Battery Charger Safety

Use the battery charger correctly
• Refer to the section of this manual relating to use of the battery charger before attempting
to charge the battery.
• Do not attempt to use the charger with any batteries other than those supplied. Keep your
battery charger clean; foreign objects or dirt may cause a short or block air vents. Failure
to follow these instructions may cause overheating or fire
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard
• Examine the battery charger regularly for damage, especially the cord, plug and enclosure.
If the battery charger is damaged, it must not be used until it has been repaired

WARNING: DO NOT attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
Battery and charger safety features
The battery and charger are fitted with a number of safety features which may be triggered
during charging or operation:
• Over-charge protection: Charger automatically switches off when the battery has
reached full charge capacity, protecting the internal components of the battery
• Over-discharge protection: Prevents the battery from discharging beyond the
recommended lowest safety voltage
• Over-heat protection: Sensor switches off if the battery becomes too hot during
operation. This can happen if the tool is overloaded or being used for extended periods
of time. Up to 30 minutes cooling time may be required depending on the ambient
temperature
• Overload protection: Battery temporarily stops if it is overloaded or the maximum current
draw is exceeded, protecting the internal components. The battery will resume normal
operation when the current draw returns to a normal safe level. This may take a few
seconds
• Short circuit protection: The battery will stop working immediately if a short circuit
occurs, this prevents damage to the battery or tool
