorized service center when
service or repair is required. Incorrect reassemble may result in a risk of
electric shock, electrocution or fire.
12. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before
attempting any cleaning. Removing the battery pack will not reduce this
risk.
13.
NEVER
attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
14.
DO NOT
store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the
temperature may reach or exceed 105
(such as outside sheds or metal
buildings in summer).
15. The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical
power. Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage!
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
BATTERY PACKS
1.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton! First read the safety
instructions below. Then follow charging notes and procedures.
2. 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.
3. A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may occur under
extreme usage or temperature conditions. This does not indicate a failure.
However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your skin:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
c. If battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for a
minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
(Medical note: The liquid is 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.)
4. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic
housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, immediately discontinue use
and do not recharge.
5. Do not carry extra battery packs in aprons, pockets, or toolboxes along
with their metal objects. Battery packs could be short-circuited causing
damage to the battery pack and possibly causing severe burns or fire.
6.
Charge the battery packs only in MOTY-KO chargers.
7.
NOTE:
Review and observe all of the “Important Charging Notes” in the
charger instruction section of this manual.
8.
NOTE:
The batteries in your battery pack are the nickel-cadmium types.
Cadmium is considered to be a toxic material by the Environmental
