Important Safety Instructions for All Battery
Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains
important safety and operating instruc tions for the
57546 battery charger.
• Before using charger, read all instructions and
cautionary markings on charger, battery pack,
and product using battery pack.
DANGER: Electrocution hazard. 230 volts are
present at charging terminals. Do not probe
with conductive objects. Electric shock or
electrocution may result.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any
liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock may
result.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk
of injury, charge only Berner rechargeable
batteries. Other types of batteries may burst
causing personal injury and damage.
CAUTION: Under certain conditions, with the
charger plugged in to the power supply, the
exposed charging contacts inside the charger
can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign
materials of a conductive nature such as, but
not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any
buildup of metallic particles should be kept
away from charger cavities. Always unplug the
charger from the power supply when there is
no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger
before attempting to clean.
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with
any chargers other than the ones in this manual.
The charger and battery pack are specifi cally designed
to work together.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other
than charging Berner rechargeable batteries. Any
other uses may result in risk of fi re, electric shock or
electrocution.
• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting
charger. This will reduce risk of damage to electric
plug and cord.
• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected
to damage or stress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is
absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension
cord could result in risk of fi re, electric shock, or
electrocution.
• 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. The charger is ventilated through slots in
the top and the bottom of the housing.
• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or
plug — have them replaced immediately.
• 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.
• Do not disassemble charger; take it to an
authorized service center when service or repair
is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk
of electric shock, electrocution or fi re.
• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before
attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk
of electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not
reduce this risk.
• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard
230V household electrical power. Do not attempt
to use it on any other voltage. This does not apply
to the vehicular charger.
