1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFE TY AND OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SHINEMATE LI-ION CHARGER.
2. BEFORE USING THE BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER, READ THIS OPERATOR'S MANUAL, YOUR TOOL
OPERATOR'S MANUAL, AND ALL LABELS ON THE BATTERY PACK, CHARGER AND TOOL.
3. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, CHARGE SHINEMATE RECHARGEABLE LI-ION BATTERIES ONLY IN
SHINEMATE CHARGERS.
Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage. Do not wire a
battery pack to a power supply plug or car cigarette lighter. Batteries will be permanently disabled or damaged.
4. USE SHINEMATE LI-ION PACKS ONLY ON COMPATIBLE SHINEMATE LI-ION TOOLS.
Use with other tools may
result in a risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.
5. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS.
Do not charge battery pack in rain, snow, damp or wet locations. Do not
use battery pack or charger in the presence of explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or flammable
materials) because sparks may be generated when inserting or removing battery pack, possibly causing fire.
6. CHARGE IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA.
Do not block charger vents. Keep them clear to allow proper
ventilation. Do not allow smoking or open flames near a charging battery pack. Vented gases may explode.
7. MAINTAIN CHARGER CORD.
When unplugging charger, pull plug rather than cord to reduce the risk of damage
to the electrical plug and cord. Never carry charger by its cord. Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges. Make
sure cord will not be stepped on, tripped over or subjected to damage or stress. Do not use charger with
damaged cord or plug. Have a damaged charger replaced immediately.
8. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.
Using the wrong, damaged or
improperly wired extension cord could result in the risk of fire and electrical shock. If an extension cord must
be used, plug the charger into a properly wired 16 gauge or larger extension cord with pins that are the same
number, size and shape as the pins on the charger. Make sure that the extension cord is in good electrical
condition.
9. CHARGER IS RATED FOR 100-240 VOLT AC.
Charger must be plugged into an appropriate receptacle.
10. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ATTACHMENTS.
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery
charger or battery pack manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.
11. UNPLUG CHARGER WHEN NOT IN USE.
Remove battery packs from unplugged chargers.
12. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
always unplug charger before cleaning or maintenance. Do not
allow water to flow into AC/DC plug. Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce shock hazards.
13. DO NOT BURN OR INCINERATE BATTERY PACKS.
Battery packs may explode, causing personal injury or
damage. Toxic fumes and materials are created when battery packs are burned.
14. DO NOT CRUSH, DROP, OR DAMAGE battery pack.
Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a
sharp blow, been dropped, run over, or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped
on).
15. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE.
Incorrect reassembly may result in the risk of electric shock, fire or exposure to
battery chemicals. If it is damaged, take it to a SHINEMATE service facility.
16. BATTERY CHEMICALS CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS.
Never allow contact with skin, eyes, or mouth. If a damaged
battery pack leaks battery chemicals, use rubber or neoprene gloves to dispose of it. If skin is exposed to
battery fluids, wash with soap and water and rinse with vinegar. If eyes are exposed to battery chemicals,
immediately flush with water for 20 minutes and seek medical attention. Remove and dispose of contaminated
clothing.
17. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT.
A short-circuited battery pack may cause fire, personal injury, and product damage.
A battery pack will short circuit if a metal object makes a connection between the positive and negative
contacts on the battery pack. Do not place a battery pack near anything that may cause a short circuit, such as
coins, keys or nails in your pocket.
18. DO NOT ALLOW FLUIDS TO FLOW INTO BATTERY PACK.
Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater,
certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
19. STORE YOUR BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER IN A COOL, DRY PLACE.
Do not store battery pack where
temperatures may exceed 104°F (40°C) such as in direct sunlight, a vehicle or metal building during the
summer.
20. THIS CHARGER AND BATTERY PACK ARE NOT INTENDED FOR USE BY CHILDREN AND PERSONS WITH
PHYSICAL, SENSORY OR MENTAL LIMITATIONS OR A LACK OF EXPERIENCE OR KNOWLEDGE.
